How This Automation Works
Insurance certificate uploaded or expiration date approaching → Insurance status validated and team notified of coverage gaps
Certificate submission and data extraction
Subcontractors upload insurance certificates through a secure portal. The system automatically extracts policy details including coverage types, limits, policy numbers, effective dates, expiration dates, and certificate holder information using document parsing technology.
Coverage requirement validation
Extracted data is validated against your predefined insurance requirements for roofing subcontractors. The system checks general liability limits, workers compensation status, additional insured designation, and other mandatory coverage elements, flagging any deficiencies.
Compliance database update
Verified insurance information is automatically added to the subcontractor compliance database with the current status, coverage details, and expiration timeline. The subcontractor profile is updated across all integrated systems to reflect their insurance standing.
Expiration monitoring and alerts
The system continuously monitors expiration dates and triggers alerts at 60, 30, and 14 days before policies expire. Notifications are sent to both the subcontractor and your project management team to ensure timely renewals and prevent coverage lapses.
Compliance enforcement
Subcontractors with expired or insufficient insurance are automatically flagged as non-compliant in scheduling systems. They cannot be assigned to new projects until updated certificates are submitted and verified, protecting your company from liability exposure.
How It Works
Managing insurance verification for multiple roofing subcontractors creates significant liability exposure and administrative burden. This automated system continuously monitors subcontractor insurance certificates, validates coverage requirements, checks expiration dates, and sends proactive alerts when policies need renewal. By centralizing insurance tracking and automating compliance checks, roofing contractors reduce risk, prevent uninsured work, and ensure every subcontractor maintains proper coverage before stepping on a job site. The system integrates with your project management tools to flag coverage gaps before work begins, protecting your business from costly liability claims and ensuring compliance with general contractor requirements.
The Trigger
The verification process initiates when a subcontractor submits an insurance certificate, when an expiration date is within the alert threshold (typically 30-60 days), or when a new project assignment requires insurance validation. The system monitors certificate databases and calendar events to catch coverage gaps before they create liability issues.
The Action
The system validates certificate details against your coverage requirements, extracts key information (policy numbers, coverage amounts, expiration dates), updates the subcontractor compliance database, and sends alerts to project managers when coverage is insufficient or approaching expiration. Non-compliant subcontractors are automatically flagged in scheduling systems to prevent work assignments until insurance is current.
