Stronger Bids. Lower Risk. Clearer Reporting.

With Tough Leaf, your team brings sourcing, outreach, compliance, and reporting into one consistent workflow — giving you flexibility to self-manage or lean on managed support as needed, while building stronger bids, reducing risk during construction, and delivering answers stakeholders can trust.

Sourcing + Outreach, Standardized

Find and engage qualified small and certified subcontractors faster — with a workflow you can manage yourself, or with support from our team when bandwidth is tight.

Compliance, Stabilized.

Stabilize compliance from award through closeout — with contractor onboarding locked early, documentation managed continuously, and reporting that stays predictable instead of reactive.

Reporting That Holds Up

Get visibility into certified spend and participation progress with reporting that’s accurate, defensible, and easy to stand behind when stakeholders need answers.

Win More Work — And Reduce Risk After Award

From pre-construction sourcing and outreach to operationalized compliance during construction and certified spend reporting at closeout, Tough Leaf gives GC teams a single workflow — so participation is managed, documentation stays stable, and reporting holds up when it matters.

Pre-construction: Build a stronger bidder pool, faster

Tough Leaf helps GCs find and engage qualified small and certified subcontractors faster — with flexible options to self-manage in ClearSource or lean on our ManagedOutreach team — so bids go out with better coverage and less manual work.

Construction: Compliance that's structured.

Compliance gaps that start small become costly fast. ClearComply structures contractor onboarding, documentation workflows, and reporting cadence so your team stays ahead of requirements — not reacting to them.

Visibility: Know certified spend across projects

Most contractors don’t have a clear view of true certified spend until reporting is due. Tough Leaf gives teams accurate spend visibility, utilization tracking, and reporting that supports smarter decisions and stronger compliance outcomes.
