Vendor Credential Guard

Never put an uninsured or unlicensed sub on a job site again.

Best when sub compliance is tracked informally and a lapsed cert on a job site is a real liability risk.

Best fit signals

Insurance and license certs are tracked in spreadsheets or not at all

Certs expire without anyone catching it before the job starts

Office staff manually chase subs for paperwork before each project

Owner is uncertain which subs are compliant at any given time

Representative proof

Honest rollout framing

Rollout profile

Representative profile: General contractor managing 15-20 active subs with licenses and general liability insurance required on every project.

Representative rollout profile only. Compliance improvement depends on sub roster size, response rate, and current tracking gaps.

Baseline

Certs are tracked in a spreadsheet that is 3-6 months out of date. Office manager manually emails subs before each new project to request current docs.

Launch state

Automated credential request and expiry tracking goes live. Compliance board shows current status for every active sub.

First 30 days

First 30-day target: collect outstanding certs for all active subs and eliminate manual pre-project compliance checks.
