Give your security team control, without the manual paperwork

9ID is built for industrial and enterprise sites that host external workers at scale — manufacturing, food and beverage, chemicals, utilities, and logistics — especially where subcontractor chains and strict compliance (VCA, ISO, site inductions) are the norm.

An AI security agent for contractor management automates the full contractor arrival workflow: verifying subcontractor companies and individual workers, checking compliance documents against live registries, screening against sanctions and site rules, and clearing approved contractors at the gate. On 9ID, checks run before arrival; security teams focus on exceptions while the agent handles repetitive vetting and check-in steps.

9ID verifies every tier in the subcontractor chain — main contractor, subcontractor, and individual workers — not just whoever reaches the gate. Company and worker requirements must both pass before access is granted, and expired certificates or block-list hits revoke access automatically.

At company level, 9ID checks VAT, business registration, insurance, and sanctions screening against live third-party databases — not just uploaded PDFs. At worker level, it verifies ID, safety certificates, work permits, and site-specific inductions. Requirements are configurable per site and zone.

Yes. Contractor firms assign workers, upload documents, and renew expiring certificates through self-service onboarding on their own device. Documents are automatically verified and workers are prompted to complete site inductions before travel — so your security and admin teams handle exceptions, not data entry for every arrival.

Cleared contractors scan a QR code at the gate and pass through in seconds. Every compliance check already ran before arrival; guards only handle exceptions. 9ID performs a final real-time check and can trigger your access hardware to open.

Manual contractor gate registration often takes about 12 minutes per person. With 9ID, verification happens before arrival on the contractor's own device, so at the gate a cleared worker scans a QR code and is through in about 20 seconds — cutting morning queues and keeping projects on schedule.

Contractors need unsupervised access to work zones for days or months, which means heavy compliance at both company and individual level — certificates, insurance, training, and site-specific requirements, all verified before arrival. Visitor workflows are lighter and reception-focused; trucker workflows prioritize fast yard throughput for short dock visits.

Access is revoked automatically when certificates expire, block-list matches occur, or company or worker requirements no longer pass. Non-compliant contractors cannot check in at the gate — the issue is surfaced before they travel to site, not at the perimeter.

Yes. Every contractor check-in leaves a timestamped, tamper-proof record — who, which company, what qualifications — exportable in minutes. 9ID is designed for enterprise compliance with encryption, role-based access, full audit logging, and certifications including ISO 27001 and ISO 27701.
