Subcontractor Portal Process Benefits Overview

The Unanet Subcontractor Portal seeks to simplify and shorten the time and effort
required to manage the Subcontractor workforce. The Subcontractor Portal is available
to active users designated as subcontractors in Unanet.

The Subcontractor Portal is seen as a highly controlled extension or “sister site” to your
Unanet environment. Portal users will have a separate log in site, but it is the same
database. The data entered in the portal will be immediately visible in your Unanet
environment.

Subcontractor Portal Benefits:
• Easier time & expense process: Subcontractor employees input and have their
time and expenses approved in one location.
• Reduced administrative burden: Subcontractors self-manage new users,
Purchase Order reviews and assignments, and prepare Vendor Invoices.
• Improve project execution: Gain real-time visibility and control over projects.
• Provides efficiencies: Shortens the cycle from incurring labor to invoicing and
revenue recognition.
