Every subcontractor, every site, compliant
Onboard your subcontractors, verify their insurance, RAMS and accreditations against the job, and keep a live compliance score for each — organised by site and project. One view of a compliant supply chain, from a principal contractor's seat.
On a live site, paperwork moves faster than you can chase it
A principal contractor can have dozens of subcontractors across several sites, each with their own insurance renewal, RAMS and accreditations, all expiring on different dates. Chasing that by email and holding it in spreadsheets does not scale — and the exposure is real: an uninsured subcontractor on your site, or a missing RAMS when the client or the HSE asks, is your problem, not theirs. Subcontractor management software gives you one place where every subcontractor's compliance is verified, monitored and organised by the site and project they are working on.
Organised by site & project
See every subcontractor on every site and project, and whether each is compliant, in one view — so you know your exposure package by package, not buried in a shared drive.
Onboard before they start
Request the exact documents a package needs; the subcontractor uploads from a single link with no account. The full flow is contractor onboarding software, built in.
Verified against the job
Complys reads each document against the package — RAMS for the right trade and scope, cover at your minimum, certificates in date — and returns a verdict, so presence is never mistaken for fitness.
Live scores & expiry tracking
A live compliance score for every subcontractor, with insurance, accreditations and qualifications watched for expiry, so a lapse is caught before work carries on without cover.
CDM & client evidence
Every onboarding, document and approval is time-stamped and kept, so you can prove a compliant supply chain for CDM duties, client pre-start checks and audits — for any project, at any date.
RAMS at the source
For higher-risk packages, subcontractors can build a site-specific RAMS as they onboard, so the documents you receive are fit for the work from the outset.
Part of your whole construction compliance picture
Managing subcontractors is one piece of running a compliant construction business. It sits alongside your own RAMS, COSHH, training and certificates in construction compliance software, and shares the document verification behind contractor compliance software. Whether you think of it as managing your supply chain or proving it, it is the same live record — organised the way a principal contractor actually works: by site and by project. Complys organises and evidences compliance; the accreditations and approvals themselves stay with the schemes and clients.
Subcontractor management software — FAQs
What is subcontractor management software?
It is software that helps a principal contractor manage every subcontractor working across their sites and projects — onboarding them, verifying their insurance, RAMS, accreditations and qualifications, and keeping a live compliance score for each company. Instead of a folder of documents per subcontractor, you get one organised view of who is on which site and whether they are clear to work.
How is it different from contractor management software?
Subcontractor management is the construction, project-and-site view: subcontractors organised by the sites and packages of work they are on, which matters when you are running live projects and answering to a client and CDM. Contractor management is the broader base of trades you work with across any sector. They share an engine; this page is the site-and-project view for principal contractors.
Can I see compliance per site and per project?
Yes. You can see which subcontractors are on each site and project and whether each is compliant, with due-soon and expired documents surfaced automatically — so a lapse on one project never hides behind another, and you always know your exposure site by site.
Does it verify subcontractor documents, not just collect them?
Yes. Complys reads each document against the package of work — is the RAMS for this trade and scope, does the insurance meet your minimum cover, are the accreditations and qualifications in date — and returns a verdict per document, so presence is never mistaken for fitness. This is the same verification behind contractor compliance software.
Does it help with CDM and client evidence?
Yes. Every onboarding, document, verification and approval is time-stamped and kept, so you can evidence a compliant supply chain for CDM duties, client pre-start requirements and audits — showing exactly which subcontractors were compliant on which project at any date.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 90 days free, no card required, so nothing is charged automatically. Onboarding reviews are metered by credit, so you pay for the checks you run. You can set up your first project and start onboarding subcontractors straight away.
