Subcontractor certificates software - let it take over the checking work

Thanks to Bausicht, we can now cover 50 percent more construction sites with the same staff. Managing subcontractors takes us 40 percent less effort thanks to the all-in-one solution covering access control, compliance and deliveries, because everyone takes part on their own.

As one of Germany’s leading construction logistics providers managing many sites, supporting subcontractors is the central topic for us.

We used to spend a lot of time managing subcontractors, tracking documents and coordinating deliveries, because we had a separate isolated tool for everything. Excel here, an access system there, delivery traffic somewhere else again. And new login credentials for every site.

We spent a lot of time gathering information and jumping back and forth between systems. The old systems were simply error-prone.

We were very limited, and individual client requirements had to be covered with extra staffing. At some point we reached the stage where the old systems were no longer up to date.

We looked for alternatives, and Bausicht was the only provider able to meet all our requirements. With Bausicht we now save time on administrative processes every day and can put the time gained to good use in our projects.

The first thing that changed when we started working with Bausicht: queries dropped by 40 percent. They get a link, register, upload their documents and are done.

We have about 50 subcontractors on one site and everyone takes part. The system is also multilingual and easy for everyone to understand.

Internally, we need far less training. When a new site manager joins, a short briefing is enough and he can get started. And for a new site I can simply create a new project and invite all subcontractors with their existing logins.

And commissioning at site launch takes minutes instead of hours. The turnstile arrives on the truck already assigned in Bausicht, then the power goes in and that’s it.

Router and SIM are already inside, we need no electrician and no half day of setup.

On top of that comes the flexibility. I no longer have to be physically present on every site.

I can assign permissions, change settings, diagnose issues, all from a laptop or phone.

I can be in Dortmund this morning and look after three sites in Bochum in the afternoon without getting into the car. I could never have imagined that before.

All of this means we can deliver more on more construction sites. And Bausicht also supports us in sales.

When I mention Bausicht to a client, most of them nod and say: “Ah yes, I already know Bausicht.” I don’t have to explain anything or demonstrate anything anymore.

In case something is unclear, I can send the client a demo account right away that they can explore themselves.

And thanks to the adaptability, I can commit to any service without running into problems during execution. That used to be different.

The trend is that a site manager is in Dortmund today and in Bochum tomorrow. For that he needs construction logistics software that keeps up, not one that holds him back.

Our vision: every construction site can be managed from anywhere. Subcontractors manage themselves, compliance runs in the background and the site manager only steps in when it is really necessary.

And Bausicht is the right partner for that.
