Case Study: SBA Communications improves contractor safety and compliance with Avetta

SBA Communications saves US$100,000 and onboards 1,300 contractors with Avetta

SBA Communications, a global owner and operator of nearly 30,000 cell towers, faced challenges in monitoring contractor compliance with safety and insurance regulations across its vast network. Without a central system, manual tracking was inefficient. Following a spike in tower-related injuries, the company sought a solution and partnered with Avetta, implementing its Avetta Connect platform for supplier prequalification, audits, and insurance monitoring.

Avetta's solution provided centralized oversight, automating contractor onboarding, safety audits, and insurance verification. This enabled proactive management and real-time alerts. As a result, SBA onboarded 1,300 contractors in the first year, far exceeding its goal of 500, achieved approximately $100,000 in employee cost savings, and strengthened safety compliance across all its tower sites.
