Many companies today require contractors to complete prequalification and compliance verification before they can begin work. One widely used platform for this process is Veriforce®.
Veriforce® connects thousands of hiring clients and contractors worldwide, helping companies manage safety programs, documentation, training, and workplace qualifications all in one place.
If you’ve been asked to join Veriforce® or are just getting started, here are the key topics to understand.
What is Veriforce® ONE?
To understand what Veriforce® is, we need to understand what Veriforce® ONE is.
Veriforce® ONE is a unified platform that brings together several prequalification and compliance solutions from Veriforce®, including Verisource®, CompliancePro®, and others, into a single, streamlined system.
What Is Veriforce® and Why Do Companies Use It?
Veriforce® is a comprehensive Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) and contractor safety compliance platform that is designed to help organizations ensure they are working with safe, compliant, and qualified contractors.
Hiring companies use Veriforce® to:
- Verify contractor safety programs and qualifications
- Track compliance and training records
- Manage contractor risk across projects and sites
- And, ensure contractors meet company and regulatory requirements
By centralizing this information, companies can make faster and more informed decisions when selecting contractors to work with.
Why Would I Need Veriforce® Over Other Platforms?
In most cases, contractors use Veriforce® because it’s a requirement from a hiring client. Many large companies, especially in the oil & gas, utilities, energy, and industrial sectors, require contractors to be prequalified through a specific platform to ensure they meet safety, compliance, and training standards before being allowed on site.
Many companies mandate which prequalification platform contractors must use. If a client works with Veriforce®, a contractor must register, submit documents, and maintain compliance through Veriforce® to be eligible to work with that client. Using the platform aligns the contractor with the client’s safety and compliance standards.
Understanding the Network
When a contractor joins Veriforce®, they become part of one of the largest contractor management networks in the world, connecting with hiring companies across many industries.
The network includes:
- Over 3,200 hiring clients
- More than 140,000 contractors and suppliers
- And, companies operating in 140+ countries
For contractors, this means that once their information is in the system, it can often be shared with multiple hiring clients, reducing the need to submit the same documentation repeatedly.
Creating Your Contractor Profile
One of the first steps in getting started is building your company profile within Veriforce®. Contractors typically upload and manage documents such as:
- Safety programs and policies
- Training records
- Insurance certificates
- Job Safety Analyses (JSA)
- And, Master Service Agreements (MSAs)
The platform allows companies to store and archive documents securely for several years, making it easier to maintain compliance records and respond to hiring client requests.
Completing Contractor Prequalification
A key part of the Veriforce® process is contractor prequalification. During this stage, contractors may be required to:
- Complete a standardized digital questionnaire
- Submit safety performance metrics
- Provide documentation related to safety programs and policies
- And, demonstrate training and workforce qualifications
This information helps hiring companies verify that contractors are capable, compliant, and prepared to work safely on their sites.
Managing Compliance and Training
Veriforce® also helps contractors maintain ongoing compliance by tracking training and safety documentation. Features include:
- Digital dashboards that show compliance status
- Training programs and safety resources
- Document storage and renewal tracking
- And, worker qualification and badging systems
Some contractors also use PEC Learn (Veriforce®) to provide workers with ID badges that display training and qualification records, helping companies quickly verify workforce readiness.
Benefits of Using Veriforce®
Joining Veriforce® can provide several benefits for contractors and hiring companies.
For contractors:
- Increased exposure to hiring clients looking for qualified vendors
- Faster onboarding with companies already using the platform
- And, centralized management of safety and compliance documents
For hiring companies:
- Better visibility into contractor qualifications
