WHO WE SERVE

The Compliance Oversight Platform That Shows You What Your Contractors Are Actually Doing

You fund the project. You set the compliance requirements. But once the notice to proceed goes out, you are relying on contractors to self-report their own compliance. SkillSmart gives public agencies and project owners a direct line of sight into prevailing wage, certified payroll, apprenticeship, and workforce data across every contractor and every tier on every project in your capital program.

YOUR WORLD

You Set the Rules. You Just Cannot See Whether Anyone Is Following Them.

Your agency requires prevailing wage compliance on every capital project. Davis-Bacon, state prevailing wage, maybe both. Certified payroll submissions are due weekly. Apprenticeship utilization goals are written into the project specifications. Business engagement and participation targets are part of the contract. But right now, the only way you know whether any of that is actually happening is a PDF that a contractor emails to you at the end of the month.

Your compliance staff is reviewing certified payrolls by hand, one row at a time, comparing wage rates against a printed wage determination. They are tracking business participation in a spreadsheet that three people update independently. When the city council or a federal oversight agency asks for a status report, your team spends days pulling numbers from different systems and hoping they reconcile.

SkillSmart replaces that manual oversight process with a platform that your contractors submit through directly. You see compliance status in real time, across every project and every contractor, without waiting for reports or chasing emails.

YOUR CHALLENGES

The Oversight Gaps That Put Public Projects at Risk

Contractor Self-Reporting Is Not Oversight

When your only source of compliance data is the contractor’s own submissions, you are trusting the entity responsible for compliance to also be the entity verifying it. Certified payrolls arrive late, in inconsistent formats, with no automated validation. By the time your staff reviews them manually, the project has moved on and any violations are weeks old.

Community Impact Data Is Scattered

Your agency has commitments to the community: local hiring goals, business engagement and participation targets, apprenticeship utilization requirements. But the data to prove you are meeting those commitments lives in separate spreadsheets, contractor reports, and quarterly summaries that your staff compiles by hand. When a council member or oversight body asks for numbers, your team scrambles.

Federal Funding Adds Federal Scrutiny

IIJA and IRA funding come with enhanced compliance requirements. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, apprenticeship provisions, and reporting obligations that go beyond what state or local projects require. If your agency accepted federal funds, you accepted responsibility for documenting compliance to federal standards. Spreadsheets and email-based oversight are not going to pass a federal audit.

HOW SKILLSMART HELPS

One Platform for Prevailing Wage Oversight and Community Impact Reporting

InSight IQ Prevailing Wage Dashboard

Contractors Submit Directly Into Your Oversight System

Every contractor on your project submits certified payroll data through SkillSmart. The platform validates each submission against the project’s wage determination before it reaches your staff. Your compliance team does not need to open PDFs, compare rates manually, or chase late submissions. They see a dashboard showing which contractors have submitted, which are late, and which have compliance flags. Automated reminders and escalation alerts handle the follow-up.

Community Impact, Workforce, and Business Engagement and Participation Reporting

SkillSmart tracks local hiring participation, M/WBE and DBE utilization, apprenticeship hours, and workforce demographics alongside prevailing wage data. All of it comes from the same certified payroll submissions your contractors already file. Generate community impact reports for council presentations, federal grant reporting, or public transparency dashboards without compiling data from multiple sources.

Federal Funding Compliance Built In

IIJA and IRA projects carry enhanced compliance documentation requirements. SkillSmart tags federally-funded projects with the appropriate rule set, tracks Davis-Bacon prevailing wage alongside any state requirements, monitors apprenticeship provisions, and produces audit-ready documentation formatted for federal oversight agencies. When a federal auditor asks for records, your agency produces the package in minutes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Compliance Oversight FAQs for Public Agencies and Owners

Answers to the questions municipal agencies, project owners, and capital program directors ask most about prevailing wage oversight, contractor accountability, and community impact reporting.

What is government agency compliance software for prevailing wage?

Government agency compliance software gives public agencies and project owners a platform to oversee prevailing wage, certified payroll, and workforce compliance across every contractor on their capital projects. Instead of reviewing contractor-submitted PDFs manually, agencies see validated compliance data in real time. SkillSmart handles contractor submissions, wage determination validation, and compliance documentation in one system.

How does SkillSmart give agencies oversight into contractor compliance?

Contractors at every tier submit certified payroll data directly through SkillSmart. Each submission is validated against the project’s wage determination before it appears on the agency dashboard. Agency staff see real-time status for every contractor: who has submitted, who is late, and who has compliance flags. Automated reminders and escalation alerts reduce the time your team spends chasing paperwork.

Can SkillSmart track business engagement and participation on our projects?

Yes. SkillSmart tracks business engagement and participation, local hire, and workforce demographic data alongside prevailing wage compliance. All of it is captured from certified payroll submissions, so there is no separate data collection process. Your agency can generate participation reports by project, date range, contractor, or trade classification.

What community impact reports can agencies generate from SkillSmart?

Agencies can generate reports showing local workforce participation, business engagement and participation, utilization rates, apprenticeship hours and placement, and workforce demographics by project or across the entire capital program. Reports can be formatted for council presentations, federal grant compliance, public transparency requirements, or internal program reviews. All data is pulled from verified certified payroll submissions.

Does SkillSmart handle IIJA and federally-funded project requirements?

Yes. Projects funded by IIJA, IRA, or other federal sources are tagged with enhanced compliance rule sets. SkillSmart tracks Davis-Bacon prevailing wage alongside state requirements, monitors apprenticeship provisions, and produces audit documentation formatted for federal oversight agencies. When a federal auditor requests records, the agency generates the full package on demand.

Do contractors need to change their workflow to use SkillSmart?

The transition is straightforward. Contractors submit certified payroll data through the SkillSmart portal instead of emailing PDFs or spreadsheets. Most contractors find it faster than their previous process because the platform auto-populates project-level data and validates entries before submission. SkillSmart provides onboarding support for contractors and their subcontractors at no additional cost to the agency.

How long does it take to implement SkillSmart for a public agency?

Most agencies are fully operational in 2 to 4 weeks. A dedicated compliance specialist configures your projects, wage determinations, workforce tracking rules, and reporting templates. Contractor onboarding happens in parallel. If your agency has active projects with existing compliance data, that data can be imported for continuity.
