# Novato

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/561817/Novato

> Novato is a compliance automation platform designed to manage and verify subcontractor licenses, insurance, and induction cards for construction projects. It supports general contractors, builders, and construction companies across all states and territories in Australia. The platform helps streamline the process of maintaining compliance documentation for projects ranging from small fitouts to large-scale developments requiring formal WHS Management Plans.

The platform conducts real-time verification against government registers, ensuring each license is checked against the appropriate state or territory registry when a document is uploaded. Its Smart Approve technology evaluates documents against project requirements, automatically approving straightforward submissions while flagging mismatches, expired credentials, or missing documentation for further review. It generates compliant Safe Work Method Statements with hierarchy-of-controls documentation, creates costed Variation Orders with electronic signature functionality, and manages Requests for Information with timestamped responses. Continuous monitoring tracks credential expiry dates and sends alerts before they lapse. A QR code-based sign-in system maintains real-time records of personnel on-site.

Subcontractors can upload documents using single-use links sent via email or text, eliminating the need for account creation. All verification decisions are logged with timestamps and evidence of registry matches, creating an exportable audit trail in PDF or CSV format for regulatory, insurance, or legal purposes. Documents are encrypted during transit and storage, with hosting infrastructure located in Australia. Custom branding automatically applies company logos and details to generated documents. Compliance requirements are configured to meet state-specific regulations rather than relying on generic national standards.
