1Register the community
Name it, add the address, and that's the account. One screen, no sales call, and nothing to pay, for this community or any you add after it.
Start the invite here
Paste your roster now; it attaches to the account your application makes. Import the list of vendors you already use, your roster, and Roster Watch runs on it at no charge for as long as the account is open: a quarterly re-check of every company on it, with a filed record of what it found each time.
No account needed to fill this in — only the button at the foot asks for one.
Getting started
Registration is one screen. Paste your companies in above or after you sign in — either way, invited vendors enroll under their own names.
Name it, add the address, and that's the account. One screen, no sales call, and nothing to pay, for this community or any you add after it.
An email address is all that's required. Add the company name, a contact, and a phone number if you have them, or paste the lot straight out of a spreadsheet — the table above does exactly that.
Each one gets its own invitation, applies, uploads its documents, and is checked before it can propose. They go on setting their own prices and sending their own invoices.
Your existing companies
Who you hire, what you pay them and who you call when the pump fails all stay exactly as they are. The certificate, the invoice and the visit photo move out of your inbox and sit under the community.
They upload it once, and the expiration date goes on file beside it. When a renewal is coming up you hear it from the record rather than from the company's own memory.
Every company files general liability and workers’ compensation before it can propose on your community. In every trade but painting there is a third: the credential that trade’s own work requires. We read each certificate ourselves and record the date it expires.
They each send their own invoice and you pay each one. Because those invoices land in the same place, whoever closes the books stops rebuilding the month out of a mailbox.
We verify the business registration and the W-9 before a vendor can open an RFP at all. The registration tells a community which company it would be signing with.
