New Feature Release: Compliance Management for Flash Prime

Compliance & Billing in Construction

At the end of the day, compliance tracking is a critical part of construction billing. However, in most cases, general contractors are still collecting and tracking this additional documentation outside of the billing process. Unfortunately, separating these processes can lead to massive issues in miscommunication and compliance problems.

‍

Additionally, checking information between two disparate systems is a massive time sink. Reducing the time you spend processing projects and the errors associated with manual processes is what we're all about here at Flashtract.

‍

With this in mind, we’ve completed the compliance management tool in Flash Prime for general contractors. Now you can automatically collect documents, see compliance statuses and receive updates on compliance changes.

What Can the Compliance Feature do?

📣 Notify users of status changes

📑 Automatically collect compliance documents

📊 Track & show compliance statuses

In the past, collection and tracking of compliance documents have been tedious and manual. Documents could be difficult to find, or get lost among many inboxes or files. If hard copies were being stored, these paper documents were probably contributing to clutter and taking up space in the office.

‍

However, obviously, not keeping track of these documents is a risky prospect. Disorganization and mistakes could lead to massive legal issues that cost the company lots of time and money.

‍

With Flashtract, all your documents are stored securely in the cloud. They're all easily accessible within our software. Better yet, both general contractors and subcontractors can easily see which compliance requirements have been filled, are missing, or expired. This way, everyone is on the same page and has the same information.

What can you use our Compliance feature for?

⏱️Requiring subcontractors to upload compliance items at the start of a project.

🚧 Preventing subcontractors from submitting invoices once compliance items expire

☁️ Storing all your compliance documents digitally in the cloud

⚠️ Automatically notifying your subcontractors before their documents expire
