If you sub-out work, your day looks like this.

📞

Ring 5 subbies for one shift

Three didn't pick up. One says yes then ghosts you on the day. The fifth quotes double.

📧

Email chains nobody reads

You forwarded the brief to a WhatsApp group. People reply with rates over text, in DM, by email — you can't compare any of it.

📋

Spreadsheets nobody updates

Who responded? Who got the job? Who finished it on time? You'd have to ask three people to find out.

How GetASub fixes it

Three steps. From "we need cover" to "awarded" in hours.

Post the job

Title, location, dates, brief. Pick whether it's a project, minor works, or bid support. 60 seconds tops.

Partners get notified

Every approved sub-contractor with the right permissions sees it instantly. They respond with rate, coverage, and notes.

Award the work

Compare every response on one screen. One click awards the job, drafts the email, locks the request, and starts your audit trail.

Three streams · never mixed

Different work, different colour, different rules.

Match each request to the right partners. A 1-man-band shouldn't see your major projects, and major contractors don't need pinging about a single shift.

Projects

Confirmed jobs you've already won

Larger work, role mix, fixed start date. Partners commit and you mobilise.

Labour only

Single operative or short stint

Quick turnarounds, simple briefs — often one person for a shift. Get cover from the partners who handle this stuff fast.

Every feature

Built for the way contractors actually work.

🎯

Direct award

Skip the broadcast. Send a job to one specific partner — useful for relationships you've earned.

🔐

Per-partner permissions

Each partner only sees the work types they can handle. Toggle on/off in one click.

📊

Partner scorecards

Response rate, award rate, on-time delivery — auto-tracked across every job. Spot your best partners fast.

📋

Awards log

Every awarded job, who got it, when. Audit trail for your own records — and for clients who ask.

✉️

Instant email alerts

You get an email the moment a partner responds. No checking the portal manually.

📣

Notify-all blasts

One click BCCs every active partner with a link to a new request. They open it, respond, you decide.

📱

Works on every phone

Site managers can post, suppliers can respond — from any device. No app to install.

🔑

Per-supplier logins

Each partner gets their own account with forced password change on first login. Disable accounts the moment a relationship ends.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does setup take?

Under an hour. We create your hub, you upload your logo, you invite your partners. Most customers are running their first job through it the same afternoon.

Do my sub-contractors need to pay anything?

No. Only you (the contractor posting jobs) pay. Your partners sign in for free with the credentials you issue them.

Can I limit which partners see which jobs?

Yes — that's the whole point. Each partner has permissions for which work types they can see (Projects / Labour only). You can also "direct award" any single job to specific partners only, skipping the broadcast.

What if a partner doesn't respond?

Their scorecard tracks response rate. After a few cold shoulders you can disable their account in one click, or downgrade their permissions so they only see less critical work.

Where's my data stored?

UK/EU regions on Netlify infrastructure. We're GDPR-aware. You can export or delete your data at any time.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly billing, no contract. Cancel from your account page and you won't be billed again. Your data is exportable for 30 days after cancellation.

Is there an app to download?

No app needed — it's a website that works on every phone, tablet, and computer. Add it to your phone's home screen and it behaves like an app.

Can I use my own domain?

Standard plan uses yourcompany.getasub.co.uk. Custom domain support (e.g. partners.yourcompany.co.uk) is available on request — included in your subscription, no extra cost.
