Contractors and Vendors Manage Themselves

Reduced workload for your staff — contractors and vendors handle their own.

Self-service company management

Contractors and vendors maintain their own company info and users — cutting customer service inquiries and workload for the power company.

They see only their own work

Work Releases, Permits, Daily Reports, and Storm Tickets they are assigned to — search results filter automatically by permission.

They run their own jobs

Contractors and vendors can add Job Prints, Permits, and Daily Report files for their contracted work.

Files go straight to the job

Job prints, permit files, and daily report photos attach directly to the record — no more email or text-message attachments.

Storm Contractor and Vendor roles are scoped even tighter

Strictly to storm work.

Built for Storm Response

When the lights go out, EForeman keeps restoration work organized.

Dedicated storm workflow

Storm Tickets and Storm Daily Reports run separately from routine work, so restoration never gets tangled with day-to-day jobs.

Storm-only contractor/vendor access

Storm Contractor and Vendor roles are strictly tied to storm work for increased control.

Instant notifications

Every action can be emailed and/or texted to the affected users — everyone knows what is happening on-site.

Clean billing close-out

Billing users review Storm Tickets marked as Billed and close them when paid.

GPS Accountability in the Field

Verifiable location data on every submission.

GPS on every form submission

User GPS coordinates can be captured, stored, and mapped each time a form is submitted — verifiable location data for contractor and vendor updates.

Flexible permissions

Location capture can be required, optional, or disabled — per user or globally — so tracking policies adjust as needed.

Mapped in the audit log

Every logged entry contains details including date/time, originating page, changed form data, and a Google map of the recorded coordinates.

Know where every report came from — without calling the crew.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Protection your IT department will sign off on.

Active Directory single sign-on

Corporate staff on the VPN can log in automatically via Active Directory groups with no individual accounts.

Multi-factor authentication

MFA by email and/or text message, configurable to your policy.

Password policy controls

Length, letters, numbers, special characters, expiration, and lockout time — all configurable.

Military-grade encryption

One-way password encryption plus a unique per-site key layered with global, method, and user-level keys.

Safe file handling

File uploads are extension-checked and stored where no URL can reach them.

Granular permissions

Control who views or edits down to a single form field, page, role, or user.

Reliability That Scales

Grows with your operation and maintains itself.

Scales with you

Multiple web and database servers can be clustered to handle a growing number of users and data over time.

High performance

Frequently used data is cached in memory, cutting database queries and speeding up common operations.

Self-maintaining

Inactive and Closed records archive and delete automatically; database backups run on schedule and delete old copies. Backup servers can retrieve and restore files and the database automatically on a schedule for off-site backup and fail-over.

Complete audit trail

Every form submission is logged with details including date/time, originating page, changed form data, and map — a full history of how data got to its current state.

Your Brand, Your Integration

EForeman blends in with your site.

Match your corporate appearance

Site colors and form-field sizes can be changed at the click of a button; headers, footers, and side panels take your own HTML — logo, menus, links and all.

Add your own pages

Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, About Us — custom pages display inside your branded frame.

Link straight to the data

Open User Profiles, Work Releases, Permits, Storm Tickets, Daily Reports, and more from your corporate site with a simple URL — for browsing or programmatic retrieval for report generation.

International-ready

Date/times are adjusted for time zone & DST and displayed in the mm-dd-yyyy format specified by each user's browser locale or user profile preferences, and are configurable with site-wide settings.
