We know what managing trades is really like
Half your job is professional relationship management; the other half is defending the company from what was never written down. Archdesk keeps the relationship human and the record complete. Side by side:
Firm on the record, fair in the room. Good subcontractors prefer working this way too.
Not just tracking. A supply chain that gets better.
Thousands of contractors run their trades through Archdesk. The package management habits that keep margins and relationships intact are how the system works from day one.
The package is the record
Everything about a package lives on it: award, orders, valuations, certificates, retentions, records and correspondence. When questions come, the answer is on the package, not in an inbox.
Payments without drama
Applications, certificates, payment notices and retentions tracked to release, netted correctly, flowing to accounts through the integration.
Performance with a memory
Every job adds to each subcontractor's record, so your supply chain decisions compound instead of resetting.

Where subcontractor managers spend their time in Archdesk
Questions subcontractor managers ask us
How does a package run through Archdesk?
From enquiry and quote comparison, through award and orders, to valuations, certificates, retention and the final account, all against one package record. Each stage adds to the same file instead of scattering across tools.
How are subcontractor valuations handled?
Subcontractors submit payment applications against their package, and you certify against recorded progress and site records. Certificates, deductions and retentions are calculated on the record, and payables flow to your accounting system.
Can subcontractors work in the system themselves?
Yes, within the access you give them: submitting progress, records and applications against their own package and nothing else. Subcontractor users are free external collaborators, so bringing the supply chain into the system costs nothing extra, and what they submit arrives structured, so you review instead of retype.
How does compliance tracking work?
Insurances, certifications and other required supply chain compliance documents sit on each subcontractor with expiry dates visible ahead of time, so renewals are chased before they lapse, not after someone is stopped at the gate.
What happens in a dispute?
The package carries its own history: what was agreed, what was instructed, what was recorded on site, what was certified and when. Disputes get resolved from the record, which is usually what keeps them small.
How does performance history help me?
Every package a subcontractor delivers adds price, delivery and quality history to their record. When you let the next package, the shortlist builds itself from evidence rather than recollection.
