Who it’s for
Built for the outfit where the owner is still on the tools
Pordiya is job management software for trades businesses. Quotes, jobs, clients and invoices in one app that works on the phone in your pocket — including with no signal at all — so the paperwork is finished by the time you get home instead of waiting for you there.
Sole traders
On your own, and doing everything
You quote it, you do it, you invoice it, and the invoicing is the bit that slips. The free plan covers five invoices a month with every feature in it, so you can run a real business on it without paying anything until the volume says otherwise.
Usually on: Free, then Solo
Two-person outfits
You and one other
An apprentice, a partner, or someone in the office two days a week. You both need to see what is booked and what is owed, without one of you being the bottleneck for the other.
Usually on: Solo
Three to ten people
A small crew, and you are still on the tools
The point where a whiteboard stops working and per-user software starts hurting. Everyone sees the schedule, everyone logs their own hours, and taking on a fourth or a seventh person does not change your bill.
Usually on: Crew
Owner plus an office manager
Growing, and the paperwork is now somebody’s job
Someone in the office chasing money and booking work while the crew is out. Roles keep the two sides separate: the field sees the jobs, the office sees the money, and nobody is reading out invoice numbers over the phone.
Usually on: Crew
Trades
If the day ends with an invoice, it fits
Nothing here is specific to one trade. The app is built around quote, schedule, do, invoice — which is every one of these, whatever the tools in the van look like.
Honestly
And who should buy something else
Fleets of twenty-plus technicians
Dispatch boards, live vehicle tracking and route optimisation are a different product. Look at the bigger field-service platforms.
Full accounting
This is not a general ledger and does not try to be. It produces clean invoices and payments and exports them to whatever your bookkeeper already uses.
Deep inventory and purchasing
Materials on a quote, yes. Multi-warehouse stock control and purchase orders against suppliers, no.
Heavy customisation
There is no form builder and no workflow designer. The app is opinionated about how a job runs, which is what makes it quick to set up and quick to use.
Where
Priced and set up for five countries
Each of these has its own price in its own currency, and its own tax rules already handled. It works anywhere we can legally sell — these are the ones where you do not have to configure anything.
Australia
GST, done the way the ATO expects
The United States
Sales tax, set the way your state works
Canada
GST, HST and the provincial patchwork
New Zealand
GST at 15%, and what IRD expects on the invoice
