New software automates subcontractor compliance tracking and connects it directly to the payment approval process, helping construction companies reduce risk on every project.

BATON ROUGE, LA / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2026 / Paperless Environments®, a Louisiana-based provider of document management and AP workflow automation software for the construction industry, today announced the launch of ClearToPay™, a new solution that automates compliance and insurance tracking across every subcontractor, project, and location.

Construction companies routinely track dozens of compliance requirements per subcontractor – insurance certificates, licenses, lien waivers, certified payroll, W-9s, and background checks, among others. Most compliance tools stop at collecting and storing those documents. ClearToPay™ goes further: it connects real-time compliance status directly to the payment approval process, so a non-compliant vendor cannot be paid by accident.

“Most systems track documents. ClearToPay™ protects payments,” said Seth Dawson, President and CEO of Paperless Environments®. “That’s the distinction that matters. Our customers don’t just want to know where a document is – they want to know, with certainty, that they’re compliant before any money goes out the door. ClearToPay™ gives them that certainty automatically, across every subcontractor and every project.”

ClearToPay™ includes:

  • Insurance Tracking: Alerts teams and subcontractors before coverage lapses, shows compliance status at invoice review, and uses AI to automatically read and populate vendor insurance records.

  • Lien Waiver Tracking: Generates the correct waiver in the correct amount, and lets subcontractors submit waivers electronically through a self-service portal.

  • Certified Payroll Tracking: Flags overdue reports and allows subcontractors to upload directly through the portal.

  • Custom Compliance Tracking: Lets companies track anything that matters to them, from W-9s to background checks to safety certifications, with no development cycle required.

  • Commitments Tracking: Syncs subcontracts/POs with your ERP and flags when a commitment goes active with no insurance on file.

  • Business/Contractor License Tracking (coming soon)

  • Subcontractor Pay Apps (coming soon)

The construction industry loses significant time and money to compliance gaps. Contractors report waiting an average of 83 days to collect payment, and more than 90,000 mechanic’s liens were filed in a recent 12-month period, according to DocJoist’s Construction Payment Statistics 2026 report. ClearToPay™ is designed to help construction companies close that gap by preventing compliance issues before they turn into costly disputes, delays, or losses.

ClearToPay™ is available now for construction companies of any size. Interested organizations can request a personalized demo at paperlessenvironments.com or by calling 866-370-0877.
