The bit that usually bites is the vendors.
Directors' liability, insurance gaps, expired public liability and workers compensation certificates. The names are in a spreadsheet, but the proof is not. Vissibl gives your operation one place where vendor evidence is owned, current and audit-ready.
The incident is on site. The certificate is six months out of date.
A subcontractor is working on your project. Someone asks for their current public liability. The project manager opens a folder, then a second folder, then a group chat. The certificate they find is from last year. The renewal was sent, but nobody attached it.
Most vendor managers we speak to do not lack relationships. They lack a single, current record of what each vendor proved.
One place for vendors, certificates and proof.
Vendor ownership
Assign every vendor to a named owner. Insurance, licences, certifications and contract terms live in one profile, not across inboxes and shared drives.
Expiry alerts
Certificates have end dates. Vissibl flags upcoming expiries so renewals are chased before the project starts, not after the incident.
Audit trail ready
Version history, approvals and sign-offs are recorded as evidence is updated. Regulators, insurers and clients see the full timeline.
Built for construction, maritime, logistics, energy and facilities management. Australian-owned, with local support.
Directors are liable for the vendors they did not check.
Chain of responsibility laws, WHS obligations and contract terms mean the liability does not stop at the subcontractor's door. The spreadsheet of names is not a defence. The proof is.
How many vendors are you still chasing certificates for in a spreadsheet?
If the answer is more than one, the risk is already live. Build a system that owns the evidence, and let your people own the vendor relationships.

Common questions.
What is vendor risk management software?
Vendor risk management software tracks the compliance, insurance, certifications and risk profile of every organisation you rely on. For operational and industrial businesses, that means subcontractors, suppliers, logistics partners and service providers with current certificates and signed agreements.
What certificates should we track for vendors?
At minimum: public liability insurance, workers compensation, relevant licences, and any ISO or industry certifications your contracts require. The expiry dates are the problem. Most breaches are not missing certificates, they are expired certificates that nobody noticed.
How does Vissibl keep vendor evidence current?
Vissibl stores each vendor's evidence, assigns an owner, links it to the relevant contract or project and alerts the team before expiry. When a certificate is renewed, the new version replaces the old one without chasing emails.
Can we use Vissibl for subcontractors in construction or maritime?
Yes. Vissibl is built for operational and industrial businesses in Australia and the GCC. The platform supports construction, maritime, logistics, energy and facilities management vendor profiles out of the box.
