Subcontractor management is broken at every scale.

Whether you run 25 subs or 3,000, the same playbook breaks down: chasing COIs, managing vendor portals, tracking expirations, and trying to find out what a sub is even capable of. Most of the information you need isn't stale — it doesn't exist anywhere you can reach.

!

Stale compliance data

COIs expire. Licenses lapse. Safety records age out. With 25 subs, you're chasing 2 renewals a month. With 300 subs, it's 25 a month — basically a full-time job just to keep the data current.

!

The data isn't online at all

Most sub information doesn't live on any website. Their experience, certifications, crew size, and track record are trapped in phone calls. You have to find them, call them, and ask — one by one. Old school, exhausting, and impossible at scale.

!

Fragmented tooling

One platform for vetting, another for performance, a third for documents. Spreadsheets fill in the gaps. Nobody has the full picture.

Discovery is manual

Need a fire alarm sub in Phoenix by next Tuesday? You're cold-calling, asking for references, and praying somebody picks up.

Your subcontractor relationships stay yours.

Your Private Network is where you manage every service provider you work with. The good news: your existing subs are almost certainly already in the nFACT database of 24,350+ providers. You just link to them and start managing them from one place.

Linked providers never become visible to your competitors. The relationships, the pricing, the performance history — all private to your account.

You can build the software. You can't build the marketplace.

Every large integrator eventually tries to build this internally. The dashboards are achievable. The workflows are achievable. The network effect is not. That's what makes nFACT structural, not just convenient.

The structural reason
No single integrator, no matter how large, can match the number of logins and active service providers a shared marketplace generates.

nFACT is the central spoke that thousands of service providers already use to keep their data current for every buyer they work with. Every one of our integrator customers benefits from that shared gravity. It's a multiplier effect that no in-house build can duplicate, because the value comes from being the platform subs choose to maintain their records on — and subs only maintain them on platforms where many buyers are already looking.

Even if the network effect wasn't the issue

The build path is harder than it looks on paper.

The spreadsheet trap

Excel doesn't expire COIs.

Compliance records live in provider systems, not yours. Every time your sub's insurance renews, your spreadsheet is wrong until someone manually updates it. Multiply by a thousand subs.

The internal-build problem

You're not a software company.

Custom Salesforce objects, SharePoint file libraries, and Power Automate flows get you 60% of the way. The other 40% is where it breaks. Every integrator we talk to has a half-finished internal build and a compliance rate they don't love.

The FTE math

Three to five compliance FTEs.

That's what typical multi-site integrators staff for manual compliance management. Fully loaded, that's $400K+ per year to maintain data that the providers themselves could keep current at zero cost on the right platform.

Put it together: you can't match the provider network, you can't get subs to maintain their own records for only you, and even if you could, the math doesn't work. The federated marketplace model exists because nothing else makes sense at scale.
