 Tip

COMPASS subscribers can also see this data when adding bidders from your Directory if the company's EIN number is in your Directory. Follow steps below.

Some. Users can view information in the Overview and Procore Activity tabs, as well as the QScore in the Qualifications tab.

If you cannot see COMPASS data when adding bidders from your Directory, the EIN likely hasn't been added to the company record in your Company level Directory.

For companies already in your Directory, COMPASS data syncs automatically when key information matches. To enable this sync, ensure the information aligns by following the steps below.

  1. Navigate to the Company level Directory tool.
  2. Click the Companies tab.
  3. Next to the company, click Edit.
  4. Ensure the following fields match what is in COMPASS:
    1. Company Name
    2. Address
    3. Locate the 'Entity Type' and select EIN.
      1. Enter the EIN number next to the 'Entity Type'.
  5. Click Save.
    COMPASS information will sync instantly and be available in the Bidding tool.
 Note
If you do not have the EIN number, you can follow these same steps, but update the Company Name and Address to match exactly what is in COMPASS. However, this method takes at least three days to sync and process addresses.
  • The COMPASS QScore is COMPASS’s assessment of Subcontractor Risk based on key Business, Finance, and Health & Safety variables. A numerical score between 1.0 (Lowest Risk) and 7.9 (Highest Risk) is assigned by COMPASS to represent that risk.
  • This QScore is available for all companies registered with COMPASS that have submitted their business and financial information to the COMPASS application. 
  • This QScore is available publicly and may be used by any user searching for bidders without the need for a subscription to COMPASS.
  • EMR stands for Experience Modification Rate. It is a numerical representation used in the field of workers' compensation insurance. It is a factor that influences an employer's premium based on their historical workplace injury and illness claims compared to their industry average. 
  • The standard Experience Modification Rating is 1, which means that the business is about as safe as the average business. If the business had a few more safety incidents than most businesses in the industry, the EMR will be higher than 1. 
  • EMR is typically used to assess the Health & Safety risk for a vendor in the construction industry. Generally, an EMR of 1 or lower is considered good.

Change Order vs Contracts Rate is a percentage that represents the contractor's average change in price from the original contract based on change orders. The percentage displayed in the application corresponds to all projects known to Procore that this vendor was on in the past three years.

All businesses listed on the Procore Construction Network include relevant information about the business and the trades and services they provide.
