ComplyFlow vs Felix

ComplyFlow vs Felix: What Each One Does Best.

Felix is vendor management and procurement software, from prequalification through sourcing and contracts, with Nexvia as a separate site product for construction. ComplyFlow, Sydney-based since 2009, carries one approval through to the Worker, the gate, and the work order. Here is where each is stronger.

The Short Answer.

ComplyFlow runs prequalification, site access, permits, incidents, plant, and inspections on one record, with AI you set up to read a submission against your criteria before your own people approve. Felix runs the supplier relationship: prequalification, sourcing, contracts, and a procurement schedule on one platform, with Nexvia, a separate product for construction SMEs, selling its own pre-qualification and site register.

In Short

Who Is Stronger, and Where.

Where ComplyFlow Is Stronger

  • AI that reads the answers and the files. Felix’s Vendor Management page carries one line on AI-powered data collection during onboarding, and its chief technology officer’s post of 17 March 2026 describes AI as an investment area now underway. ComplyFlow’s AI reads each question you choose against your criteria, shows its reasons, and your people approve.
  • Your AI assistant works from the live record. None of the 60 Felix and Nexvia pages we read names an MCP server. ComplyFlow’s lets ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot answer from your live data, read-only if you want it to be.
  • The alarm goes where the lone Worker goes. A ComplyFlow Worker sets an expected time on site, and the supervisor is alerted on an overrun, with an Emergency button on the Worker’s own phone on request. None of the Felix and Nexvia pages we read describes a lone-worker or duress feature.

Where Felix Is Stronger

  • Procurement from request for quote to contract. Felix’s Sourcing module manages a request for quote through to a recommendation for award, and its solutions page adds contracts, a procurement schedule, and a vendor marketplace. ComplyFlow has no sourcing, tendering, or contracts module, and no directory.
  • A SOC 2 certification. Felix’s security page states SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification, though its own pages differ on the SOC 2 type, so ask for the report. ComplyFlow is ISO 27001 certified and is not SOC 2.
  • Native links to document and ERP systems. Felix lists native integrations including Asite, Aconex, InEight Document, and Pronto Xi, and Felix Connect for custom ones. ComplyFlow connects twelve systems natively, and other systems with an API can be connected through ours.

Where Each One Wins

The Honest Version, Both Ways.

Choose ComplyFlow When AI Should Read the Documents.

Where you set it up, ComplyFlow’s AI reads the documents you choose, a SWMS included, against criteria you write, shows its reasons, and the contractor can run the same review before submitting, up to three times. It reviews a SWMS; it never writes one. Your people approve.

  • AI reads the documents you choose against your criteria
  • The contractor runs the same review before submitting
  • Your people approve, with the reasons beside them

See AI Agents

And When the Crew Signs In to the Permit.

None of the Felix and Nexvia pages we read describes a permit to work. In ComplyFlow each section of a permit has its own reviewer, and the crew signs in to the active permit, against the Worker you approved.

  • A reviewer per section, by role, team, or named holder
  • The crew signs in to the active permit
  • Permits against the Worker you approved

See Digital Permits

Choose Felix When Procurement Is the Job.

Felix takes a supplier from prequalification through sourcing, from a request for quote to a recommendation for award, to contracts and a procurement schedule, on one platform, and adds a vendor marketplace and an open Web API into your ERP. If sourcing and contracts are the whole of the job, it is built for that.

  • Contracts and a procurement schedule on the same platform
  • An open Web API and native links to document and ERP systems

Questions

Questions People Ask About Felix and ComplyFlow.

Are Felix and Nexvia the same product?

No. The Felix platform (felix.net) and Nexvia (nexvia.com.au) are described on separate sites. Nexvia’s news page says Felix Group announced its acquisition on 19 August 2025, and Felix’s blog post of 20 August 2025 says Felix has officially acquired it. Felix’s 2025 review of 8 December 2025 says the acquisition was in October. Felix describes Nexvia as software for construction SMEs. Ask which product your agreement would cover, and whether they share one record.

What does Felix’s prequalification do?

Vendor Management is its core module. Its solutions page says prequalification questionnaires can be specific to a risk profile or project and routed to the right person for approval, that approvals against low-risk criteria can be automated, and that vendors register once. Its Vendor Optiqual framework is a prequalification question set referencing PAS 91 and PAS 7000. ComplyFlow’s is approved by your own people after AI reads it against your criteria.

Does Felix use AI?

Its Vendor Management page carries one line on AI-powered technology speeding up compliance data collection during vendor onboarding, and its chief technology officer’s post of 17 March 2026 describes AI as an investment area now underway for Vendor Management and Sourcing, and says AI is not replacing human judgement. Ask which parts are live today. ComplyFlow’s AI reads answers and files against your criteria, a SWMS included, and shows its reasons; your people approve. It reviews a SWMS and never writes one, and AI review is optional unless a Client requires it.

Is Felix SOC 2 certified, and is ComplyFlow?

Felix’s security page states SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification and offers single sign-on for SAML 2.x identity platforms, while its construction page says SOC 2 Type 1 and its August 2023 post announces SOC 2 Type 1. Ask which report you would receive and for which period. ComplyFlow is ISO 27001 certified, AWS Qualified Software since 2023, and is not SOC 2. Check which one your own policy names.

Does Felix connect to our ERP or work-order system?

Felix says it has an open Web API for connecting to your ERP and other systems, with Vendor Management endpoints for vendors, questionnaire responses, and compliance documents. Its integrations page lists native integrations, and Felix Connect creates custom ones. ComplyFlow’s open API reads every module and writes work orders and inspections. Whichever you choose, ask to see your own system holding a job for a supplier who is not cleared.

Who is Felix for, and where is it based?

Its about page says Felix (ASX:FLX) is headquartered in Brisbane and used by construction, mining, government, utility, public infrastructure, and property companies, and it has industry pages for Community Care, Construction, Mining, Ports, and Property. Nexvia is aimed at construction SMEs. ComplyFlow is Sydney-based, since 2009. Read 5 October 2026.

How does ComplyFlow connect a supplier, a Worker, and a work order?

Your maintenance or work-order system reads the supplier’s compliance through the API before it releases a job: cleared, and the Worker signs in to the order; not cleared, and your system holds it with the reason on the supplier’s record. The status is the same wherever it is read, and a Worker who is not cleared for the location will not be able to sign in until it is resolved, unless the site is set to allow Sign in Anyway, which notifies the client. The Inspection app records the work, and the open API reads and writes work orders and inspections.

Can we run both?

You can. One shape is Felix carrying sourcing, contracts, and the procurement schedule, with ComplyFlow carrying the supplier’s assessment against your criteria, the Worker, the gate, and the status your work-order system reads. It is still two records for one contractor, which is the cost you are accepting. Whatever you run, ask what happens between the systems after approval: the Worker, the gate, and the work order.
