Data scattered everywhere
TodayCustomers in one program, stock in another, prices in Excel. Every report is typed again by hand.
With PORTWAREOne record from the first contact to cash: entered once, right everywhere.
WHY PORTWARE
Why companies choose PORTWARE.
PORTWARE exists for one purpose: a company's work is done, followed up and remembered in one system. Here is what that solves, and what it gives you.
THE PURPOSE
Done, followed up, remembered.
-
Done in one system
Sales, production, engineering, projects, finance and HR work on one record, so nothing is typed twice.
-
Followed up by the system
Every job has an owner and a date; the system reminds, reports and tells whoever asked.
-
Remembered by the company
Every version, decision and conversation stays, even when people change.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Six problems every growing company knows. PORTWARE solves each one.
Companies rarely slow down for lack of work. They slow down because the work is scattered, forgotten or kept in a few heads.
Work slips through the cracks
TodayA promise made in a meeting is forgotten; nobody knows who was meant to call back.
With PORTWAREEvery job has an owner and a date, whoever asked is told, and the morning briefing lists what was missed.
Knowledge leaves with people
TodayWhen someone leaves, the drawings, the last decision and how the job was done leave too.
With PORTWAREEvery version, decision and conversation stays on the record: the company remembers.
Engineering lives apart
TodayCAD, revisions and software sit in separate tools, and production works from a drawing nobody is sure of.
With PORTWAREPLM, CAD, ECAD and Git Studio on the product's record: production sees the current revision and why it changed.
Subscriptions that never end
TodayA fee per user every year, an add-on for every module, and the bill grows as you grow.
With PORTWAREA licence paid once per user, installation and every application included; only maintenance is yearly, and it has a ceiling.
AI nobody can trust with data
TodayCompany data pasted into chat windows, answers nobody checks, changes nobody can undo.
With PORTWARECowork works inside PORTWARE with your rights, shows every change before it acts, and every change can be undone.
WHAT YOU GAIN
What PORTWARE gives a company.
The purpose of PORTWARE in one line: the company's work is done, followed up and remembered in one system.
Time back, every week
No re-typing and no chasing: data is entered once, time reaches the timesheet by itself and the report is ready when you ask.
Control without chasing
Who does what, by when and how far: visible on the record and the dashboard, within each person's rights.
A lower cost of ownership
One system instead of many subscriptions, and a licence paid once.
Calculate your five-year costFewer mistakes
The margin checked on every line, the data audited on every record, a quality loop from receipt to delivery.
Ready to grow
A new team, branch or company opens in the same system; the work rests on the system, not on a few people.
Yours, for good
The licence, the data and the server are yours. No vendor can lock you in, raise the rent or switch you off.
FOR EVERY TEAM
Everyone in the company sees their own gain.
Management
The company's pulse on one screen.
- Dashboards against the same period last year, with the records behind every figure
- A morning briefing of what slipped, before it becomes a problem
- Decisions, meetings and approvals traced on the record
Sales
From the first contact to the signed order, without losing a lead.
- Leads from the website, e-mail and forms, routed by themselves
- Cost and margin on every quotation line, a warning below cost
- A win probability that says why, and stale deals flagged
Production
Order, engineering, production, quality and delivery in one flow.
- Multi-level bills of materials, work orders and MRP
- Quality control at receipt, in process and before shipping
- Lots and serial numbers traced from supplier to customer
Engineering
Design, change and ship on the product's record.
- STEP, DXF, DWG and STL in the browser, revisions and e-signed changes
- Electronics in the same parts list: components, schematics, PCBs
- Git Studio: versions, baselines, customer configurations and a release gate
Finance
Numbers you can decide on, the day you need them.
- Accounting with Turkish e-Invoice and e-Archive
- Budgets that answer a purchase order before it is placed
- A 13-week cash forecast built from dated documents
Employees
Less admin, clearer work, help when it is needed.
- An agenda that is always there, with reminders that need no setup
- Meetings, activities and leave reach the timesheet by themselves
- The right document and the last decision one click away
WHY PORTWARE
Your business. Your system.
PORTWARE belongs to the company that runs on it: a licence you own outright, data that stays where you decide, processes shaped around the way you work, and an assistant that acts only with your approval.
Pay once, use for good
Pay once for the licence, installation included, and use PORTWARE permanently. The only recurring cost is maintenance and updates: $500 a year for every 10 users, at most $5,000.
Full data ownership
Deploy on your own infrastructure or on PORTWARE hosting. Your data remains under your control and is never locked into a vendor's cloud.
AI built into operations
Cowork AI understands the screen in front of you, asks for approval before it acts and supports hands-free spoken work.
Not an ERP: a productive system
An ERP keeps the records; PORTWARE also runs the work, the engineering and the knowledge around them.
Engineering built in
PLM, CAD, electronics and Git Studio sit on the product's record, not in separate tools.
Work is followed
Every task has an owner and a date, whoever asked is told, and time reaches the timesheet by itself.
Integrated office suite
Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents live on the business record, with a version history that travels with the file.
Built for Türkiye
Turkish interface, the Uniform Chart of Accounts, public holidays and e-Invoice integration as standard, not as add-ons.
A single source of truth
CRM, Manufacturing, Quality, Projects, Finance and HR share one data model: information is entered once and trusted everywhere.
