Use cases

For the moment someone asks for proof.

Credbase fits the everyday jobs that never quite fit inside a folder. Supplier onboarding, subcontractor readiness, vendor renewals, tender packs and client evidence requests, all in one tidy workflow.

The pattern underneath

Different jobs. Same three moves.

Every use case below looks different on the surface. Onboarding a new supplier feels nothing like assembling a tender pack, and neither feels like chasing a lapsed insurance certificate. Underneath, though, the shape is identical: record what you rely on, keep it current and share it when someone asks.

That is why one narrow product can cover all of them. Credbase does not ship a bespoke workflow for every scenario. It gives you a strong record and a calm way to move a document from missing, to on file, to inside a client-ready pack. The scenarios below are the ones teams reach for first.

Supplier onboarding

Onboard new suppliers without inbox chaos.

Send one collection link, receive the right documents, review with AI assistance and file everything against the supplier record.

  • Structured request template for new suppliers
  • AI suggests document type and expiry on upload
  • Reviewer approves before anything is saved
Subcontractor readiness

Keep site-ready subcontractors, well, ready.

Track insurance, right to work, health and safety and skill cards in one profile. Renewals go out on your schedule, before jobs are put at risk.

  • Per-trade document checklists
  • Automatic renewal reminders
  • Escalations for lapsed documents
Vendor renewals

Never miss another certificate renewal.

Credbase watches every expiry date and nudges the right contact before it lapses. Your record stays current without a shared spreadsheet.

  • Central view of expiring documents
  • Owner-assigned renewals
  • Full audit trail of what changed and when
Audit and tender evidence packs

Assemble a proper evidence pack in minutes.

When an auditor, buyer or bid team asks for proof, build a branded pack with cover note, expiry summary and only the documents that belong. Share by controlled link.

  • Pack templates by client or opportunity
  • One shareable link, no login for the recipient
  • Track when the pack was opened

Client evidence requests

Answer proof requests the same working day.

When a client, auditor or buyer asks for evidence, open the company, tick the documents and send. Credbase does the packaging.

  • Reusable evidence packs per client
  • Expiry summary on every cover page
  • Signed, short-lived download links
Partner and reseller records

Keep every partner in good standing.

Standardise the documents you collect from partners, resellers and referral channels and see readiness across the whole network at a glance.

  • Uniform document standards across partners
  • Portfolio view of network readiness
  • Simple exports for QBRs and reviews

Not sure where you fit?

Most teams start with a single use case and grow from there.

Why one tool for all of them

Because the alternative is five half-tools stitched together.

Teams that try to solve these jobs one by one end up with an onboarding form here, a renewal spreadsheet there and a folder of ad-hoc packs everywhere. Credbase collapses the whole thing back into a single record.
