Task assignments and notifications — subs see exactly what's theirs
Assign schedule tasks to subs and send notifications with a magic link. Subs see their task details, can confirm acceptance, and communicate directly on the task — without needing a Ressio account. No texts about what job, what date, or what scope. It's already in the link.
- Assign any schedule task to a vendor or sub
- Send magic link notifications — subs tap and see their task
- Subs can confirm task acceptance directly from the notification
- Bulk assign multiple tasks to subs at once

Purchase orders — send them before the work starts
Create purchase orders from your budget and send them to vendors before the work begins. Subs have a documented scope and cost. You have a record. Bills that come in are matched against the PO — so your actuals stay accurate and there are no surprise invoices at closeout.
- Create POs directly from budget line items
- Send POs to vendors from Ressio
- Track PO status — sent, approved, billed
- Bills matched to POs for clean actuals in the budget
From bid to task assignment in three steps
Send the bid request
Select estimate items, add your vendors, set a due date, and release. Subs get an email with a magic link. They submit their numbers. You compare and approve in Ressio.
Assign tasks and notify
Add subs to schedule tasks and click Notify. They receive a magic link to their task details — scope, dates, and any attached files. They confirm acceptance from the link.
Track progress and close out cleanly
Monitor task status, match bills to POs, and keep compliance docs current. When the job closes, your sub records are organized and your actuals are accurate.
