Automate subcontractor payments to crush disputes and delays
Enterprise construction teams face chaotic onboarding and management of subcontractors without a centralized platform, resulting in payment disputes and project delays.
PaySubTrack centralizes invoice submission, milestone verification, and lien waiver collection for seamless payments. Project managers approve work via photo uploads and progress reports, triggering instant payouts. This eliminates payment arguments by creating an audit trail tied to project milestones.
