Built for TradesSub Management · Email + Text · Built for Trades
Your Operation.
Simplified.
Subcontractor management software built for the trades. Jobs, payments, compliance, and protection — all in one place.
Free trial. Texts are opt-in, TCPA-compliant — reply STOP anytime.
Running subs shouldn't feel like chaos.
The texts never stop.
Subs blowing up your phone asking where their check is — every Friday, every job, every time.
Expired COIs.
You find out a sub's insurance lapsed three months ago — right after an incident on the jobsite.
No clear picture of what's owed.
Twelve jobs, eight subs, retainage scattered across spreadsheets. You're guessing at every payment run.
One source of truth. No more guessing.
Subs see their own payments — instantly.
Every sub gets a portal showing exactly when they'll be paid, what's pending, and what's been released. The Friday texts stop.
COI expiration tracking that actually works.
Upload it once. Subtl tracks the expiration and warns you 30 days out — and blocks the sub from new jobs if it lapses.
Know exactly what you owe — across every job.
A live ledger of every sub, every job, retainage held, and what's clear to pay. No more spreadsheet roulette.
Know who's on site — and in what weather.
Subs tap once when they arrive. Subtl logs GPS, flags anyone off-site, and stamps the weather conditions automatically — for insurance, disputes, and your own peace of mind.
Your subs get a real mobile app.
Every sub has their own portal — jobs, balance owed, check-in, tax summary, documents. Portal links arrive by text, so subs tap and they're in — no password, no app to install.
Scheduling that never double-books.
Subtl blocks any assignment that would put a sub on two jobs the same day — so you never double-book a crew or promise a customer a day that's already taken.
And when you need to fill a job fast, offer it to multiple subs at once — Subtl still blocks anyone already booked that day, so you never double-book a sub who accepts.
Subs Own Their Calendar
Each subcontractor marks the days they are available, unavailable, or booked right from their portal — on the phone, in the truck, on the jobsite.
Conflict-Free Assignment
When you assign a job, Subtl checks every existing booking. If a sub is already on another job that day, the assignment is blocked before it happens.
Weekly Availability Pings
Subs get a friendly weekly nudge to update next week's calendar so you always plan from current information — not last month's promises.
Built-in Subcontractor Protection.
Automatic.
Every subcontractor signs before they see their first job. No chasing. No paperwork. No excuses.
Most contractors have nothing in writing with their subs. No agreement. No protection. No recourse when a sub goes around them and takes their client. Subtl changes that automatically — before a subcontractor can access a single job, payment, or document in your portal, they sign a professional agreement covering client respect, confidentiality, and team integrity. It happens during their onboarding. You never have to ask.
Agreements and change orders — every signature you need, collected automatically, before it becomes a dispute.
Automatic Collection
The moment you invite a sub to your portal the agreement is waiting for them. They cannot access their dashboard until they have read and signed it. No reminders. No follow up. Subtl handles it.
Permanently on Record
Every signed agreement is stored permanently in your account with the sub's full name, signature, timestamp, and IP address recorded. Download it anytime as a PDF. Subtl keeps the record; it does not guarantee legal enforceability.
Use Ours or Bring Your Own
Every Subtl account includes a professionally written acknowledgment ready to go with zero setup. On Growth and Pro plans upload your own legally drafted agreement and Subtl collects signatures on your behalf.
Protect your business before it needs protecting. Every sub. Every time. Automatically.
Lien waivers, signed.
Automatically.
Every job assignment and every payment generates a conditional progress waiver — pre-filled with the job info. The sub just signs.
This is how you protect every dollar that leaves your account. Most contractors skip the paperwork because chasing signatures is brutal. Subtl removes the chase: a waiver is created the moment a sub is assigned to a job, and a fresh one is created for every payment you log. Your sub signs it on their phone in their portal — and it's stored in your account forever.
Auto-Generated on Assignment
The moment you assign a sub to a job, a conditional progress waiver is created — pre-filled with the job name, contract amount, and date. Zero typing. Zero spreadsheets.
One Per Payment, No Chasing
Every payment you log triggers a fresh waiver for that exact amount and date. The sub is notified instantly through their portal and by SMS. You never have to ask.
Signed in the Sub's Portal
Subs draw their signature on their phone in seconds. Every waiver is stored permanently with the typed name, signature image, and timestamp — ready to download anytime.
Protect every dollar you pay out. Every job. Every payment. Automatically.
Subtl provides document generation and record-keeping. It does not provide legal advice. Consult your attorney regarding enforceability in your state.

Built for the way real jobs run.
Small details that take the friction out of every workday — and the panic out of every audit.

Every payment triggers a lien waiver your sub signs digitally before the next dollar moves. Conditional waivers per payment, an unconditional waiver at close — all stored, timestamped, audit-ready.

Scope changed mid-job? Log a change order, your sub signs off before the work, and the contract total updates everywhere automatically. Both parties have a shared, signed record.
Job photos
Subs upload progress shots and punch-list pics, organized by job.
In-job messages

Weekly availability check-in
