Features

From chasing paperwork to paying the right subs.

Everything a small builder's office needs to keep subs insured and jobs lien-free, without a compliance department.

Sub upload portal

No logins. No app. Just a link.

Every sub gets a private link that opens a page showing only what you need from them. They upload a PDF or snap a photo, add the expiry date, and they are done.

  • Private link per subOpens straight to their own request list, nothing else.
  • Phone-firstUpload a PDF or take a photo from any phone browser.
  • Shows what is missingEach document is marked on file, expiring, expired or missing.
  • Replace the link any timeThe old link stops working the moment you rotate it.
