Getting Started
When you log in to LOCAS, you land on your Local Content Management dashboard. This is your home base — everything you need is accessible from here.
Dashboard Tiles
The dashboard is organised into tiles. Click any tile to go directly to that module:

Employment
Submit quarterly employment returns covering local vs expatriate staff, gender, and disability inclusion.
My Suppliers
Register new suppliers, browse the national directory, and import suppliers in bulk.
Supplier Development
Create development programmes for local suppliers, track activities, and submit quarterly reports.
Admin-Only Tiles
Company Administrators also see these tiles:
Compliance Reports
Track SI 2025 compliance status and review quarterly assessments.
Penalties
View issued penalties and upload proof of payment.
