Veriforce

What Veriforce does

Veriforce is a private SaaS company providing supply chain risk and contractor compliance management software to organizations operating in high-hazard industries. Its platform serves 3,200 hiring clients and 140,000+ contractors across 140+ countries, addressing contractor prequalification, safety qualification tracking, regulatory compliance under PHMSA, DOT, OSHA, and FDA frameworks, operator qualification, worksite access control, and ESG monitoring. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, the company operates support offices in Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Australia and was previously known as PEC (Professional Examination for Contractors).

The VeriforceONE unified platform consolidates the company's regional and acquired product brands — Compliance Pro (US), ComplyWorks (Global/Canada), VeriSource (US OQ), CHAS (UK), WorkerPass, Global Worker Pass, and Highwire (construction capital projects, acquired October 2025) — behind a single login with customizable dashboards and integrated reporting. Core technical components include a prequalification engine accessing the 140,000+ contractor network, an OQ platform managing 1,000,000+ active qualifications and 80,000+ qualified individuals, a learning management system containing 400+ training courses, and predictive safety modeling built on the company's historical data with a claimed 92% accuracy in incident prediction. The most recent technical addition is AI Findings for Inspections, a generative-AI voice-to-report tool launched in June 2026. A network of 7,000+ authorized instructors and evaluators delivers the proprietary training content and drives community-led adoption.

Veriforce operates a subscription SaaS model with annual billing, tiered by region and employee count, supplemented by professional services revenue from audits, consulting, system integrations, and OQ compliance support, plus training revenue from instructor-led and on-demand courses. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales to large hiring clients, inside sales across regional offices, web-based self-service for SMB contractor subscriptions, and a partner marketplace. The company has executed an aggressive roll-up acquisition strategy and is currently owned by Apax Partners following its 2024 purchase from Thoma Bravo.
