Heavy industry is experiencing a shift.

Employees account for 58% of your workforce spend. It’s time to pay attention to the other 42%.

Sounds familiar?

“I’ve done my best to secure decent contracts, but I know contractors are not complying, especially not at the individual worker level. Tracking at that level is not possible.”

“How can I win a dispute when it’s their word against mine, and I didn’t actually see what happened?”

“Budget overruns happen. It’s not my fault if everyone else isn’t doing what they’re supposed to.”

“I understand it’s not always intended, but I know our gate activity and reporting are off. It’s costing us money and compromising worker safety, but it’s all part and parcel of the project.”

Your contractor management process is leaking. We fix it.

ERPs and procurement systems have a devastating deficiency that leaks service vendor value: how the execution of work is measured. We do not replace your ERP, we augment it.
