About

BrightCIS is a cloud-based software solution designed to handle every element of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) process for contractors and subcontractors, offering secure tools to manage subcontractor details, verify registrations with HMRC, calculate CIS deductions automatically, pay subcontractors (including fast 90-second payment processing via Modulr) and generate official “Payment and Deduction Statements” as well as year-end statements with minimal effort. The system supports CSV import of subcontractor lists, batch processing of multiple contractor returns, submission of monthly CIS300 returns in a few clicks, full audit-trail visibility with timestamped activities, and unlimited user access from any device so teams can collaborate in real time. Because it’s fully cloud-native, BrightCIS receives automatic updates to stay aligned with the latest HMRC regulations, reduces manual error-prone calculations, and centralizes subcontractor onboarding and verification.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Customer service is the best we have ever experienced, immediate response time and a willingness to assist our subcontractors when needed. Building bidders lists and communicating with subcontractors is user friendly, straight forward and fully custom. Sharing documents with outside team members comes in a variety of options, all easy and clear. Pantera continues to grow, building tools that benefit, in particular, the historical data that can be used when building future projects/bidders lists.
  • It's possible to send out ITB's very quickly with minimal set-up. There is a great deal of flexibility in how to create and manage the ITB process. There are several tools to manage the the private contact database. The Pantera team is always quick to assist, and there are many ways the service is customized for our needs. Custom reports are available.
  • Ease of use and support.

Cons

  • Maintaining a clean database can be problematic at times. Multiple entries for the same company often register/show as separate records, making it hard for team members to identify who to reach out to. Would also be helpful if we could limit users security permissions to a higher level between "user" and "administrator".
  • Access to public HUB/minority vendor databases could be better/stronger. Regarding the mobile app, there are some functions that can not be accomplished with the app.
  • Not sure.
