Intelligent document management

Estimated reduction of 70% to 90% in time spent requesting, organizing and validating documents. Without requiring subcontractors to post documentation on portals.

Foreign workers arrive at the site without a valid residence permit. Work stopped pending regularization.

Looking for expired documents, asking for renewals and constantly chasing after subcontractors who haven't responded yet.

Manually copy names, NIF, policy numbers and expiration dates to Excel maps.

The core benefit

No more renaming files, separating documents sent into a single PDF and checking whether two workers with the same name are the same person.

Passo 01

Automatic ordering

When a subcontractor enters a project or a document approaches the end of its validity, the system sends the correct order by email.

Passo 02

Collection and archive

The subcontractor sends the files just like today, without needing accounts or learning how to use a portal. The system renames the documentation and organizes it into subcontractor and worker folders, within your central cloud storage system.

Passo 03

Identification and checks

The system identifies the company, the worker, the type of document and the specific fields. Related documents, such as supporting policies, appear together. Each document has its rules and alerts.

Passo 04

Approval

The team checks the original and approves or requests correction or resend in two clicks. The decision on each document remains with the team.

Passo 05

Anticipation of expiries

Advance reminders and configurable repeat anticipate renewal requests. The subcontractor sees via email what is missing, what has arrived and what is in order.

Passo 06

Controlo da conformidade

Every week, the report shows who is authorized and what is missing. Unlimited users can check compliance and export Excel maps for inspection.

The difference

FermiObra does not require its subcontractors to use portals, create accounts or change their process.

They send documents by email, as they already do. The system handles the rest.

Greater advance notice of orders and greater visibility for the subcontractor, helping them to organize themselves. The result is fewer delays in documentation.

01

Anticipation of expiries

Advance reminders and configurable repeat to anticipate documentation renewal requests.

02

Visibility for the subcontractor

Email reminders and summary show the subcontractor what is missing, what has arrived and what is in compliance.

03

Confirmation of who is compliant

The team puts together a list of workers on a construction site and immediately checks who is compliant. The list of compliant workers can be automatically sent to whoever carries out this check on site.

04

Alerts undetectable by the human eye

The system flags checks that are difficult to carry out manually, such as confirming the validity of the NIF using the check digit.

Legislation

Some of the checks already built into FermiObra:

Residence documents

Distinguishes the residence permit from the application receipt (AIMA) and biometric scheduling. The type of proof is visible for the technician's decision.

Medical entrance examination

When no fitness certificate is available, it compares the scheduled examination date with the Social Security registration date. Lei n.º 102/2009, art. 108.º, n.º 3, al. a), provides for the examination before the start of work or, if urgency justifies it, within the following 15 days.

Validity of the aptitude record

Flags expiry dates that do not comply with the legal examination schedule: annually for minors and workers over 50, and every two years for everyone else, unless adjusted by the occupational physician, under art. 108.º, n.os 3, al. b), e 4, da Lei n.º 102/2009.

Payment to Social Security

Compares the reference month and the TSU payment proof date against the statutory deadline: by the 25th of the following month, under art. 43 of the Contribution Code, amended by DL no. 127/2025.

Work accident insurance

With a fixed premium and a complete named list, it flags active workers absent from the policy. With a variable premium, it flags those absent from the applicable monthly payroll; the payroll must be sent to the insurer. Ordinance No. 256/2011, clauses 3, 5 and 24 and special condition 01.

The rules flag situations for review. The final validation of the document continues to be the responsibility of the team.

The documentary status, decisions and maps are based on the same information per work, without going around the clock gathering scattered information.

01 / Consulta

Centralized information

Visibility over workers, subcontractors and documents: what is compliant, missing, expiring or yet to be validated.

02 / Past registration

Rastreabilidade e cronologia

Work History: entrances, exits and other events associated with the work.Activity Log: dates and responsible for actions and decisions in the application.

03 / Partilha

Excel maps by work

Creation of a map of companies, workers and equipment in 1 click. The map is available for inspection, the developer or an audit.

FermiObra does not issue certificates or guarantee approval in competitions. Certification is from your organization and an accredited body, and an audit assesses the current implementation, not just the documents. What FermiObra does is leave the documentary part ready for audit: document control, records of skills and subcontractor compliance.

Criteria, checklists and templates to review the current process before choosing a tool or configuring a project.
