Why spreadsheets break down
A COI tracker usually starts as a spreadsheet because it is fast.
The problem is that certificates arrive by email, agents send
revisions, expiration dates change, and project teams need a simple
cleared/not-cleared answer. Once the tracker is stale, everyone goes
back to searching inboxes.
What a useful COI tracker should include
- Subcontractor and project assignment
- General liability, workers' comp, and auto certificate status
- Expiration dates and expiring-soon flags
- Insurance agent contact details
- Missing document and AP hold reports
- Reviewer notes for anything that needs human confirmation
Start with a free audit
Before asking you to migrate anything, ClearSub starts with a free
COI expiration audit. Send your current tracker and sample COIs. We
return a report of missing, expired, and expiring-soon documents.
