What it doesCross-industry contractor and supplier risk management network: hiring clients set requirements and contractors and suppliers join to get qualified and stay compliant. Prequalification page lists collecting, reviewing and monitoring safety performance, audits, certifications and documents; one platform for health and safety, financial viability, diversity qualifications, workforce risk and liability; safety audits where auditors work with the contractor to close gaps; requirements tailored to local rules by in-house specialists; analytics at contractor, subcontractor and worker level; Tōtika (New Zealand) accredited prequalification; and FMCSA motor carrier data. Site navigation also lists insurance verification, business financial risk, contractor cybersecurity risk, subcontractor management, worker management, field safety and ESG modules. AI page describes AskAva (vendor calls it the industry's first generative AI risk assistant) for job hazard analyses, safety inspections and incident investigations; AI that extracts data from uploaded contractor and supplier forms and flags missing or inaccurate information before submission; an AI co-pilot that assists Avetta's own auditors; and AI plus OCR in worker-document review by its compliance staff. Counters of 360,000+ businesses in 120+ countries and a network of 130,000+ prequalified contractors, and plan-page outcome figures (30% fewer incidents, up to 3x ROI and similar), are vendor claims. Not construction-specific: construction is one of several industries in its content.ISN's contractor and supplier information management platform. Hiring clients configure requirements by location, risk level or designation; contractors and suppliers submit health, safety, sustainability, insurance, financial, training and procurement information once for multiple hiring clients within one subscription; and ISN's Review and Verification Services (RAVS) team reviews submitted documents against regulatory and hiring-client requirements (vendor description). Also lists HSE management, sustainability/CSR data, a safety culture perception survey, supply-chain cybersecurity, insurance and financial risk (agents or brokers can submit insurance for the contractor at no additional fee; third-party policy data and insurer ratings from participating sources), worker-level training and qualifications, third-party data, and ISN Analytics dashboards and benchmarking. The Empower app for workers lists ISN ID, jobsite requirements and compliance status, mobile training, and what ISN calls AI-generated tools such as Hazard Assistant and Toolbox Talks. Figures of 900 hiring clients and a network of 90,000+ contractors and suppliers are vendor claims. Cross-industry, not construction-specific; the AI described is in the worker app, not in prequal review.
