Managing subcontractors on a construction site doesn’t need to be chaotic. With Boxcore’s subcontractor management software, everything from onboarding and digital inductions to time tracking and compliance checks can be handled quickly and easily from one mobile-first platform.
Unlike clunky legacy systems or over-engineered tools designed for head office, Boxcore’s Subcontractor Management Software has been built specifically for site teams and subcontractors. That means it’s fast to deploy, simple to use, and genuinely helpful in real-world project environments—whether you’re overseeing a single job or coordinating activity across multiple locations in Ireland, the UK, the EU or the USA.
Subcontractor Management Software Needs to Work Where the Work Happens
Across regions, subcontractors carry out a significant share of all on-site activity—from groundworks and formwork to mechanical, electrical and fit-out packages. Yet in many cases, they’re still expected to track training, compliance and site attendance manually or through fragmented systems.
In Ireland, subcontractors need to maintain valid Safepass cards and site-specific safety records. In the UK, CSCS cards, RAMS and ongoing training logs are core requirements. In the USA, contractors are under pressure to deliver documented proof of Orientation, OSHA training, and SST card compliance—especially in cities like New York. And across the EU, project owners increasingly expect real-time digital records from subcontractor teams as part of ESG and regulatory compliance.
Boxcore delivers a consistent, region-aware platform that supports all of these needs—without creating extra admin. And because the system works across mobile, desktop and tablet, it’s practical for teams both in the field and in the office.

Digital Onboarding and Orientation in Minutes, Not Days
Subcontractors often have to mobilise quickly. New teams arrive on site daily, especially during peak programme periods. Traditional onboarding involving printed forms, face-to-face briefings and delayed access approvals slows everything down.
Boxcore simplifies this with fast digital onboarding:
- Upload CSCS/Safepass/SST/OSHA cards
- Complete site inductions and project-specific orientations
- Upload insurance documents, method statements and risk assessments
- Capture training by role or task (e.g., working at height, confined space, plant operation)
Records are instantly visible to site managers and client teams. Workers can be signed in and ready in minutes. For US-based sites, compliance with Local Law 196 is built in. For EU projects, documentation and audit logs can be stored securely for regulatory inspection.

Quick Value Is Critical for Adoption
One of the biggest mistakes contractors make when deploying software is underestimating the need for fast impact at ground level.
Subcontractors operate on tight margins and faster turnaround times. If a digital tool doesn’t show benefits within hours or days—not weeks—it’s unlikely to be adopted consistently. That’s where Boxcore stands apart.
“If there’s one thing we’ve learned since launching Boxcore, it’s that simplicity wins. Software that isn’t immediately easy to use simply won’t get adopted – especially by site crews.”
— Padraig Reilly, CEO & Founder of Boxcore
Subcontractors need tools that reduce friction, not add to it. With Boxcore, there’s no extensive training or IT setup. Most subcontractor teams can be fully onboarded within 15–30 minutes. The result? Higher compliance, better visibility, and fewer delays—all without needing a dedicated admin person on every crew.
General Contractors Love It Because Subcontractors Use It
General contractors consistently choose Boxcore not just because of the features—but because their subcontractors actually use it.
Adoption at the subcontractor level is often the biggest hurdle when deploying any safety or workforce management platform. Boxcore overcomes this by being intuitive, mobile-friendly and extremely quick to get started with. Subcontractors get instant benefits, which in turn gives general contractors the full visibility and compliance data they need without chasing or duplicating tasks.
When subcontractors engage with a platform properly, it makes the general contractor’s job far easier. That’s why Boxcore sees strong uptake across Tier One firms and local builders alike—because everyone in the supply chain benefits.
Track Time and Attendance with Facial Recognition
Accurate workforce records are essential on every site—but even more so for subcontractors needing to validate hours, support applications for payment, or respond to client queries.
Boxcore uses facial recognition technology to log worker entry and exit, replacing paper sign-in sheets and reducing the risk of buddy-punching or time fraud. Attendance data is available instantly and can be broken down by company, job role or site.
This is particularly useful for Tier One contractors working with dozens of subcontractor firms. At a glance, project managers can see exactly who is on site, how long they’ve been there, and whether they’re approved to work.
For NYC, this supports full DOB compliance. In Ireland and the UK, it helps with insurance validation, HSA/HSE inspections, and dispute resolution.

Automate Safety Registers, Training Logs and RAMS
Trying to keep track of training records, document expiry dates and equipment inspections is a major drain on subcontractor resources. Boxcore automates this.
From the platform, you can:
- Track training by worker, role or location
- Get real-time alerts when certificates or cards are due to expire
- Upload, review and share RAMS without endless email chains
- Maintain asset inspection logs and assign responsibility
This level of automation not only saves time, but ensures nothing is missed. For subcontractors trying to scale across multiple sites—or meet increasingly stringent requirements from clients—Boxcore eliminates the usual admin burden.
