Subcontractor Management

Subcontractor visibility continues after orientation.

Contractor management software for construction that keeps subcontractor compliance visible from QR onboarding through daily field work.

A sub arrives at a new site, scans the gate QR code, and completes orientation on their phone. The profile that activates is theirs — certs, training, and every form they will sign, carried from jobsite to jobsite. No IT department. No app download training session. The sub keeps their record. You keep the visibility.

  • Minutes · Sub onboarding in minutes, not monthsDefine requirements, post a QR at the gate, and every trade connects instantly — no rollout plan, no IT project, no training sessions.
  • Every day · Visibility beyond orientationDaily form completion, training compliance, and cert status across every project — closing the gap where most sub-related incidents occur.

For most GCs, subtrade safety is a black hole after orientation. SALUS keeps every trade visible — daily forms, training, certs, and corrective actions.

Give every sub one simple way in.

QR-code onboarding

Scan, tap, go. The sub is in the system.

The adoption problem is real. Most contractor management systems stall right there — at the login screen. With SALUS, a sub scans the gate QR code and they're in — signed up the way they sign up for anything else. No rollout project.

Scan

The gate QR opens this site's orientation — no app store, no download.

Tap

Sign up like social media — no mobile password required.

Go

The profile goes active — linked to certs, training, and every form they'll sign.

One scan gets them in.

Sub self-service

Their record. Their hands.

GC supervisors shouldn't spend the morning punching holes in sub paperwork or chasing PDFs. Meanwhile, subs own their own record: certs, orientations, training, forms, certificates of insurance, and project history across jobsites. That's the half other platforms skip: the record belongs to the worker.

The profile travels. The paperwork does not.

The portable profile

Orient once. Recognized everywhere.

One orientation per general contractor — not one per project. When a sub finishes orientation for a GC, their profile is recognized on every one of that GC's SALUS projects, and on any other GC that operates SALUS: certs, training, and signed records arrive before the boots do.

One profile. Every project. The worker carries the proof.

The connected record

Every trade worker is connected to the work they sign for.

Other platforms log an orientation date. SALUS connects the worker to their certs, their training, and every daily form they sign — then connects the worker to the contractor company, the company to the project, and the project to the portfolio. That is the difference between onboarding and knowing.

Daily form monitoring

Beyond orientation.
Into performance.

One electrical sub shows 100% orientation rate, but 40% daily hazard assessment completion. The meeting with that foreman happens before the incident does. Track corrective actions, certs, or permits at the trade worker level.

A 100% orientation rate can hide a 40% jobsite.

Rosie watches for drift

Rosie flags the drift before it becomes exposure.

A portfolio of sub data can bury a safety team. Rosie, the AI Admin & Risk Assistant, watches it continuously: which subs are missing daily forms, which trades have overdue corrective actions, which companies go non-compliant in 30 days when a certificate lapses.

Rosie's subcontractor compliance screen — a 74% overall score, a where-to-focus list of high-risk activities, fit-for-work checks, and expiring certifications, and a compliance breakdown by category

High-risk activities

Flagged tasks requiring permits — surfaced first.

Legal · fit for work

Declaration and injury-confirmation status, checked daily.

Certifications expiring

Who goes non-compliant in 30 days — before they do.

Trends, not noise

A compliance score that says where to look, not just what happened.

You manage exceptions. Not paperwork.

Business impact

Less sub admin. More operational control.

GCs and safety teams get a clearer view of subcontractor readiness, participation, and follow-through without building another manual tracker.

Close the visibility gap

Continuous monitoring beyond orientation — where most sub-related incidents occur.

Lower supervisor overhead

Digital sub submissions cut paper collection, binder filing, and document chasing from the supervisor's day.

Readiness

Profiles show who is ready before work starts.

FAQ

Contractor & subcontractor management FAQ: contractor profiles, prequalification, and whether subs are compliant, drifting, or creating risk.

What is contractor management software for construction?
Contractor management software helps general contractors onboard subcontractor companies and workers, track certifications and training, deliver site orientations, and monitor compliance across jobsites. Construction-focused software like SALUS adds QR onboarding, portable worker profiles, daily form visibility, and contractor profiles tied to the live field record.
What does contractor compliance software track?
Contractor compliance software typically tracks company documents, COI, certificates of insurance, worker credentials, orientations, training, daily forms, corrective actions, and readiness status. SALUS connects those records to workers, contractor companies, projects, and Trust Portal proof.
How do GCs collect COIs and certificates of insurance from subcontractors?
Traditionally, COIs and certificates of insurance are collected by email, project by project. SALUS lets subs keep documents connected to their profile, update them when needed, and share digital proof with the GC without rebuilding the same packet for every site.
Do subcontractor workers need to download an app?
No. A sub scans the site QR code and starts the required workflow without app-download training, account setup, or IT involvement. The scan can open orientation, required forms, certifications, and profile steps from the worker's phone.
What happens when a subcontractor moves to a new project or GC?
The worker profile travels with the person. Certs, training, signed records, orientations, and project history can stay connected across jobsites, reducing duplicate entry and helping the next site see readiness before work starts.
What can a GC see after subcontractor onboarding?
A GC can see daily hazard assessment completion, form participation, training compliance, cert status, high-risk activities, and corrective action follow-through by worker, subcontractor company, project, and portfolio.
How long does subcontractor rollout take?
Rollout can start with a QR code or link instead of a long software rollout. Define the site requirements, share the gate workflow, and subcontractor workers can enter the system as they arrive.
What is subcontractor prequalification?
Subcontractor prequalification is how GCs and owners review a trade partner before award: insurance coverage, safety history, certifications, program documentation, and performance proof. SALUS supports the live safety record that can feed Trust Portal proof for those questions.
How is SALUS different from a subcontractor spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet lists companies and documents. SALUS connects workers, contractor profiles, orientations, certs, training, forms, corrective actions, participation, and proof across jobsites.
What should we bring to a subcontractor management demo?
Bring a sub onboarding packet, COI tracker, worker roster, prequalification checklist, or daily compliance spreadsheet. SALUS can map both the day-one entry and the visibility that should continue afterward.
Does SALUS replace contractor prequalification networks?
No. Buyer-mandated contractor prequalification networks may still be required. SALUS keeps the live construction safety record that helps answer prequalification, readiness, certificates of insurance, and performance questions faster.
