Chasing contractors should not be part of your job description
You report an issue, assign a contractor, and then spend weeks chasing progress by email and phone. Evidence arrives as blurry photos in WhatsApp messages. Completion dates slip without notice. Brocade gives contractors a structured way to update you -- without you having to chase.
Complete contractor and issue management
From issue report to contractor assignment to evidence collection. Every step tracked, every contractor accountable.
6-stage issue lifecycle
Every issue progresses through a clear lifecycle: reported, triaged, assigned, in progress, evidence submitted, and closed. No ambiguity about where things stand.
Magic-link contractor access
Contractors receive a secure magic link by email. They update their assigned issues and upload evidence without creating an account or remembering a password.
Evidence collection
Contractors upload photographic evidence directly to the issue. Every upload is timestamped and checksummed, creating a tamper-proof record of completed work.
Automated notifications
Email notifications for new assignments, status changes, approaching deadlines, and overdue issues. Everyone stays informed without manual chasing.
SLA tracking
Set response and resolution SLAs for different issue priorities. Brocade tracks time elapsed and flags SLA breaches automatically.
Full audit trail
Every status change, comment, evidence upload, and assignment is recorded with timestamps and user attribution. Complete accountability from start to finish.
