Contractors & Suppliers
CONTRACTORS and SUPPLIERS are various entities (including but not limited to: Contractors, Subcontractors, Material Suppliers, Motor Carriers, and/or Vendors), whom Hiring Organizations hire, contract, or to whom they otherwise outsource some part(s) of their business.
Benefits
Contractors and Suppliers are bombarded daily by third-party organizations offering to help them comply with Hiring Organization’s Compliance Standards, which are often a pre-requisite for being hired by the latter. Additionally, there is a wide array of “one-off” safety auditing, procurement, supply chain management programs, “ecosystem” companies, human resource management firms, and access control and employee ID card management firms. Some of these companies offer solid technology, but in the end, it’s up to the Contractors and Suppliers, to learn how to use each individual system, to submit and resubmit the ever-changing list of required documents and data to multiple systems and databases, incurring the constantly increasing cost in both time and money.

-
send you timely notifications prior to and upon the expiration of relevant documents and other requirements;
