About Vertrage

On capital projects, contract and claim problems cause losses that reach into the billions and have bankrupted large companies. Those losses land on communities as lost jobs, higher taxes and utility rates, and infrastructure that opens late or never. Vertrage was founded to prevent those losses. Its software shows owners and contractors where the risk is in their contracts and claims, and gives them the evidence to resolve disputes. Projects spend less time and money in disputes, companies avoid contract traps that could sink them, and communities get the infrastructure they pay for, sooner and at lower cost.
