Built for the QS teams who have to
process payment applications every day
ContractorApplications was designed with the quantity surveyors and commercial managers who have lived the reality of processing applications from their inbox, maintaining certification spreadsheets that colleagues don't trust, and discovering a missed pay-less notice deadline only after it is too late.
Structured by design
Every feature is built around the actual commercial workflow of managing a subcontract - application submission, assessment, certification, retention and variations - not adapted from a generic document management platform.
Subcontractor-inclusive
The subcontractor portal gives your supply chain a genuinely useful tool for submitting and tracking their own applications - not just a place to send PDFs. Subcontractors who can see their status in real time make fewer chasing calls.
Financially integrated
Certified application values flow directly to your accounting system - Xero, QuickBooks or Sage - without manual re-entry. Retention schedules, variation totals and payment histories are always in sync.
The platform commercial teams have been waiting for
ContractorApplications is a cloud-based SaaS platform for managing subcontractor payment applications. It covers every stage of the payment application process - subcontract setup, application submission, assessment, certification, retention, variations and final account.
The platform is built around two distinct experiences: a powerful commercial management interface for your QS and commercial team, and a genuinely usable self-service portal for your subcontractors. Both are designed to reduce the administrative burden on both sides - and to make the financial information your business depends on accurate, current and easily accessible.
- Structured application submission - consistent format every time
- Application assessment and certification with full audit trail
- Automatic retention calculation and tracking per subcontract
- Variation submission, approval and inclusion in applications
- Payment deadline tracking with automated reminders
- Accounting integration with Xero, QuickBooks and Sage
