What It Is

Cleared 4 is enterprise software for contractor competency and compliance management, covering qualification collection, identity verification, site induction, compliance tracking, and performance auditing from procurement through pre-start readiness. Its core goal is to centralize contractor records and training workflows, allow contractors to self-maintain compliance information, and create a “single source of truth” for organizations—thereby reducing risks in site operations and supply chain management.

Core Features and Deployment

The platform is organized into four modules: Assess, On-board, Manage, and Audit. Assess is used to dynamically evaluate the risk profile of a contractor workforce online; On-board supports multilingual, remote or on-site induction/orientation training; Manage automates and centralizes contractor competency compliance management; and Audit can inspect, report on, and evaluate contractor performance. The pricing page also mentions branded portals, online support, performance reports, on-site training, and competency management. In terms of deployment, the official materials state that the platform is managed by Cleared 4 and includes hosting and updates, so it can generally be understood as a hosted cloud service; no self-hosted option was found.

Pricing and Services

Cleared 4 charges per site per month: INDUCT is $350/month/site, INDUCT Plus is $400/month/site, and CONTRACTOR Management is $1,000/month/site. A notable feature is that it does not charge by clicks, seats, or users; all plans are marked as supporting Unlimited Users, making it suitable for site-based organizations with large numbers of contractors and frequent training needs. For additional services, setup, staff training, content creation, and document verification can be handled by the customer or assisted by Cleared 4, but pricing requires a custom quote based on requirements.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are a relatively complete functional chain, covering access assessment, training, compliance management, and audits; the unlimited-user model offers more predictable costs for large-scale contractor management; and hosting and updates are included, reducing operational overhead. The main drawback is that publicly available materials do not clearly explain data security certifications, permission models, audit logs, third-party system integrations, APIs, or developer support, which makes it harder for large enterprises to fully assess information security and system integration readiness. It is best suited for organizations in construction, industry, facilities, mining, energy, and similar sectors that need strict control over contractor site access and qualifications.

Access in China and Alternatives

Based on the collected text, it is not possible to determine the stability of access from mainland China, supported payment methods, or localization support, so its China access status is marked as unknown. For deployment in China, key points to verify include network availability, contract and payment currency, Chinese-language training content creation, cross-border data transfer, and local compliance requirements. Possible alternatives include domestic EHS safety training platforms, contractor management tools, supplier compliance systems, or enterprise LMS products.
