Supplier insurance and certification tracking
Problem
Supplier insurance certificates and safety certifications get checked once at onboarding and then largely go unwatched. A policy can lapse while a supplier is actively working on-site, and nobody notices until there's a claim, because the ERP has no mechanism to track certificate status once a supplier record exists. The stakes are higher than a paperwork gap: if a supplier turns out to be uninsured, the operator's own liability coverage may not extend to that supplier's negligence, and indemnity protections meant to shift that risk back to the supplier can become unenforceable without insurance behind them.
Solution
The system reads incoming COIs, safety certifications, and training records as they arrive, whether from a new supplier onboarding or a renewal, and extracts the coverage type, carrier, limits, endorsement status, and dates. That extracted data is automatically reconciled against a rules engine defining the minimum acceptable coverage for the supplier's class, at onboarding and on every renewal, and scores the supplier compliant, expiring, lapsed, or insufficient coverage (when a specific limit, such as general liability, falls below the required minimum), with the specific reason. Suppliers approaching expiration trigger alerts on a fixed schedule instead of waiting for someone to notice, and the system automatically emails the supplier directly at specified intervals, so follow-up doesn't depend on someone remembering to reach out. A new supplier who isn't compliant is flagged as non-compliant and routed for human review, and existing suppliers who lapse or fall into insufficient coverage get flagged against their record the same way. Once a renewed or corrected document comes in and passes, the flag clears automatically.

This solution was built using these Nextworld features
Visual Language Models
Reads each incoming certificate or certification document and extracts policy type, carrier, coverage limits, endorsement status, and effective and expiration dates.
AI Models & Prompts
Evaluates the extracted coverage terms against the minimum acceptable coverage for the supplier's class and returns a compliance score (compliant, expiring, lapsed, or insufficient coverage) with the specific reason, at onboarding and on every renewal.
Logic Blocks
Automatically emails the supplier directly at 90 days, 30 days, and again once a document has expired, prompting renewal without waiting on someone to notice and follow up manually.
Workflow
Surfaces a renewal alert internally on a fixed schedule ahead of expiration.
Human-in-the-Loop
New suppliers flagged as non-compliant, and existing suppliers who lapse or fall into insufficient coverage, are routed for human review.
Dashboards
Compliance dashboard sorted by days-to-expiration, showing which suppliers are inside the alert window and which are already lapsed or in insufficient coverage.
Endpoint Definitions
Sends the create-supplier request to the ERP as part of standard onboarding, independent of compliance status.
