Company profile
researched Aug 2026RIVET is a workforce management platform aimed at self-perform contractors, including electrical, mechanical and plumbing trades. The product centers on labor planning and forecasting: a forecast aggregates all labor-planned projects and measures them against the contractor's available workforce, with the system suggesting how many field employees and which roles are needed as projects ramp up. The stated goal is to let contractors bid and schedule projects further into the future and staff jobs so they finish on time and on budget.
A second area of the product covers field force management. Workers appear on a Roster Board, each with a profile containing work history, specialties, certifications and personnel details such as phone numbers and addresses. Operators can filter that roster by qualification — for example, certified skilled and trained journeyworkers within a given ZIP code or union jurisdiction — to staff a job, and the platform issues proactive alerts before worker certifications expire. RIVET positions labor as the largest risk on a job and frames planning as a shared, team-based discipline rather than the responsibility of a single person.
Business model
RIVET sells a software platform to self-perform specialty contractors, with prospective customers directed to request a demo or contact the company through its website, and existing users signing in to the platform.
Latest developments
Recent platform updates include added support for Duo single sign-on, and the company has published webinar material on productivity risks and automated forecasts.
