It's 2 a.m. A storm is bearing down. You have crews to confirm, Subs to stand up, and a manpower count due before dawn. The last thing you need is a platform asking you to formally invite each Sub through a user-management flow before they can do anything useful.
KYRO AI already solved this problem for linemen, a shareable signup link, a short form, and they're on the roster. Now that same pattern extends to Subcontractors. One link. One form. Done.
The existing Sub onboarding path requires the Prime to invite the Sub through KYRO AI's user-management flow before the Sub can take any action on the platform. During a calm planning week, that's fine. During an active storm call, it's a bottleneck.
Primes are coordinating by text and phone at all hours. Subs who've never touched KYRO AI before are being promised work and need to get their crews on paper, fast. The platform needs to move at the pace of the storm, not the pace of a software onboarding checklist.
The linemen self-signup link already proved the pattern works at the crew level. This brings it up to the Sub tier, where the stakes and the roster complexity are even higher.
This flow is built for:
The Prime shares a CTA on their website for Subcontractor roster signup. During a storm activation, the Sub clicks the Roster Signup link directly from the Prime’s site and begins the onboarding process immediately.
The Sub opens the link on their phone or laptop and lands on a clean, branded form. No KYRO AI login or prior invitation is required to get started.
The Sub fills out the required operational and company information, including:
The form mirrors the same fields already used in KYRO AI’s standard Contractor Roster template, including Last Name, First Name, Classification, Phone, Email, Equip Type, and Equip #. That means no additional reconciliation work later for the Prime or back-office teams.
Already working with the Excel roster template? The same file can be uploaded directly into the form without reformatting.
Once submitted, KYRO AI automatically creates the Sub’s account, attaches the Sub to the storm under the inviting Prime, ingests the uploaded roster, and notifies the Prime that the Sub is now active on the platform.
No manual account creation. No separate onboarding coordination. No waiting for someone to approve a user invitation before work can begin.
From the moment the form is submitted, the Sub gains immediate access to Crew Timesheets, Expenses, and Invoice generation. Once onboarding is completed, the Sub also gains access to QuickPay and funding workflows through KYRO Capital.
The form is intentionally lean. Only what KYRO AI needs to attach the Sub to the storm and start the clock on timesheets and invoicing:
Nothing here is new or custom. Every field maps directly to the standard Contractor Roster template KYRO AI already uses, so there's no reconciliation work on the back end.
Every hour a Sub spends waiting to get on the platform is an hour their crew isn't logging time. Timesheets that don't start on time create invoice gaps. Invoice gaps delay funding. And delayed funding — for a Sub carrying payroll for 30 to 200 workers is a serious operational problem.
The self-signup link removes a multi-hour bottleneck at the highest-pressure phase of the storm. It also means a Prime can onboard a Sub they've never worked with before using a single text message. No prior KYRO AI relationship required. That's essential as storm response scales and Primes pull in new Sub crews on short notice.
The faster Subs are on the platform, the faster the Prime has an accurate manpower count, the faster timesheets start flowing, and the faster invoices reach the funder, including through KYRO Capital, which turns approved work into working capital without waiting on the prime's payment cycle.
Storm activation doesn't wait for paperwork. The Sub Self-Signup Link is KYRO AI matching the pace of how storm work actually gets stood up. Fast, over text, with crews that sometimes haven't worked together before. One link closes the gap between "we have work for you" and "you're on the platform, and your crew is rostered."

Does the Sub need a KYRO account before clicking the link?
No. The signup link is the starting point. The Sub fills out the form and KYRO creates their account on submission. No prior login or invitation is needed.
Can the Sub upload their roster as a spreadsheet instead of typing it in?
Yes. The form includes an optional file upload for an existing roster Excel file. It accepts the same template KYRO already uses — no reformatting required.
What happens if the link is shared to the wrong person?
Each link is scoped to a specific storm and a specific Prime. Someone clicking the link from outside the intended conversation can still submit the form, so Primes should treat the link like any other access credential — share it through trusted channels.
Can the Prime generate separate links for different Subs?
Yes. Each Sub signup link is unique, which means the Prime can generate individual links per Sub and track submissions separately. Useful when standing up large Sub networks across a single storm.
When does the Sub get access to KYRO Capital?
Immediately after submitting the form, the Sub has access to timesheets, expenses, and invoice generation. Working capital funding through KYRO Capital becomes available once Corp Billing onboarding is complete, typically a one-time setup step that runs in parallel with the Sub's first storm.
Does this replace the standard Prime-invite flow entirely?
Not necessarily. The self-signup link is optimized for speed during storm activation, especially for new Subs or high-volume mobilizations. Primes can still use the standard invite flow for Subs they work with regularly and prefer to onboard through the full user-management path.
