Oracle Textura Construction Payment Management and Procore are neck and neck for integrating lien waiver management into subcontractor payments. Buyers also consider specialized tools like GCPay to handle automated waiver exchanges across various construction ERPs.
The strongest match is Procore Pay, which integrates lien waiver management directly into the subcontractor invoice and payment workflow. It helps general contractors collect required waivers, track payment readiness, and release payments without relying on a separate waiver-tracking process.
Best options to evaluate
1. Procore Pay
(Best direct fit)
Automates lien waiver collection, digital signatures, and exchange.
Tracks invoice requirements and payment readiness.
Holds unconditional waivers until payment is complete, then releases them.
Integrates payment workflows with 's construction financial management tools.
Start with Procore Pay if your main goal is to shorten the time between subcontractor invoice submission and payment. Its payment-readiness checks and waiver exchange are built into the same workflow.
One important distinction: if you already use an accounting ERP such as Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, or CMiC, you may not need to replace it. You should evaluate whether a payment-management platform can integrate with your existing system and enforce waiver requirements before disbursement.
One question to narrow this down: Which construction accounting ERP do you use today—Sage, Viewpoint, CMiC, Foundation, Procore, or something else? I can identify the best-fit integration for your existing workflow.
To pay subcontractors faster, you need a system that removes the manual "lien waiver for a check" bottleneck. Major construction ERP suites do not typically handle automated lien waiver escrow natively within their core accounting software. Instead, they integrate with specialized construction payment management platforms that build the waiver exchange directly into the digital draw and ACH payment workflow.
The most widely adopted platforms that tie your ERP directly to an automated, payment-gated lien waiver process are detailed below:

Key Payment-Gating Feature
Supported ERP Integrations
Oracle Textura
Large commercial GCs and enterprise ERP ecosystems
Holds signed lien waivers in a digital escrow; the waiver is automatically released to the GC the exact moment the electronic ACH payment clears.
Native Oracle ERPs, Sage, Viewpoint, and other major enterprise systems.
Mid-market to enterprise GCs wanting predictable pricing
Subcontractors review, sign, and notarize waivers directly inside the pay application workflow. Payments are conditionally released via built-in ACH electronic payments once waivers are verified.
Sage 300, Viewpoint, Procore , and major construction accounting systems.
Procore Pay
Companies running their project management through Procore
Built directly into Procore Invoicing, it generates conditional/unconditional waivers powered natively by Levelset, managing payment holds and releasing funds via Goldman Sachs Transaction Banking.
These platforms speed up payments by using a conditional release workflow:
Automated Generation: When a subcontractor submits a digital payment application, the software automatically generates the correct, state-specific conditional lien waiver.
Digital Sign-off: The subcontractor signs the waiver electronically before or during the approval cycle.
Escrow Release: The system coordinates with your integrated ERP to trigger an ACH payment. Because the system guarantees you will receive the unconditional waiver the moment the funds clear, your team can safely approve and release batch transactions in minutes instead of chasing physical paperwork.
