The Problem

What Is Vendor Compliance Software in Construction?

Vendor compliance software in construction is a purpose-built platform that automates how general contractors collect and verify compliance documents from their subcontractors and suppliers — including certificates of insurance (COIs), W9 tax forms, business licenses, and other project-specific requirements.

Without dedicated software, most GC teams manage vendor compliance through a mix of spreadsheets, email chains, and manual follow-ups. That approach breaks down fast when you’re running multiple projects with dozens of subs. Documents expire, requests fall through the cracks, and your team is left chasing compliance instead of building.

Billy replaces that chaos with a centralized, automated workflow — so your team always knows who’s compliant, who’s not, and what needs attention today.

Connects with the Construction Tech Stack You Already Use

Billy plugs directly into the platforms GCs already run their projects on — no duplicate data entry, no manual syncing, no separate compliance system to manage.

When a new vendor is added to a Procore project, Billy automatically kicks off the compliance request — no manual steps required. Your project data stays in sync so your compliance data does too.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Billy’s vendor compliance software for construction.

What documents does Billy track beyond certificates of insurance?

Billy tracks any compliance document your project requires — including W9 tax forms, business licenses, prequalification forms, signed contracts, and any custom document type you define per project or vendor tier.

Do my subcontractors need to create an account to submit documents?

No. Vendors and their brokers receive a secure link and can upload documents without creating a login. This dramatically reduces friction and gets you faster compliance from subs who aren’t tech-forward.

How does Billy handle insurance requirements that vary by project?

You can set different compliance requirements at the project level — so a high-rise job site with different liability thresholds than a renovation project will have the right requirements applied automatically to every vendor working on it.

Does Billy support vendor prequalification?

Yes. Beyond tracking compliance documents, Billy supports subcontractor prequalification — helping GCs screen and onboard vendors before they ever mobilize on a project. This adds a risk management layer on top of ongoing compliance tracking.

How long does it take to get started?

Most GC teams are up and running in Billy within days, not months. The Procore integration in particular can be live in minutes — and your vendor data syncs automatically from there.

Is Billy only for large general contractors?

No — Billy is used by GCs ranging from regional builders running a handful of projects to large national firms managing hundreds of active vendors. The platform scales to your roster and project volume.
