What Data can I see on bidders with the COMPASS Integration?

When adding bidders either through the Procore Construction Network or your Directory, you can click on a company name to open a side panel and see Qualifications data on the bidder.

• The Qualifications data is divided into three categories:

  • The Overview tab provides general business information such as office locations, union status, business certifications, trades, and licenses. This information comes from the Procore Construction Network.

  • The Qualifications tab contains data that comes from the COMPASS data connection. This is data submitted by vendors once a year into COMPASS. It includes their EMR History for the last three years, Average Contract Size for the previous year, Annual Revenue Bucket for the previous year, Health and Safety Contact information, and QScore. It also contains their Qualification Status, Project and Aggregate Limit, and Qualification expiration date if available in COMPASS.

    • COMPASS subscribers can also view a vendor's COMPASS project history while in the Qualifications tab of the side panel. This data includes up to five (5) current and five (5) completed projects that the vendor submitted to their COMPASS account.

      The following information will be available for each project where available:
      • Project Name
      • Subcontract Value
      • Location
      • (Estimated) Completion Date
      • GC / Owner
      • Scope of Work / CSI Code
         
  • The Procore Activity tab contains data compiled from Procore projects such as their total and active count of projects in the past three years, most common project types and the Change Order vs Contract rate in the past three years. It also includes the number of OSHA inspections and violations for the past three years, the number of mechanics liens filed by or against the company in the past three years, and number of bankruptcies filed by this company in the past three years, and the number of tax liens filed by the contractor in the past three years.

• Data from COMPASS can also be viewed in the Procore Directory by ensuring the following:

  • The company name and address in Procore match the company name and address used in the vendor’s COMPASS account.
    OR
  • Add the EIN numbers for the vendor in your Procore Directory.

What is the COMPASS QScore?

• 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.

What is EMR?

• 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.

What does the Change Order vs Contracts data mean?

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.

Can Customers without a COMPASS subscription access COMPASS data in Procore?

Yes, customers without a COMPASS subscription will have a slightly different experience in Procore. Users will be able to view the following public data on vendors when adding bidders from the Directory and from the Procore Construction Network:
