Know every subbie on your site is cleared to work, without chasing paperwork.
TradesField handles vendor onboarding, compliance checks and live monitoring so your site teams can focus on building, not following up on expired insurances.
You didn’t sign up to be a compliance officer.
Most PMs we talk to didn’t come up through compliance. They came up through site. They know how to sequence a build, manage a subbie’s rhythm, keep a program on track. Then somewhere along the way, vendor paperwork became part of the job too. Chasing insurance certificates. Making sure the licence on file for the formworker is still current, because if it isn’t and something goes wrong, you’re the one explaining it to the site manager.
The work isn’t hard, it’s just endless. And it’s work that pulls you off the actual project.
TradesField takes it off your plate. Your subbies still do what they always did. They just do it in a system that checks everything automatically and tells you the moment something’s off. You stop chasing. You start just knowing.
01 · Onboard
Send a link, get a verified subbie back.
When you need a new subbie on a project, you send them a single link. They fill in their details on one page. ABN, insurances, licences, bank. The moment they hit submit, TradesField runs the checks against the source registries. By the time you check back, you have a verified vendor profile ready to approve.

Every subbie, every compliance state, visible at a glance.
Every project in TradesField shows you the vendors assigned to it and their current compliance state. Verified. Pending. Action needed. Blocked. Not a static list someone has to update, a live state that reflects what the registries, certificates and licences actually say today.
03 · Know
The first time you hear about a lapsed insurance isn't on a toolbox talk.
A subbie's insurance expires. Their QBCC licence gets suspended. Their company enters external administration. In a spreadsheet world, you find out when someone on site mentions it, or when the insurer's renewal letter arrives three weeks late. In TradesField, you find out the day it happens, in an email and in-platform, with enough context to act before it becomes a problem.
Their current certificate ($20M with QBE Insurance) lapses on 3 May 2026. Apex is assigned to Fortitude Valley Tower and has 6 active work orders.
04 · Inherit
Pick up someone else's project without starting from scratch.
When you step into a project halfway through, the worst part is the vendor handover. Who's been onboarded? Is their paperwork current? TradesField carries the history with the vendor, not with the person who onboarded them. You inherit a clean, live, verifiable list.

What this looks like in a typical week.
Same work, same PM. Different amount of it actually reaching your calendar.
- Emailing a new subbie three times for their certificate of currency
- Opening the ABR portal to double-check an ABN you weren't sure about
- Asking the compliance manager whether the new formworker is cleared
- Finding out a subbie's licence was suspended a month ago, on site
- Rebuilding a vendor spreadsheet after inheriting a project mid-program
- Send one link and receive a verified profile, paperwork attached
- Already checked against the ABR, attached to the vendor record
- Open the project and see the status chip next to every vendor
- Alerted in your inbox the day the change is recorded
- Inherit a clean, verified directory with every vendor's history attached
No. Vendors receive a secure link that allows them to submit required information without needing to create a login. This keeps the process fast and frictionless.
Onboard your next subbie in minutes, not weeks.
