Moving to a contractor management and compliance system…

Universities face unique challenges when it comes to contractor compliance, made harder for campuses using paper or spreadsheet based systems to maintain the safety of their widespread facilities, multiple projects and everyone on site. How can we help you solve that?

Using outdated or paper-based systems…

Using Verature’s streamlined automation at your campus…

They lack efficiency, control & security leaving you vulnerable to corruption & lost data. Data is secured behind login settings & user permissions, archived & retrievable.
Extreme susceptibility to human error. Standardised data input with alerts escalations processes removing the risk of human error.
Resistant to consolidation & merging. Brings information together easily to manage all your data in one central cloud-based system.
Unsuitable for agile business practices. Adaptability for your workflows & to meet changing requirements in contractor compliance.
Inadequate for managing scalability. Tiered packages & optional extras to meet your needs as you grow.
Lacking visuals which reduces your ability to easily review data & make quick decisions. Digital data dashboards provide simple yet effective visuals of your data that you can easily review & analyse.
Reduced capability for sharing internally, preventing you from working collaboratively across multiple sites & campuses. Contractor Assurance Portal & multi-user access allows you to store & share data, enabling collaborative working across sprawling sites.
Lacks the ability to troubleshoot, test or handle advanced workflows. Configured & built-in workflows, mandatory fields & approvals ensures your compliance regime is followed 100% of the time.
Repetitive manual booking-in process, taking up valuable time and man power. The automated online induction & assessment process plus our Self-Service Mobile Check-In enables an easy & simple check in/out system that requires minimal input from campus staff.
Non-existent or limited visibility. Data is always complete & traceable with data trails throughout the system which provides you with important visibility & audit-ability.
