Your client might control the CMS. You should control your supply chain.
FastDraft™ gives contractors their own contract management environment to run the supply chain while still working alongside client-mandated systems.
The Reality on Most Construction Projects
Contractors are often required to use the client’s system for the main contract. But they still need a way to manage their subcontract packages properly. A typical project has:
Yet traditional contract management platforms are designed to manage a single contract relationship. Contractors are left trying to manage the rest of the supply chain using:
Spreadsheets
Email threads
Manual trackers
This creates extra work for commercial teams and makes it harder to see what’s happening across the project.
Why subcontract management breaks down
When contractors win work they usually face one of two situations.
Scenario 1 — The client system is imposed
The client mandates a contract management system.
That system may not be configured for managing subcontract packages or contractor workflows.
This can lead to:
Scenario 2 — No system for subcontracts
On other projects the client CMS is only mandated for the head contract.
Which leaves subcontract administration reliant on:
FastDraft™ bridges both scenarios
FastDraft™ will easily sit between the client system and the supply chain, giving contractors their own environment to manage subcontract contracts while still sharing the required data upstream.
