ISN® Launches Redesigned Scorecard to Elevate User Experience for Contractors and Hiring Clients
ISN®, the global leader in contractor and supplier information management, has announced a significant update to its ISNetworld Scorecard, the core tool used by Hiring Clients and contractors to assess performance, safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. The redesigned Scorecard reflects ISN’s ongoing commitment to providing intuitive, user-centric solutions that streamline contractor management and enhance overall operational oversight.
The ISNetworld Scorecard has long been a critical resource for organizations across multiple industries, including construction, energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure, enabling Hiring Clients to effectively evaluate contractors and identify potential areas for improvement. With the latest update, ISN has modernized the Scorecard’s visual interface, improved navigation, and introduced enhanced functionality that allows users to access the information they need more efficiently than ever before.
Modern Design Meets Core Functionality
The updated Scorecard retains the core functionality that users have relied on for years while introducing a visually modernized design aimed at improving clarity, reducing complexity, and providing a more engaging user experience. The refreshed interface makes it easier for both Hiring Clients and contractor companies to quickly assess performance gaps, track compliance requirements, and take appropriate actions to ensure project and operational success.
Dag Yemenu, Chief Technology Officer at ISN, emphasized the strategic focus behind the update:
Our objective with every functionality update is to incorporate customer feedback and continuously elevate and enhance the user experience. We are pleased to introduce a more intuitive and visually engaging Scorecard that improves customer usability. Early numbers show a 90% increase in usage of the analytics and scorecard dashboards that were made available through these enhancements.
This statement highlights the careful balance ISN has achieved between maintaining the familiarity of the Scorecard and delivering a fresh, user-focused interface that meets the evolving needs of the construction and contractor management community.
Enhanced Usability Through User-Centered Design
A key feature of the redesigned Scorecard is its user-centered approach. ISN conducted extensive research and incorporated feedback from a wide range of users, including contractors, Hiring Clients, and compliance managers, to identify pain points and areas where navigation and data visualization could be improved. As a result, the updated Scorecard now offers a clean, organized layout that simplifies the process of accessing, analyzing, and acting on contractor performance data.
Matthew Dobkin, Environmental, Health, and Safety Manager at Rincon Consultants, Inc., an ISN contractor customer since 2012, praised the updates, stating:
ISNetworld’s updated Scorecard design provides easy and clear access to update required items and monitor Hiring Client grades.
The improvements allow users to navigate the platform more effectively, reducing the time spent searching for critical information and minimizing the likelihood of errors or oversights. Users can now quickly toggle between sites, collapse sections for a cleaner view, and monitor the grades and status of all connected contractor sites in an easy-to-read side panel. This functionality ensures that Hiring Clients gain a holistic view of contractor performance across multiple projects without becoming overwhelmed by excessive data.
Deeper Insights With Enhanced Analytics
In addition to the visual and navigational enhancements, ISN has introduced new analytics capabilities that provide deeper insights into contractor performance over time. The updated Scorecard features enriched grading details and a pop-up feature that allows users to view historical performance trends without leaving the main interface. This addition is particularly valuable for Hiring Clients managing multiple contractors or complex projects, as it enables them to identify recurring issues, track improvements, and make more informed decisions regarding contractor selection and engagement.
Rebecca Haydu-Jackson, Contractor Compliance Program Manager at San Diego Gas & Electric, explained the practical benefits of these changes:
The redesigned Scorecard in ISNetworld helps identify exactly why a contractor is deficient without having to click into each area on the scorecard.
This level of transparency and efficiency empowers organizations to take proactive measures to mitigate risks, maintain high safety standards, and ensure contractors meet regulatory and contractual obligations.
Supporting Efficient Contractor Management
The enhanced Scorecard is not just a visual upgrade; it is a strategic tool designed to support more efficient contractor management across industries. By consolidating critical performance data into a single, easy-to-navigate interface, ISN ensures that Hiring Clients can monitor contractor performance, safety compliance, and operational effectiveness in real time. The streamlined design also helps contractors understand their performance standings more clearly, encouraging accountability and driving continuous improvement.
The new pop-up feature that displays historical data is particularly significant for organizations focused on long-term performance management. By examining past trends and comparing performance metrics over time, Hiring Clients can identify patterns, evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions, and implement strategies to enhance contractor outcomes. This data-driven approach aligns with ISN’s mission to support safer, more efficient, and more compliant workplaces across the globe.
Feedback-Driven Innovation
ISN’s update demonstrates a broader commitment to feedback-driven innovation. The company actively engages with its users to identify areas for improvement and prioritize features that add the most value. The redesign process involved collaboration with contractors, Hiring Clients, and compliance experts to ensure the final product addresses real-world needs while remaining intuitive and easy to use.
According to Dag Yemenu, the redesign is part of ISN’s ongoing effort to evolve its platform in line with user expectations:
We continuously seek input from our customers to ensure that our solutions meet their needs today and in the future. The updated Scorecard is a reflection of our dedication to making contractor management simpler, more efficient, and more insightful.
This approach ensures that ISN remains a trusted partner for organizations seeking to optimize contractor performance, maintain regulatory compliance, and manage complex projects effectively.

ISN continues to provide comprehensive support and guidance to help users maximize the potential of the updated platform. Training resources, tutorials, and customer support are readily available, ensuring a smooth transition and rapid adoption of the new features.
For contractors, the improved Scorecard provides clearer insight into performance expectations and allows them to monitor their progress in meeting client requirements. For Hiring Clients, it enables a more streamlined evaluation process, providing actionable insights that can be used to drive improvements in contractor safety, quality, and operational performance.
