Install it on one computer
That machine becomes the business’s server. Every record is stored there, backed up however you already back up that computer, and readable by you without us.
PortalPoint Desktop
Run the whole business from software that lives in your office.
Service desk, billing, sales, inventory, point of sale, SOPs and a real mailbox, installed on a computer you own. Every record stays on that machine. Licence the modules you need once, and they are yours.
- No cloud account, no monthly fee
- Works offline
- Three businesses included
How it works
One install, one licence, your data where you can see it.
PortalPoint Desktop is a local-first application. There is no PortalPoint server holding your customers, invoices or files; the only thing that ever talks to us is the licence check.
Open it from the others
Other computers in the shop find it on the local network and share the same records. Away from the shop, a VPN gets you to it the same way.
A signed key switches modules on
The licence is a signed key that names your modules, seats and businesses. The app checks in with PortalPoint to count installs and pick up renewals, and keeps working if it cannot reach us.
Connectors keep other systems in step
QuickBooks stays your books, RepairShopr stays your tickets, Microsoft 365 stays your mail. Connector plugins keep PortalPoint and them agreeing.
Updates come from this site
The app checks portalpointsolutions.com for new builds and updates itself. Updates are never withheld from a lapsed licence: a fix is a fix.
Add a module from inside the app
Outgrow the licence and the app’s own shop prices the module for your seat count, takes payment, and writes it into your key. Nothing to reinstall.
What a licence covers
Pay once per module. Own it outright.
A module is bought once: a base price, plus a per-seat price for the modules where a seat means something. From then on it is written into your licence for good. There is no subscription and nothing to renew.
- Address Book is always included. Customers, contacts and sites, the record every other module points at.
- Seats are people, not machines. Install on as many computers as the business has; the licence counts who is working.
- Three businesses included. Run separate books for each. Extra businesses are an add-on.
- Connectors are plugins. They link to a service you already subscribe to and never replace it.
- Lose the email, keep the licence. Recover a key from any browser with the address it was sold to.
Modules and add-ons
Fourteen modules. Take the ones your business runs on.
Each module owns one part of the business and hands off to the others, so a won deal becomes a project, a closed ticket becomes an invoice, and nothing is typed twice.
Included
Every licence carries this. Everything else points at it.
Address Book
IncludedCustomers, contacts and sites. Every other module points at these.

Questions
The things people ask before they install it.
Does any of my data go to PortalPoint?
No. Records, files and mail stay on the computer you installed on. The application contacts us for two things: to verify the licence key and count installs, and to check for updates. Neither carries business data.
What happens if I stop paying? There is nothing to stop.
A module you bought is yours. If a licence carries an expiry it is because it was issued that way by arrangement; the standard licence sold on this site has none. Updates keep arriving either way.
Can I add a module later?
Yes, from inside the application. The built-in shop prices the module for your current seat count, takes payment, and the new key is applied on the spot.
Does it replace QuickBooks?
No, and it is not trying to. Billing in PortalPoint produces invoices and tracks receivables; the QuickBooks Connector keeps those in step with QuickBooks Online, which stays the record of account.
What does it run on?
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, on an ordinary office PC. Other machines in the business open it over the local network. A phone client for the same records is in the works.
Who supports it?
We do, directly. PortalPoint Desktop is built and supported by the same engineer who does our consulting work, which is why the two are on one site.
