Subcontractor Management Software
Expiry tracking should happen before the site date
Subcontractor documents often expire quietly in the background. If insurance, accreditation, certificates or RAMS are checked only when work is due to start, the project team may have to chase evidence under pressure.
A good tracker shows what is valid, what is missing and what needs renewal soon.
Documents to monitor
- Insurance certificates and policy expiry dates.
- SSIP, CHAS, ISO or trade accreditation evidence.
- Training certificates and role-specific competency evidence.
- Project RAMS, COSHH assessments and permit requirements.
- Site induction completion and briefing records.
- Approval status, reviewer comments and outstanding actions.
Make the owner clear
Each missing or expiring item should have an owner and due date. Without ownership, the tracker becomes another spreadsheet that needs manual chasing.
How Zektrx helps
Zektrx helps contractors manage subcontractor evidence, expiry dates, approval routes and renewal actions so teams can spot compliance gaps before work starts.
