KPA Unveils Contractor Management to Streamline Third-Party Compliance and Reduce Risk
KPA, a leading provider of workplace environmental, health, and safety (EHS) compliance software, has announced the launch of Contractor Management, a new, cutting-edge software solution developed to manage the complex process of third-party contractor compliance. As more organizations rely on third parties for labor, this innovative product promises to transform the way industries handle contractor compliance, offering a comprehensive suite of features that enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and mitigate risks associated with contractor operations.
As contractor use increases so does organizations’ exposure to risk, with legal, financial, operational, safety, and Environmental Social Governance (ESG) implications. This dynamic has created a sizable market for contractor management software, currently expected to double to more than $4 billion by 2028. Armed with more outsourced labor, it is critical that businesses navigate the regulatory and operational challenges of contractor management efficiently. KPA’s newest Flex Contractor Management software solution will do that while also helping to reduce administrative burden, automate the contractor onboarding process, and provide real-time visibility into contractor performance and compliance.
