How It Works

One data set. Maintained once. Trusted by every buyer.

nFACT runs on a federated model. Service providers maintain their own compliance records in a single profile. nFACT collects and organizes those records. Buyers search one source of truth instead of managing hundreds of vendor portals. The mechanics, in plain English.

The Federated Model

Why providers maintain their own data.

Traditional vendor management puts the compliance burden on the buyer. You collect COIs, you track expirations, you chase renewals. Federated flips it. The provider maintains the data because the provider already has it. nFACT collects, organizes, and displays it — so every buyer sees the same consolidated view without doing the data-gathering work themselves.

Provider owns the record

The company closest to the data maintains the data. Insurance policies, license renewals, safety updates — all source-of-truth from the provider.

nFACT collects and organizes

Our team confirms required documents are uploaded and displayed consistently. SP Verified and nFACT Certified tiers signal profile completeness, not a warranty of the underlying content.

Every buyer sees the same data

One maintained profile appears to every buyer on nFACT. No duplicate uploads. No stale copies floating in inboxes. Buyers do their own due diligence on any sub they link.

The Four Steps

From profile to project, start to finish.

01

Provider lists

Service provider creates or claims their profile, uploads compliance records, sets service cities and trade categories.

02

nFACT organizes

Our team confirms required documents are uploaded and present. Providers are assigned SP Verified or nFACT Certified status based on the completeness of their profile and documents on file.

03

Buyer searches

Systems integrator, security firm, or GC searches by trade, city, certification, and verification tier. Gets a ranked list.

04

Buyer links and manages

Buyer links the provider into their private network. Scorecards, performance management, and facility assignments follow.

The real product, not a marketing mockup.

The nFACT platform is live and used every day by systems integrators, security firms, and the service providers they work with.

The Technology

Built for the actual workflows of integrators and GCs.

Private Network

Your subcontractor relationships stay yours. Never shared, never visible to competitors.

Document separation

Public compliance documents and private project documents live in separate, appropriately-scoped libraries.

Performance management

Built-in scorecard templates for project and service performance, plus custom scorecards for your own KPIs.

Facility and contact data

Associate sites, contacts, and as-built drawings with each provider relationship for multi-site portfolios.

Automatic expiration tracking

Every compliance document has an expiration date. We track it so you don't have to.

Category-specific fields

Each of the 21 trade categories has its own vetting criteria, compliance fields, and relevant certifications.
