Your Contractors, Your Relationship
PartyPad is software you use to manage contractors you have sourced and engaged yourself. We are not a marketplace or staffing agency: we do not supply, introduce, employ, or contract with your contractors, and we are not a party to your agreements with them.
Vetting Is Your Responsibility
PartyPad performs no background checks, insurance verification, licensing checks, or vetting of any kind on the contractors you add to your account. Confirming that a contractor is qualified, insured, and legally able to perform the work is entirely your responsibility.
What the Software Provides

- A mobile app for your contractors, with photo confirmations
- Location and status tracking on active tasks
- Your own performance ratings and notes on your contractors
