Subbies managed.
Nothing missed.

Using subcontractors without the right systems means chasing paperwork, losing track of costs, and finding out someone wasn't compliant after the job is done. Begin360 gives you one place to manage every subcontractor — from onboarding and compliance through to scheduling, purchase orders, and payment.

— What This Module Does —

One place for every subcontractor — compliance, costs, and work

When you're managing subcontractors across a spreadsheet, a filing cabinet, and a group chat, things slip. Insurance lapses without anyone noticing. A sub gets scheduled on a job they're not licensed for. Invoices arrive without a matching purchase order. You find out about the problem when it's already a liability.

Subcontractor Management gives you a live register of every subcontractor you work with — their licences, insurance, ABN, and compliance status — with automatic alerts before anything expires. You can only schedule compliant subbies, raise purchase orders before the work starts, and match their invoices to an approved order when they arrive.

Everything connects. Subcontractor costs flow into your project budgets automatically. Their work appears on the same dispatch board as your internal team. And when it's time to pay, the approval trail is already there.

Live compliance register with automatic alerts

Every subcontractor's licence, insurance, and certifications are stored in one place. Get automatic alerts before anything expires — and block scheduling for anyone whose documents are out of date.

Purchase orders before the work starts

Raise a PO against the project or job before a subcontractor sets foot on site. When their invoice arrives, it matches against the approved order — no surprises, no unapproved spend.

Subcontractor costs tracked against project budgets

Every subcontractor cost is posted against the project it belongs to in real time. You always know how much of the budget has gone to subbies — and what's left for the rest of the work.

Scheduled on the same board as your internal team

Subbies appear on your dispatch and scheduling board alongside your own people. The office sees the full picture — not just the internal team — without maintaining two separate systems.

SUBCONTRACTORS
— SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE —

What's included ?

Everything you need to manage subcontractors properly — from first onboarding through to final payment — without the admin chaos or compliance blind spots.

Subcontractor register

A central record for every subcontractor — ABN, contact details, trade type, licences, insurance certificates, and compliance status. Everything in one place, always current.

01

Compliance expiry alerts

Automatic alerts when licences, insurance, or certifications are approaching expiry — sent to the right person with enough lead time to chase the document before it becomes a problem.

02

Scheduling block for non-compliant subbies

Anyone with expired or missing compliance documents cannot be scheduled for work. The system prevents the assignment — so the risk is caught before the subcontractor is on site, not after.

03

Purchase order management

Raise purchase orders against specific projects or jobs before work begins. Subbies can receive POs directly, and their invoices are matched against the approved order on arrival.

04

Invoice matching and approval

When a subcontractor invoice arrives, it's matched to the purchase order automatically. Only approved invoices flow through to payment — no rogue spend, no duplicate payments.

05

Costs posted to project budgets

Every approved subcontractor cost is posted to the right project or job in real time. Budget vs actual always includes subcontractor spend — not just internal labour and materials.

06

Scheduling alongside internal team

Subcontractors appear on the same dispatch board as your employees. Assign them to jobs, send them job details, and track completion — without a separate system for subbies.

07

Performance and reliability tracking

Track on-time completion, quality issues, and feedback for every subcontractor over time. Know who your most reliable subbies are before you assign them to your most important jobs.

08

Document storage per subcontractor

Insurance certificates, licence copies, signed agreements, and safety inductions stored against each subcontractor record — accessible when you need them, auditable when you have to be.

— WORKFORCE COSTS —

Purchase Orders & Invoicing. No PO, no payment. Every subcontractor cost accounted for.

One of the most common ways subcontractor costs blow out is invoices that arrive with no matching order — work that was agreed verbally, scoped differently to what was quoted, or simply billed at a higher rate than expected. Begin360 requires a purchase order before work begins, so when the invoice arrives you're comparing it against something approved, not trying to remember what was discussed on a phone call three weeks ago.
