The Challenges Construction Teams Face Every Day

Teams depend on small and certified subcontractor sourcing and compliance to win work — yet most still rely on manual, inconsistent processes that slow projects, increase risk, and weaken bids.

01

Sourcing Certified Subcontractors

Most teams rely on outdated subcontractor lists with inactive contacts and unverified qualifications. Finding qualified small and certified subs becomes guesswork instead of strategy.

Impact:
Slower bids. Fewer qualified subs. Weaker competitiveness.

02

Outreach &
Engagement

Small and certified subs are hard to identify, and outreach is fragmented across teams, tools, and inboxes — with no consistent process for tracking who was contacted, and if they responded.

Impact:
Lower participation. Missed goals. Poor documentation.

03

Tracking, Reporting & Compliance

Outreach and compliance live across inboxes and spreadsheets — with no centralized reporting trail as certifications expire, documentation gaps grow, and requirements shift.

Impact:
Payment delays. Resubmissions. Increased compliance risk.
