Who it's for · Subcontractors

Keep work moving.
Demonstrate what you delivered.

Subcontractor Project Managers and Foremen. Background gives subcontractor teams workface intelligence — constraints identified early, safety exposure surfaced before it becomes an incident, and evidence of what actually happened when it matters.

The subcontractor challenge

Subcontractors are responsible for delivery. They are often the last to know what is blocking it.

Access not available. Plant not ready. Interface not cleared. Subcontractors often cannot start work because of constraints outside their control — and they often cannot demonstrate what caused the delay when it matters commercially. Background identifies constraints early and records what actually happened.

Why can't the crew start work?
What is blocking the workface?
Can we demonstrate the delay was not our fault?
Is the exclusion zone creating a safety risk?
What does the evidence show happened on site?
Are we going to make the programme commitment?
Questions Background answers — grounded in what actually happened on site.

What subcontractor teams receive

Intelligence for the workface.

Immediate
Workface constraint identified
Access blocked, interface not cleared, plant unavailable. Background identifies the constraint and routes it to the Foreman — with the evidence of what is causing it and who needs to act.
Immediate
Safety exposure — action required
Exclusion zone exposure, supervision gap, people-plant interface risk. Foreman notified immediately — with the specific RAMS control measures that apply and the intervention required.
Daily
Workface intelligence
What the crew achieved today. Where output fell short of plan and why. What is needed tomorrow to get back on programme. Delivered at shift end — not compiled from memory.
Daily
Constraint evidence
When work was delayed by factors outside the subcontractor's control, Background has already recorded it — camera evidence, workforce data, access logs. Evidence that can be used when it matters commercially.
Weekly
Performance summary
Output against programme. Constraints encountered. Safety performance. Interventions completed. A weekly picture of what was delivered — grounded in evidence, not self-reporting.
On demand
CompoundLM™ — ask anything
What was the access situation on Tuesday morning? What does the camera evidence show about the workface at 09:00? What constraints were recorded this week? Grounded in project evidence.

For subcontractors

Background is successful when subcontractors spend less time explaining what happened and more time delivering.

Constraints identified early. Workfaces kept productive. Evidence already compiled when it is needed. That is what workface intelligence looks like for subcontractor teams.

Book a demo How it works
Constraints identified early
Background identifies workface constraints as they form — not when the crew has already lost half a shift waiting for access that was never coming.
Evidence when it matters
When a delay needs to be demonstrated or a variation supported, the evidence is already there. Timestamped, traceable and grounded in what the cameras and data actually show.
No additional reporting
Background does not ask subcontractor teams to self-report. It observes what is happening and delivers intelligence — without adding to the workload of people who are already busy delivering.
