Subcontractor Compliance Gaps
General contractors struggle to manually track subcontractor insurance, licenses, certifications, and compliance documents, risking expired credentials, blocked payments, and audit failures.
In their words
Looking for a reliable, US-compliant dispatch platform for 100+ roofing subcontractors (no coding/self-hosting). Per-user pricing ($30-$50/mo) is a dealbreaker.
I'm just looking for tracking insurance certs, W-9s, contracts, and payment status per sub.
If you only have 20 or less subcontractors then you can handle 90% of your compliance with just a spreadsheet + calendar notifications.
Chasing down subcontractors for updated insurance certificates every few months. They expire at different times, half of them ignore emails, and I end up with a folder of PDFs where half are outdated.
they want me to send over contracts, invoices and proof of business relationship for each contractor
made me realise how much i rely on the same 2-3 subs for everything. when one falls through im completely screwed
You end up either walking them through everything step by step or just jumping in and doing it yourself.
No real procurement function either, so our subcontractor pool is getting smaller/burnt out and we're not getting economies of scale with any one supplier across our contracts
Seems that they won't approve sub materials unless they get all this pricing out.
I received a couple of checks recently that did not clear the bank and was told they "had an issue on their end" and would be correcting the issue.
I have no visibility into what's happening on site unless I'm there or I call someone.
I use a software that tracks expiration dates for COIs and holds the docs on file.

Where they talk
- r/GeneralContractor
- r/Construction
- r/ConstructionManagers
- r/Contractor
- r/govcon
- r/SafetyProfessionals
- r/estimators
- r/Businessowners
Tools they use today
- Excel
- Procore
- ISNetworld
- Avetta
- Google Sheets
- SharePoint
- ACME
Why those fall short
- Bank already has transaction records but still demands per-contractor proof
- fees are expensive and hit-or-miss for irregular small jobs
- contractors lack skills, high turnover, drown internal resources
- read-only access blocks downloads into takeoff software; VDI installs fail for subs and suppliers
- no data on revenue timelines or flowdown tracking
