Four Main Components
SubGen – Converts contract and vendor data files
from Sitemanager.
SubCon – Used by the Prime to enter subcontract info
SubLoad – Converts files received from Prime into files
that can be imported into SiteManager
SubPatch – Makes final changes before import
In a Nut Shell
Agency activates SiteManager contract Agency exports contract item information. Information is distributed to the Prime
Contractor. The Prime uses the SubCon portion of
SiteXchange to enter appropriate data. Prime submits this data back to Agency. Agency imports data back into SiteManager.
If it Smells like Expedite….
SubGen - Uses a configuration file that can be customized using a text editor to meet the specific requirements of your agency.
SubCon – Contractors use the SubCon program to enter subcontract information including subcontract vendors, items, item quantities, and item prices, generate reports, and submit the modified contract information back to the agency.

Adds three Custom Process to SiteManager:
BVENLOAD – SiteManger to SiteXchange Vendor Load

able to process the submitted
contract information in more
timely and efficient manner.
Current Practice
It used to take 2 hours or more just to do the paper work depending on the project, then we would have to wait a few days before we got a response back from NDOR. Now it can take less then two hours to do the whole process. I have actually had subs approved in less then 15 minutes.
