Questions

Good to know

Everything contractors ask us most — about working offline, e-Invoice, the worker module, compliance, your data and pricing.

Does it really work without internet?

Yes. Every core task — creating quotes and invoices, recording payments, snapping site photos — works fully offline. The moment your phone reconnects, MORTAR syncs everything safely in the background. You'll always see whether an item is saved (✓) or waiting to sync (⟳).

Is this connected to LHDN e-Invoice?

e-Invoice (MyInvois) support is on our roadmap and will arrive in a Pro update. During the current phase, MORTAR produces standard invoices; we'll never claim a live LHDN submission until the integration is officially live.

Is the worker module a payroll system?

No. Attendance and wage figures are estimates to help you cost a job — they are not statutory payroll. MORTAR does not calculate or submit EPF/SOCSO. Use a licensed payroll provider for statutory obligations.

Does the CIDB feature verify my registration?

It's a document box with expiry reminders — a place to store your green card, permits and certs so nothing lapses. It does not connect to any official CIDB API and does not verify or certify your status.

Where is my data stored?

On secure cloud infrastructure hosted in Singapore (ap-southeast-1), chosen for proximity and PDPA alignment. Your costs and margins are private — the client portal is read-only and deliberately hides all cost, margin and worker information.

What does it cost to start?

Nothing. The Free plan needs no card and covers small jobs. Upgrade to Pro (RM49/month) only when the volume of work makes it worth it.

Can my supervisor and staff use the same app?

Yes — and they don't even need an email. Open the Crew tab, tap Add person (or Add several for a whole team), enter their name and phone and pick a role (admin, supervisor or staff). MORTAR creates a password; share the company code, phone and password over WhatsApp. They tap "Staff" on the login screen and they're in. Everyone you add also shows up for attendance, and supervisors and staff never see your costs or margins — only owners and admins do.
