A: No. Kontrol4 is a comprehensive management system methodology that we've developed since 2012. We currently implement this methodology through custom technology solutions built on the Upvise platform, but the Kontrol4 system itself can be adapted to work across different platforms

A: While our most efficient implementation is through our Upvise-based technology solutions, the Kontrol4 methodology can be adapted to work with other platforms. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

A: The Kontrol4 system is a comprehensive contractor management methodology developed since 2012 that helps organisations achieve ISO compliance and operational excellence. It includes defined workflows, processes, templates and frameworks aligned with international standards. The methodology is independent of any specific technology platform.

A: We've chosen to implement our Kontrol4 methodology through custom-developed Upvise technology solutions because of its flexibility, mobile capabilities, and effectiveness for field teams. However, the core Kontrol4 system principles can be applied using different technology platforms if required.

A: Yes. While our most efficient implementation is through our custom technology, the Kontrol4 methodology can often complement existing systems. We can help you identify gaps in your current processes and implement methodological improvements, with or without introducing new technology.

A: No. When you purchase Kontrol4, you're getting our proprietary management system methodology along with our custom-developed technology implementation. While we've built this implementation on the Upvise platform, you're purchasing our comprehensive Kontrol4 system rather than just Upvise software.

A: Standard Upvise provides a platform with basic functionality. Kontrol4 has developed extensive custom components, workflows, and templates specifically designed for contractor management, ISO compliance, and operational excellence that go well beyond standard Upvise capabilities.

A: As Upvise developers in Australia, we offer expertise not just in the software but in how to implement it effectively for compliance and operational excellence. Our custom-developed components extend Upvise's capabilities significantly, and our methodology ensures you achieve measurable business outcomes.

A: Yes. If your team is already familiar with Upvise, they'll find our implementation intuitive while benefiting from our enhanced features and methodology. We offer a smooth transition path with specialised training to help your team leverage the full capabilities of the Kontrol4 system.

A: Yes. For organisations requiring ISO certification or process improvements, we can provide the Kontrol4 methodology documentation and consulting separately from the technology implementation. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

A: As the original developers of this comprehensive contractor management approach since 2012, Kontrol4 offers the complete, continuously evolved system methodology along with our fully-integrated technology implementation. While some market solutions may incorporate elements inspired by our work, they typically lack the full depth, ongoing innovation, and complete integration that comes from our decade-plus of experience developing both the methodology and its implementation.

A: Many of the Upvise modules commonly used for contractor management were originally commissioned and funded by Vertical Matters (Kontrol4) as part of our innovation investment. While these modules were later incorporated into the standard Upvise offering, they originated from our vision and specifications for contractor management excellence.
