HOW IT WORKS

From search to site-ready
in three steps

01🔍

Search & Filter

Find subcontractors by trade, province, verification status, and compliance score. No more cold-calling or word-of-mouth guessing.

02📋

Review Compliance

Open any sub's Compliance Passport to see all 13 documents, their status, expiry dates, and verification badges — instantly.

03🏗️

Hire & Track

Create projects, invite subs, download full compliance packs, and get alerts when documents expire — all from one dashboard.

CORE FEATURE

The Compliance Passport

A single, living document vault for every subcontractor. Upload once, stay compliant forever. Contractors can verify and download everything without a single phone call.

📂

13 document types in one vault

CIDB, COID, Tax Clearance, BEE, Public Liability, Professional Indemnity, Safety File, and more — all organized by category.

Never miss an expiry again

Automatic tracking across every document. Get email alerts 30 days before anything expires. Status updates happen without you lifting a finger.

📊

Know who's site-ready at a glance

Every subcontractor gets a compliance score. Complete, Standard, Basic, or Incomplete — so you can make decisions in seconds, not hours.

Human-verified for trust

Documents aren't just uploaded — our admin team reviews and verifies them. Verified subs earn a badge that tells contractors: this one's legit.
