COI compliance by the numbers

Why certificate of insurance tracking matters

Certificate of insurance non-compliance is common and expensive. These industry figures explain why risk and compliance teams move COI tracking off spreadsheets.

70%

of certificates of insurance are non-compliant when first collected, and it takes an average of three follow-ups to make one compliant, according to industry certificate-tracking data (2025).

35%

of general liability claims end in a lawsuit, and a GL claim that goes to court averages more than $75,000 to defend and settle, per The Hartford claims data.

$35,000

is the average cost of a product-liability claim, and a customer or contractor injury claim averages about $30,000, according to Insurance Journal.

Figures summarize publicly reported insurance-industry and certificate-tracking sources. Individual results vary.

How it works

From certificate to compliance in three steps

No spreadsheets to maintain, no manual keying, no certificates lost in inboxes.

  1. Step 1

    Collect

    Upload the certificates you already have, one at a time or in batches of up to 50 files.

  2. Step 2

    AI reads & verifies

    Every limit, date, policy number and endorsement checkbox is extracted, validated and compared against your requirements.

  3. Step 3

    Track & export

    Expirations and deficiencies are flagged before they become exposure. Export to Excel, CSV, JSON or sync via API.

Built for risk transfer

Compliance checks that actually read the documents

A checkbox on a certificate is not proof. COISoftware reads the ACORD form and the endorsement pages, so you know the coverage your contract requires is really there.

Limit & coverage verification
Each occurrence, aggregate, auto CSL, umbrella and employers liability limits checked against your minimums per vendor type.
Expiration tracking
Every policy line tracked separately, with renewal reminders in your inbox before coverage lapses, not after.
Endorsement verification
Additional insured, waiver of subrogation and primary & non-contributory wording verified on the actual endorsement forms.
REST API
POST a certificate, receive structured JSON. Embed COI intake and verification inside your own onboarding flow.

Choosing a platform

COI tracking software, COI management software or a managed service?

Buyers look for this category under a dozen names. Most of them describe the same product. Two describe something genuinely different, and it is worth knowing which one you are pricing before a sales call.

The name you will see What it usually means What COISoftware does
COI tracking software, certificate of insurance tracking Collect every certificate, record the policy dates, and chase the vendor before a policy lapses. Reads each ACORD 25, tracks every coverage line by its own expiration date, and emails you at 60, 30 and 15 days out.
COI management software, certificate of insurance software The whole program: intake, verification, storage and reporting, usually for a risk or procurement team. The same platform. Requirements per vendor type, a compliance status on every certificate, export to Excel, CSV or JSON, and a REST API.
COI tracking system, COI platform, COI tracker A system of record that replaces the shared inbox and the spreadsheet. One searchable record per vendor with the source certificate attached, so an auditor sees the document and the check side by side.
COI verification software Checking limits and endorsement wording, not only dates. Reads the endorsement pages themselves (CG 20 10, CG 20 37, CG 24 04), because the ADDL INSD and SUBR WVD boxes on an ACORD 25 are informational only.
Certificate of insurance tracking services A vendor whose staff collects and reviews certificates for you, usually quoted per vendor with an annual minimum. A different model. COISoftware is self-serve software with published monthly plans, so your team keeps the decisions and pays for software, not headcount.

Comparing vendors? Best COI tracking software puts fifteen platforms side by side, and COI tracking software pricing lists every published rate in the category, with the quote-only vendors marked as such.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is COI tracking software?

COI tracking software collects certificates of insurance from your vendors, subcontractors and tenants, extracts the coverage data, verifies it against your insurance requirements, and tracks expirations so you are never exposed by a lapsed or insufficient policy.

Which documents can COISoftware read?

ACORD 25 certificates of liability insurance, ACORD 24/27/28 property forms, additional insured endorsements (CG 20 10, CG 20 37), waivers of subrogation (CG 24 04, WC 00 03 13), policy declarations, surety bonds, W-9s, business licenses, loss runs and more.

Does it verify endorsements or just the certificate?

Both. The ADDL INSD and SUBR WVD checkboxes on an ACORD 25 are informational only, so COISoftware also reads the endorsement pages themselves to confirm the wording, schedule and form numbers your contract requires.

How do expiration reminders work?

Every coverage line is tracked separately by its own expiration date. You get an email as a policy crosses 60, 30 and 15 days to expiration, and again once it has lapsed. Each one names the vendor whose renewed certificate you need to collect, and the dashboard flags anything expired, expiring or deficient.

Is there an API?

Yes. POST a certificate and receive clean structured JSON with limits, dates, endorsement status and compliance results, so you can run extraction inside your own onboarding or procurement systems.

How is pricing structured?

Simple self-serve plans with no per-vendor minimums and no mandatory service contracts. Start free and upgrade when your volume grows. Enterprise adds a dedicated account manager and a data processing agreement.

How does COI tracking software work?

You upload or forward each certificate, the software reads the ACORD form and pulls the insurer, limits, policy dates and endorsements, then compares them with the requirements you set for that vendor type. Certificates that fall short are flagged with the reason, and reminders go out before any policy expires so coverage stays current.

How much does COI tracking software cost?

COISoftware publishes its prices: plans start at $49 per month, or $24 per month billed annually, with no per-vendor minimums and no implementation fee. Most competitors are quote-only. Our COI tracking software pricing page lists every rate the category publishes and marks the vendors that publish none.

What is the difference between COI tracking and COI management software?

The terms overlap and usually describe the same product. Tracking stresses watching expiration dates so nothing lapses. Management is the broader word for the whole program: collecting, reading, verifying, storing and reporting on certificates. A good platform does both, so check whether the tool covers the full loop rather than which label it uses.

Do I need COI software or is a spreadsheet enough?

A spreadsheet is fine for a handful of long-standing, low-risk vendors. It stops working once reading certificates becomes the bottleneck, usually past 20 to 30 active vendors, or when a contract makes you prove enforcement. A spreadsheet stores what you type and verifies nothing, so a missing endorsement or a low limit goes unnoticed.

Can COI tracking software catch a policy cancelled mid-term?

Not on its own, and no document-based tracker can. A certificate is a snapshot of the day it was issued, so a policy cancelled before its listed expiration shows up only when a cancellation notice or a new certificate reaches you. COISoftware re-checks every certificate you upload and keeps renewal dates in front of you, but mid-term confirmation still comes from the vendor or carrier.
