The Challenge

Common vendor onboarding challenges facing real estate businesses.

Property managers using unverified tradespeople because the onboarding process is too slow

No centralised tradesperson directory, with each property manager maintaining their own contact list

Insurance and licence expiry tracking done manually or not at all, creating liability exposure

Landlords complaining about tradesperson quality because there is no performance monitoring or feedback system

Implementation

How we implement vendor onboarding for your real estate business.

Tradesperson and Supplier Registration

Create a digital registration portal for maintenance tradespeople, cleaning companies, photographers, and other service providers used by the property management and sales teams. Collect licences, insurance, ABN details, and service area information.

✓ Tools: Typeform, Google Drive, Make

Licence and Insurance Verification

Automatically verify trade licences against state authority databases, check insurance certificate currency, and confirm ABN status. Flag any documentation gaps and prevent unverified tradespeople from being assigned to properties.

✓ Tools: Make, Google Sheets, ABR Lookup

Landlord Compliance Routing

Route tradesperson approvals considering landlord preferences and property requirements. Some landlords specify preferred tradespeople while others delegate to the property manager. Capture and respect these preferences within the approval workflow.

✓ Tools: Rex, Make, Slack

Performance and Compliance Tracking

Monitor tradesperson response times, work quality ratings, and pricing competitiveness. Track insurance and licence expiry dates with automated renewal reminders. Generate quarterly performance reports for vendor review meetings.

✓ Tools: Google Sheets, Make, Gmail
