Why it can work

  • Expired insurance certificates have caught managers off guard.
  • Chasing subcontractor documents consumes much of the working day.
  • Daily use and medium criticality suggest a recurring need.

Watch out

  • Small crews lose track of updates during busy periods.
  • Subcontractors may resist sharing documents through a new tool.

The job to be done

Track subcontractor insurance and compliance documents

When a GC or site manager oversees multiple subcontractors, they need to collect COIs, W-9s, licenses, and certifications and know when each expires, so they can avoid missed renewals and being caught off guard by clients.
