THE CORE PROBLEMS & SOLUTION FOR FIELD SERVICES & INSTALLATION CONTRACTING COMPANIES

COMPLIANCE LANDMINES

If you're managing 1099 workers with software created for W2 employees, you could be 1 audit away from disaster. Over the past decade, misclassified workers have surged due to enforcement crackdowns & nuclear verdicts.

An estimated 10–30% of employers misclassify workers, while laws like AB5 & the ABC test have improved detection & reporting. The average penalty per misclassified worker is $25,000. Multiple that by the 3 of ICs, and that is your exposure amount. For example, 50 ICs equals $1.25M in exposure.

Custom workflows help field services & installation contracting companies onboard compliant independent installers, plumbers, facilities technicians, building inspectors, and more fast. Our platform includes a full suite of compliance tools such as identity verification, EIN verification, background checks, document management, compliance notifications,  contract execution, self-service IC vendor portal, and a built-in worker classification audit trail. 

INSURANCE NIGHTMARES

You can’t track multiple certificates of insurance (COIs) manually, and the moment coverage lapses, your liability spikes. One gap is all it takes to lose a major client that requires proof of insurance or, worse, expose your business to catastrophic financial risk.

Common insurance vulnerabilities include ICs operating without proper coverage or carrying policies with gaps between jobs, expired or noncompliant COIs that slip past manual reviews, and increasing demands from big-box clients who require proof of insurance for every IC on every job. Coverage is often too costly or inconsistent for ICs to maintain reliably, and when insurance fails, injury, property damage, or defect claims can fall back on the hiring company.

Field Services and installation work can create property damage, injury, and misclassification. Our goal is to help contracting companies manage these exposures with the right coverage. We offer many different insurance solutions which include Occupational Accident and General Liability. 

PAYMENT CHAOS

Manual IC payment processes drive delays, errors, and compliance risk, leading to contractor churn, missed shifts, and cash-flow disruptions. Without automated, compliant payment infrastructure, home healthcare and personal service contracting  companies face higher fraud risk, mounting administrative burden, and stalled growth as payouts, reconciliations, 1099s, and deductions become increasingly difficult to manage at scale.

Our Pay Module helps contracting companies scale by eliminating the bookkeeping, reconciliations, and manual deductions that can become a full-time job. It offers multiple payment options, custom deductions, automated 1099 tax forms, secure banking through our Plaid integration, and cash advances.
