GARAVENDORCertificate of Insurance (COI) Tracking for Vendors and Contractors
COI tracking fails in the same way everywhere: the certificate is collected, filed and forgotten. GARAVENDOR keeps a live register of every certificate, reads the key details off the document, and chases the renewal before the cover lapses.
What the register holds
One row per certificate, tied to the vendor file it belongs to.
- Insurer, policy number, coverage type and limits
- Effective and expiry dates with a countdown
- Additional-insured and waiver indicators where present
- The original document, sealed with a SHA-256 hash
Automatic chasing instead of manual reminders
The system requests the renewal so your team does not have to remember which of 120 vendors is due this month.
- Reminders at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before expiry
- Renewal requests sent straight to the vendor's contact
- Escalation to the internal owner when nothing arrives
- Dashboard of everything expiring in the next 90 days
Proving what was valid, later
When a claim or audit looks backwards, the question is what was on file on a specific date. Every version of every certificate is retained with its upload timestamp and hash, so the answer is a lookup rather than an investigation.
Frequently asked questions
Does the system verify the certificate with the insurer?
No. It extracts and tracks the information on the document you were given. Confirming a policy directly with the carrier remains a manual step where your risk policy requires it.
Can it read a photo of a certificate?
Yes — PDF, scan or phone photo. Extracted fields are shown for review before they are saved.
How many certificates can one vendor have?
As many as needed — general liability, workers' cover, professional indemnity, auto — each tracked with its own expiry.
