Billy adds vendor prequalification to Procore integration

Billy expanded its Procore integration to add vendor prequalification, giving construction teams a single workflow for subcontractor risk, from vetting vendors to monitoring compliance. The update is now available to Billy customers using Procore and to new Procore users of Billy.

Why it matters: - The expanded integration gives construction teams a fuller subcontractor risk workflow inside Procore. - Billy now connects vendor prequalification, compliance tracking and project workflows in one place. - Regional and mid-market general contractors can cut down on fragmented vendor risk processes.

What happened: - Billy announced an expansion of its integration with Procore Technologies to include vendor prequalification. - The update extends an integration that has been in place since 2021. - Billy and Procore now offer a more complete view of subcontractor risk inside the Procore platform. - The company said the feature is now generally available to all Billy customers using Procore and to new Procore users of Billy.

The details: - Billy sends prequalification requests at scale and collects structured data on financials, workforce capacity, safety records, bonding and references. - Approved vendors and their contacts sync automatically into the Procore directory. - Billy handles ongoing requalification on a set schedule. - Project teams can search company-prequalified vendors in Procore, confirm status and add vetted vendors to bid lists. - Prequalified vendors can be added to projects and awarded contracts in Procore. - Billy starts tracking project-specific compliance requirements as soon as commitments are issued. - Teams can view real-time vendor compliance inside Procore without leaving the project. - The integration syncs vendor prequalification status from Billy into the Procore directory and ties compliance data to the correct directory record. - Field teams can verify vendor compliance in real time once a contract is in place. - Office teams keep control over risk and can monitor whether properly insured contractors are active on the jobsite. - Billy is offering the feature through its Partner Tile on the Procore App Marketplace and at Billy's website.

Between the lines: - The product update aims to replace a patchwork process that often lives across email, separate systems and manual directory updates. - Billy is positioning the integration around how regional builders actually source and manage vendors. - The goal is to move vendor risk checks closer to the point where work is awarded and executed. - CEO Nyasha Gutsa said the workflow was built so the full lifecycle lives inside Procore, from vendor application through payment. - Gardner Builders Risk Manager Kelsey Duggan said thorough prequalification helps trade partners show safety and financial stability to clients asking how contractors manage risk transfer.

What's next: - Billy expects the expanded integration to help teams carry vendor compliance from preconstruction into active projects. - Construction teams using Procore can now use Billy to manage the full vendor lifecycle, including discovery, qualification, execution and monitoring. - Billy is continuing to lean on the Procore App Marketplace to reach new users and existing customers.

The bottom line: - Billy is turning its Procore integration into a broader subcontractor risk system, not just a compliance tracker.
