A manual vendor compliance process can be frustrating, error-prone and keeping you from a well-deserved vacation. Ditch the pain today with myCOI’s automated tracking software!
If you’re an admin tasked with managing paperwork, including compliance and insurance tracking, you know just how frustrating the compliance process can be to track down all of the necessary information: the certificate of insurance, the additional insured endorsements, the waivers of subrogation, agency information… the list goes on and on. And for a company that contracts with hundreds (or maybe thousands) of subcontractors and vendors, the compliance process can be downright ruthless. And the worst part? It literally NEVER ends! You think you’re finished for the day, but by the next morning, your inbox is full again and begging for attention. The compliance process can spiral out of control very quickly as emails add up even faster when policy renewal tracking is added to the to-do list. Are you nodding your head in agreement yet?
Compliance Process: How Many Emails Does It Take?
You may be collecting hundreds of certificates at a time for a new project, and each one of those requires a follow-up to ensure they aren’t faulty, that all proper policy requirements (like endorsements) are in place, and that the certificates are up to date and accurate. And when your tracking process is manual, there’s always the chance that steps will be missed, increasing risk of a legal battle or significant financial loss in the event of a claim.
Because of our extensive insurance backgrounds, the team members at myCOI understand firsthand just how frustrating the process can be, let alone how much stress it can add to those in charge of ensuring compliance. We see administrators who are overwhelmed with paperwork, having to manually enter dates into an accounting system or Excel, which exposes them to making errors. We see admins creating their own reminder systems via a calendar or even sticky notes to remember to follow-up, which begs for a forgotten to-do. We see admins afraid of taking a day off (forget about a week) to enjoy vacation because no one else knows how to do their job and it’s easier to keep working than to get behind in the compliance process.
We understand your pain… but can we share a better way?
