In today’s construction environment, companies face growing pressure to meet small and diverse spending goals to ensure compliance with Federal, State, and Local regulations. For Prime Contractors, this means accurately tracking and reporting spending with certified small, local, and diverse firms. However, the process of managing these requirements is often complex and time-consuming, with data scattered across multiple systems and sources.
Tough Leaf ClearSpend was built to solve this challenge. It is a comprehensive financial reporting solution designed to help companies streamline compliance management, monitor diverse spending, and provide concrete evidence of their commitment to participation goals. Tough Leaf ClearSpend not only simplifies tracking and reporting but also equips businesses with the tools they need to build a comprehensive small and diverse procurement program.
With Tough Leaf ClearSpend, Prime Contractors get a centralized platform that simplifies how they view and report on their small, local, and diverse firm spending at both the company and project levels. Tracking spending with certified small, local, and diverse firms is about more than meeting legal requirements—it’s about showcasing your verified spending track record as well as your commitment to participation requirements, which will lead to winning more work.
Imagine a world where you no longer have to pull data from multiple systems, manually calculate utilization rates, or worry about audit readiness. Tough Leaf ClearSpend makes this possible by bringing your subcontractor compliance data into one easy-to-use platform.
Unlike existing solutions that rely on vendors to manually upload their certifications to be recognized as small or diverse by each prime contractor they work with, Tough Leaf ClearSpend is backed by its powerful platform, the country's most comprehensive data sources of certified small, local, and diverse businesses. Here’s how Tough Leaf ClearSpend sets itself apart:
Insightful Executive Dashboards: Leverage customizable dashboards that provide key insights about your company-wide small and diverse firm spending actuals and projections.
The benefits of Tough Leaf ClearSpend are already being realized by leading contractors. For example, an ENR Top 10 General Contractor initially estimated that it spent $350 million with certified small, local, and diverse subcontractors. After implementing Tough Leaf ClearSpend, they discovered the true figure was closer to $1.4 billion. This level of transparency not only boosted their compliance efforts but also reinforced their reputation as a leader in small and diverse firm contract awards.
