Comparison
A Pandell alternative for service companies
Pandell builds software for upstream and midstream operators: land management and GIS, AFE approvals, joint venture accounting, accounts payable and a vendor invoice portal. It is not built for the roustabout, hot shot or rental company working for those operators. Stratorra is built for exactly that contractor: field tickets, crew time, invoicing posted to QuickBooks Online, rentals, and the safety records operators audit. If you are a contractor who landed here searching for a Pandell alternative, the honest answer is that Pandell serves the other side of your ticket; Stratorra serves yours.

Questions
Common questions
Does Stratorra do land or JV accounting?
No. Those are operator functions. Stratorra is for the contractor side.
My operator uses Pandell's vendor portal. Does Stratorra work with that?
Stratorra doesn't submit to operator portals directly. It produces the invoice with the signed ticket as backup, and an OpenInvoice-ready export, so uploading to an operator's portal is quick.
