Portman App Use

How do I sign up for the Portman App?

You cannot directly sign up for the Portman App. The Portman is for our Partners and will need to be invited by a Portman Sales Manager who will provide you with a login email address.

I forgot my Portman App password, what should I do?

If you remember the email address associated with your Portman account, simply select ‘Forgot Password’ on the login screen. Follow the instructions to reset your password and regain access to the app.

Can’t remember your email address?

If you’ve forgotten the email address linked to your Portman account, reach out to your dedicated Sales or Account Manager. They can assist you in resetting your password and getting you back on track.

How do I estimate my customer’s monthly payments?

From the Portman Dashboard, use the Finance Calculator. Enter your customer’s borrowing amount, loan term, and deposit amount. Click “Calculate” to see an estimated monthly payment plan.

How do I submit an enquiry for my customer using the App?

Once you have a financing estimate, you can click “Enquire Now” to connect your customer with Portman for personalised assistance. We’ll handle the rest and contact the customer, based of their financial estimate needs

Can I see past enquiries and calculations I’ve made in the Portman App?

Yes. The Enquiry History section of the app allows you to view all your past enquiries and calculations.  You can filter and search by company name or date, and expand entries for more details.

Can I make an enquiry from a previous calculation? How does this work?

When you select a previous calculation, you can choose to initiate a new enquiry based on that information. This saves time by pre-populating some of the enquiry form with details from the existing calculation. Go to Enquiry History > Select your Calculation > Enquire Now. You’ll simply need to fill out the customer contact details and Portman will be in touch.

Can I send quotes directly to my customers through the Portman App?

Not yet, but the functionality is on the way! The Portman App is currently under development to allow you to download a PDF copy of your calculations and enquiries. This will make it easier for you to share this information with your customers as quotes.

In the meantime, here’s a workaround:

  • Access your enquiry history through the app.
  • Locate the relevant calculation or enquiry for your customer.
  • Use your device’s built-in screenshot function to capture the screen.

We understand this isn’t ideal, and we appreciate your patience as we continue to improve the Portman App!

If you have any questions about the Portman App that are not answered in these FAQs, you can reach out to your dedicated Portman Sales Manager for further assistance. You can find this in the App if you have access by selecting the ‘Contact Portman’ option from the Dashboard.
