Your whole contractor base, in order
Find and vet trades, onboard them, keep their documents current, and always know who is approved to work — managed in one place across the full lifecycle, from first contact to ongoing oversight.
A contractor base scattered across inboxes
Most businesses build their list of trusted trades by accident — a name from a colleague, a number in a phone, a folder of old certificates. There is no single place that says who your approved contractors are, whether their paperwork is current, or who to call for a given trade in a given area. When you need a compliant contractor quickly, you are back to asking around. Contractor management software gives you one organised base: who they are, what they can do, and whether they are clear to work — right now.
Find
Search verified contractors by trade, location and accreditation across a wide set of filters, so you can source the right trade for the job from real, current information.
Vet
See a live compliance score for a contractor before you approve them, so vetting starts from evidence — insurance, accreditations and qualifications — not just a recommendation.
Onboard
Bring a new contractor on with a single-link document request and AI verification — the full flow lives in contractor onboarding software, built into the same base.
Manage
Keep an approved-contractor list with every trade, coverage area and document in one place, so you always know who you work with and what they can do.
Monitor
Compliance is watched continuously — insurance, accreditations and qualifications tracked for expiry — so your approved list reflects who is genuinely clear to work today.
Prove
Every approval, document and check is time-stamped and kept, so you can evidence how your supply chain was managed for a client, an audit or a dispute.
Management and compliance, working together
Managing your contractor base and proving it is compliant are two sides of the same job. Contractor management keeps the relationship organised — who they are, how you found them, what they are approved for. Contractor compliance software keeps their documents valid and in date, and for higher-risk work contractors can build a site-specific RAMS at the same time. Property teams manage the whole property side alongside it with property compliance software. One base, one source of truth.
Contractor management software — FAQs
What is contractor management software?
Contractor management software helps you run your whole base of contractors and subcontractors in one place — finding and vetting them, bringing them on board, keeping their compliance current, and knowing at any moment who is approved to work. It is broader than compliance checking alone: it manages the relationship across its whole life, not just the documents.
How is this different from contractor compliance software?
Think of it as management versus proof. Contractor management is about running the base — who your contractors are, how you find and approve them, and keeping the relationship organised. Contractor compliance is specifically about their documents being valid, in date and fit for the job. Complys does both; this page is the management view, and it links to contractor compliance software for the document side.
Can I find and vet new contractors through Complys?
Yes. You can search verified contractors by trade, location and accreditation across a wide set of filters, and see a live compliance score for each before you approve them — so vetting a new supplier starts from real, current information rather than a name someone passed you.
Does it keep an approved-contractor list?
Yes. You can maintain a list of contractors approved to work for you, with their compliance monitored continuously, so the list always reflects who is genuinely clear to work rather than who was clear whenever it was last checked by hand.
Who is contractor management software for?
Principal contractors managing subcontractors across sites, facilities and maintenance firms running a supply chain of trades, and property and letting agents managing the contractors they instruct across a portfolio — anyone who works with the same trades repeatedly and needs to keep the whole base organised and compliant.
