CALLING, HUDDLES & MEETINGS

Stop paying Zoom. Call, huddle, and schedule from PortaPro.

1:1 calls, channel huddles, and scheduled video meetings — with unique links, calendar sync, and guest join — all in one place, all without leaving the app you already work in.

THREE MODES, DELIBERATELY DISTINCT

Call, huddle, or schedule — from the app you already run the business in.

Built around how field-service teams actually communicate — fast, focused, and tied to the work.

Direct call (1:1)

Tap the phone icon on any teammate's DM — they get an iPhone-style incoming-call ring with accept, decline, or “reply with a message.”

  • Quick-reply templates: I'm driving / On a job / Call back in 5
  • Audio-first by default — no awkward “video call with the camera off” feel
  • One tap upgrades to video mid-call, FaceTime-style

Channel huddle (team)

Start a huddle in any team channel — invite specific teammates or open it up to everyone in the channel.

  • Tile grid shows every participant — switch to speaker view to spotlight the talker
  • Floating banner at the top of the channel — anyone can join with one click
  • Lives inside the channel where the work happens — no calendar invite required

Scheduled meeting

Book a video meeting from any channel or the Meetings dashboard — pick a time, invite whoever needs to be there, share the link by email, SMS, or thread.

  • Unique, non-guessable link per meeting — dead the moment you cancel
  • One-click add to Google, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Yahoo, or Apple Calendar
  • External guests join from a branded lobby — no PortaPro account, no download

EVERYTHING ZOOM DOES, BUILT IN

Twelve features you'd expect. Zero context switching.

From sharing a screen to surviving a weak signal — every feature designed for the way operators actually run meetings.

  • Screen share: Tab, window, or full screen. Pick exactly what the room sees, nothing they shouldn't.

  • Pause screen share: Pause mid-stream without dropping the session — a capability only Zoom and PortaPro offer. Answer a question, then resume right where you left off.

  • Cloud recording: Admin and dispatcher-controlled with explicit consent broadcast to every participant before recording starts. The recording link auto-posts to the channel when done.

IN THE WILD

Built for how operators actually work.

Dispatcher calls a driver in the field

Field of view stays on the job pin while they talk. No tab-switching, no copy-pasting addresses into Zoom.

Monday-morning team huddle

Screen-share the route plan, pause to answer a question, resume — without losing the share or restarting the session.

Venue tour with a prospect

Text the customer a unique meeting link. They land on a branded lobby, preview their camera, and join — no Zoom account, no download, no friction.

Calls, Huddles & Meetings, answered

Everything operators ask before they cancel Zoom.
