From request to paid, in one app

The ship agent opens PORTDA and creates a new request. They specify vessel name + IMO, port + berth (or anchorage), ETA/ETD window, service category (pilotage, towage, bunkering, survey, etc.), quantity / scope, and an optional budget range.

• Auto-saved drafts — finish on desktop, send from mobile
• Smart matching to vendors by port, category, fleet capacity & rating
• Premium leads are tagged automatically based on vessel profile and order value

The moment a request goes live, matched vendors get a push notification and email. Each vendor sees the full request, can chat with the consumer, and submits a quote.

• Branded PDF quotes — upload your own or build one in-app
• Negotiation thread per quote — counter, accept, or decline cleanly
• Real-time SLA — most quotes arrive in under 30 minutes

Consumer compares quotes side-by-side and approves the right one. PORTDA generates a purchase order and unlocks the payment options.

• Online payment via SWIFT or as applicable by location
• Payments are made as per the agreed terms in the negotiation

The vendor delivers and updates the job status in real time. Both parties see the same status, photos and signed documents.

• Live job tracking — no more "where's my pilot" calls
• Auto-generated job report & final invoice on completion
• Payment as per the agreed negotiations
• Consumer rates vendor — reputation flows back into the marketplace
