Despite their impressive track record, this utilities sector leader faced a significant hurdle: a manual, time-consuming contractor vetting process. Here’s how it played out:
Tedious Data Collection: Gathering contractor data for vetting involved a lot of manual effort. This slowed down the onboarding process and wasted valuable time.
Error-Prone System: Manual processes increased the likelihood of human error, raising concerns about contractor compliance and project safety.
Data Silos and Disorganization: Maintaining a single source of truth for contractor information was challenging. This hampered internal communication and made managing contractor approvals difficult.
Bottlenecks and Delays: The disjointed process created slowdowns in contractor approval, leading to project delays and frustration.
These challenges not only impacted efficiency but also raised safety concerns. With a manual system, this company couldn’t be entirely confident that all contractors were fully compliant with safety regulations. This posed a potential risk to workers, clients, and the environment.
They needed a better way. Enter Veriforce Contractor Management, a comprehensive solution designed to streamline contractor vetting and improve safety. Here’s how Veriforce addressed this company’s challenges and continues to today:
