KPA Unveils Contractor Management to Streamline Third-Party Compliance and Reduce Risk
2024年7月9日 - 10:11PM
KPA, a leading provider of workplace environmental, health, and
safety (EHS) compliance software, has announced the launch of
Contractor Management, a new, cutting-edge software solution
developed to manage the complex process of third-party contractor
compliance. As more organizations rely on third parties for labor,
this innovative product promises to transform the way industries
handle contractor compliance, offering a comprehensive suite of
features that enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and mitigate
risks associated with contractor operations.
As contractor use increases so does organizations’ exposure to
risk, with legal, financial, operational, safety, and Environmental
Social Governance (ESG) implications. This dynamic has created a
sizable market for contractor management software, currently
expected to double to more than $4 billion by 2028. Armed with more
outsourced labor, it is critical that businesses navigate the
regulatory and operational challenges of contractor management
efficiently. KPA’s newest Flex Contractor Management software
solution will do that while also helping to reduce administrative
burden, automate the contractor onboarding process, and provide
real-time visibility into contractor performance and
compliance.
Jade Brainard, Senior Director of Product Management at KPA,
commented, “With Contractor Management, we are setting a new
standard for the industry that still relies on spreadsheets and
manual processes. Our platform not only facilitates the crucial
prequalification of third-party contractors but also provides
ongoing management capabilities. This means reduced legal and
financial risks for our clients and, most importantly, a safer and
more compliant working environment.”
The KPA Flex Contractor Management solution addresses the
intricate needs of hiring clients, contractors, and contractor
employees by offering configurable tools such as configurable
prequalification requirements, a dedicated contractor portal,
contractor compliance scoring/risk rating, and tailored contractor
training modules. These features meet the specific demands of a
variety of industries, providing a scalable solution that
integrates with existing HR, EHS, and accounting systems.
Contractor Management is a new standalone solution that works
within KPA’s Flex software suite for an all-in-one integrated and
comprehensive solution to manage compliance and workplace EHS.
Highly regarded by customers from a wide variety of industries, KPA
Flex provides an integrated solution for Environmental, Health, and
Safety (EHS), ESG & Sustainability, Online Training and SDS
