Construction & Manufacturing

Contract Management Built for Construction & Manufacturing

Stop chasing contracts across job site folders, email threads, and spreadsheets. Dock 365 centralizes contracts and tracks subcontractor obligations all in one place, in Microsoft 365.

Why do you need a contract management solution?

Compliance & sign-Off

Crews can't start until layers of safety forms and insurance are signed off. Without a reliable way to confirm coverage first, a gap slips through and surfaces later as a claim or litigation.

Obligation tracking

Every MSA carries its own terms — temp-labor clauses, background-check rules, escalation windows as short as five days. With no reliable way to track what's due when, obligations slip and amendments get buried across multi-year jobs

Visibility and control

Contracts, documents, and pricing live in personal folders and email threads — with no central visibility into what was agreed, what changed, or what's owed. When someone leaves mid-project, the knowledge walks out with them, and what's left is a costly mess to piece together

Vendor coverage gaps

Subcontractors and vendors are not connected to your system, so certificates of insurance and compliance documents get chased by email. Nothing flags an expiry until coverage has already lapsed.

Project visibility

Master supplier and subcontractor agreements span multiple projects, and every job site draws on several at once. When you need every agreement touching a single job site, there's no way to pull it, because nothing's organized by project

Specially built capabilities for Construction & Manufacturing customers

Compliance & sign-Off

Controlled workflows
Turn that pre-mobilisation scramble into a controlled workflow. Issue required agreements for signature, invite vendors to upload compliance documents directly from Dock - so everything is saved and recorded in a central repository. Approval workflows route each item to the right internal person to confirm sign-off before work begins. Because everything is captured in a single repository, anyone can go in and check that coverage is in order

Obligation tracking

Capture and surface automatically
Dock 365 captures obligations, clauses, and renewal or escalation windows at the contract level and surfaces them automatically before they're due, so a five-day price-escalation window or a background-check requirement buried in an MSA never gets missed again.

Visibility and control

Single, central repository
Keep every contract, document, and price in one shared system instead of scattered across personal folders and inboxes. Version history captures what was agreed, what changed, and what's owed — so the full record lives with the contract, not with the person who negotiated it. When someone leaves mid-project, nothing walks out the door: their successor picks up a complete, auditable trail and keeps the job moving.

Vendor coverage gaps

Vendor self serve portal
A self-serve vendor portal lets subcontractors upload certificates of insurance, questionnaires, and licenses directly, without ever touching your internal environment. Automated expiry reminders flag a lapsed COI before it becomes a payment or liability issue, not after.

Project visibility

Project management module
Project management organizes contracts, subcontracts, and compliance documents by project, site, or location, so everything tied to a job sits together instead of scattered across folders. Amendments and change orders stay linked to the original agreement, so the full history of a job is never more than a click away.

Frequently asked questions

  • We don't have any contract management system today, contracts just live in folders and spreadsheets. Is Dock 365 a big lift to get started?

    No. Dock 365 is built natively on Microsoft 365, so it works inside SharePoint, Outlook, and Teams - tools your teams already use every day. Most construction and manufacturing customers move from folders and spreadsheets to a searchable, centralized repository without a disruptive rollout.

  • We manage dozens of MSAs with subcontractors, each with different clauses around labor, background checks, and pricing. How does Dock 365 keep track of that?

    With the help of AI, Dock 365 captures obligations and key clauses at the contract level, and proactively alerts your team before they are due.

  • Our redlining process today is all email, sending a contract to an attorney, waiting for markup, sending it back. Does Dock 365 change that?

    Yes. Contracts can be redlined and negotiated directly in Dock 365, with full version tracking. Native Docusign and Adobesign e-signature integration also means contracts can be executed directly through Dock 365.

  • Is our contract data secure if we bring subcontractors and vendors into the system?

    Yes. Dock 365 runs natively inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, so contract data stays within your existing security, compliance, and permission structure. Subcontracts and vendors can be brought in as guests according to your organisation's permissions. Secure external portals let subcontractors and vendors share documents without giving them broader access to your environment.

    Our contract process didn't fit neatly into the rigid workflows offered by many vendors.

    Dock 365 was the last vendor I looked at, but it quickly became clear it was the right fit
