Description

Novato serves as a compliance platform tailored for Australian general contractors overseeing subcontractors in construction environments, streamlining processes by eliminating the need for spreadsheets and manual license verifications through a single, audit-ready system. It not only checks but also verifies subcontractor trade licenses against real-time Australian state registers (including NSW and QLD, with plans for expansion), highlighting licenses that are set to expire before the completion of a project — ensuring proactive compliance. In addition to license management, Novato offers features such as AI-driven Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) creation, Right to Work validation, digitized asbestos registers, tracking of machinery and equipment, management plans for workplace health and safety, reporting of psychosocial hazards in line with Part 6A, toolbox discussions, incident documentation, and site induction processes. The platform is designed with recognition of the diverse regulatory requirements across various states, including specific OHS/WHS frameworks in jurisdictions like Victoria and Western Australia. Novato empowers contractors to demonstrate with confidence that each subcontractor on-site not only meets all licensing and insurance requirements but is also properly inducted and compliant with relevant regulations. Ultimately, Novato aims to enhance accountability and transparency in the compliance landscape for the construction industry.

Description

Yamate simplifies the administrative tasks for independent Australian tradespeople and small teams, going beyond just providing quotes.

Taxes and GST are set aside as you receive payments, allowing you to handle your own estimates. Manage payroll efficiently by adhering to ATO withholding schedules, ensuring superannuation is calculated on the correct earnings, and generating detailed payslips. Stay proactive about your licenses, insurance, and Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) to prevent any lapses, with customizable SWMS prepared for your review and approval. Transition your existing records easily by uploading photos of invoices and receipts. Data can be seamlessly integrated into Xero or exported as simple CSV files. Designed with solo practitioners in mind, Yamate also accommodates teams, all for a consistent rate of $19 per month with no long-term commitments.
