Subcontractor Portal · free for up to 6 users

Your team, your credentials, every site. Sorted.

Manage your engineers, their roles and every company and engineer credential in one place, on your own. When a main contractor on Sync brings you onto a project, link up for shared documents, inductions and site check-in.

Everything in the portal

Useful from day one, even on your own

You do not need a main contractor on Sync to get value from it. Run your team and your compliance in the portal, and switch on the project features whenever a contractor links you.

Works on its own With a main contractor
Part 1

Run your own team, with or without a contractor

Everything in this part works the day you sign up. No spreadsheets of ticket expiry dates, no folders of scanned cards, no hunting for the insurance certificate when someone asks.

Users and engineers

Your whole crew on one list

Add the people who manage the portal as users, with a role and permissions you control, and add the people who go to site as engineers. One person can be both. Each engineer shows straight away as valid, action required or expired.

Roles and required credentials

Set what each role needs, once

Build your own engineer roles, from apprentice to supervisor, and assign the credentials each one requires from your own list of credential types. Sync then checks every engineer against their role, and marks anything else as not required.

Company and engineer credentials

Every certificate, in date and to hand

Upload each credential once with its expiry date and the document attached. Company credentials, like insurance and policies, sit alongside every engineer's cards and training, so you can see what is valid, expiring or expired at a glance.

Your credentials, in your pocket

Every engineer can see their own credentials and show their QR code on the gate. When you are linked to a contractor, the project you are due on sits at the top, ready to check in.

Part 2

Link up with your main contractors

Send your linking code to a main contractor on Sync and the projects they share with you appear in your portal, alongside the team and credentials you already manage.

Link to as many contractors as you work for from the same account. Instead of digging through emails or waiting for someone to resend the latest file, you see the project information they share with you, and your credentials are already there for them to check.

What linking adds

Ready for site, and on top of the work

The main contractor runs the project. Your team gets a simpler way to stay ready, compliant and informed.

Projects can only be shared by a main contractor already using Sync. Shared projects are mostly view only for now.
How to find and share your linking code
See every project you are linked to, across all your main contractors.
Open the summary, project documents and the latest drawings.
Complete site inductions before you arrive.
Check in and out on site, with your time logged.

Site inductions

Turn up cleared for site, every time

Read the site information, answer the knowledge check and sign, all before you set off. Pass, and you are cleared to check in. No gate-hut scramble, no wasted hours.

Health and safety

Report it from site, in a few steps

Where your main contractor has it enabled, raise health and safety reports straight from your portal or the app: choose the type and the project, add the location and the detail, and attach photos. Complete any audits they make available to you, in the same place.

Frequently asked questions

No. You can use the portal on its own to manage your users, engineers, engineer roles and the company and engineer credentials you hold, with expiry dates and documents in one place. Linking to a main contractor on Sync adds their shared projects, site inductions, digital site check-in and health and safety reporting on top.

It is free for up to 6 users. Professional covers up to 25 users with unlimited projects and more storage, with a 30-day free trial. Enterprise is for teams of more than 25 users. See the pricing page for current prices.

Users log in and help manage your portal, with a role and permissions you set. Engineers are the people whose credentials you track and who attend site. One person can be both: tick "Is this user an engineer?" when you create them.

Yes. In Config Settings you set up your engineer roles and assign the credentials each role requires, from your own list of credential types. Each engineer then shows as valid, action required or expired against the role they hold.

Copy the linking code from Account, Linked Portals and send it to the main contractor. Once they link you and share a project, it appears under your projects. You can be linked to more than one main contractor from the same account.

Projects are created and shared by main contractors already using Sync. Check that the project has been shared with your company, that you sent the right linking code from the right account, and that your user has permission to view projects.

Yes. Sync is on iOS and Android. Check in to the project you are due on, complete site inductions, view your credentials and QR code, and report a near miss with photos from your phone.

Running the main contract?

When your subcontractors keep their own credentials current in the portal, your whole supply chain stays compliant, and you can prove it in seconds.
