COI Tracking for Construction and General Contractors

General contractors are responsible for subcontractor insurance compliance across every active construction project. Owners require documentation before work starts. Lenders require proof before draws. Auditors require history when something goes wrong. Someone on your team is responsible when a subcontractor's certificate of insurance (COI) is expired, incomplete, or missing the right endorsement language.

PINS gives GC teams and construction companies a better way to manage subcontractor COI compliance. AI-assisted review flags gaps before they become exposures. Automated renewals reduce the chasing. Native Procore and Vista integrations keep project managers and AP teams in the loop. Your team controls every approval.

Built for Construction compliance

What sets PINS apart for Construction

General contractors need more than document storage. Here is what PINS handles.

Endorsement language verification

PINS does not stop at certificate storage. AI-assisted review checks endorsements against your contract requirements, including additional insured wording, primary and non-contributory status, and waiver of subrogation language. Your team reviews flagged submissions and makes the final call.

Why it matters

A certificate with the right coverage limits but wrong endorsement language is still non-compliant. PINS catches both.

Procore integration

Subcontractor commitments flow from Procore into PINS automatically. Compliance status flows back, so project managers see current COI status without leaving the platform. Deep links into PINS give PMs direct access when they need more detail.

For GC teams

Project managers stay in Procore. Compliance teams work in PINS. Status stays current in both.

Audit-ready documentation

Every approval, rejection, waiver, and exception is logged with context and a timestamp. When an owner audit or insurance audit arrives, the history is already there. No reconstructing decisions made months earlier.

Why it matters

Auditors want to see what was approved, when, and why. PINS keeps that record automatically.

Vista integration

For construction teams running Vista by Viewpoint, PINS integrates with AP and subcontract workflows. Insurance status writes back to Vista to support payment hold controls and keep AP teams informed without manual updates.

For GC teams

AP teams see insurance status in Vista. Payment holds tie directly to compliance status.

Testimonials

What PINS customers say

The thing I love most about PINS is everything. It used to take us 2 days to send expired notices, but now I literally press a button and get all my expired notices done within 5 minutes. Our experience with PINS Customer Service has been outstanding, you can’t beat it!

Risk Manager, C.W. Driver
PINS creates transparency, everyone is on the same page with compliance items. What used to take 3 people is now done by 1 person, which freed them up to take on other key initiatives like safety compliance and SDI programs.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does PINS work for the construction industry?

PINS is built specifically for the subcontractor COI workflows that general contractors manage. GCs can track requirements by project and contract, collect certificates and endorsements from subcontractors through a no-login upload link, and review submissions against contract-specific requirements. Native Procore and Vista integrations reduce manual coordination between project management, field, and finance teams. General contractors managing high volumes of subs across multiple active projects are the primary use case for PINS.

How does PINS handle subcontractor COI compliance for construction companies?

PINS automates the collection, review, and renewal tracking stages of subcontractor COI compliance. Subcontractors receive a secure upload link and submit certificates and endorsements without creating an account. AI-assisted review checks submissions against your requirement templates, including coverage limits, endorsement language, and policy dates. When something is missing or does not meet requirements, the submission is flagged for your team to review. Your team approves, rejects, or waives each submission. Automated renewal notices go out before policies expire, so coverage does not lapse mid-project.

Does PINS integrate with Procore and Vista?

Yes. PINS has native integrations with both Procore and Vista by Viewpoint. The Procore integration pulls subcontractor commitments into PINS and writes compliance status back to Procore, so project managers can see COI status without leaving the platform. The Vista integration supports AP and subcontract workflows, with insurance status writing back to Vista to support payment hold controls. For construction teams running both platforms, PINS sits between them and keeps compliance data current in each system.

How does PINS verify endorsement language for construction contracts?

PINS reviews endorsements against the specific language in your contract requirements, not just form numbers or coverage types. AI-assisted review checks for additional insured wording, primary and non-contributory status, waiver of subrogation language, and completed operations coverage where required. When the endorsement language does not match the contract requirement, the submission is flagged. Your team reviews the flag, requests corrected documentation, or makes a documented waiver decision. The review process is AI-assisted, but your team makes every compliance judgment.

What construction teams use PINS?

PINS is used by general contractors, heavy civil contractors, roofing contractors, specialty trade contractors, and industrial construction teams. Commercial GCs managing large subcontractor rosters across multiple active projects are a core use case. Heavy civil teams working on public infrastructure projects use PINS alongside Vista for AP payment control and audit documentation. Morley Builders and C.W. Driver are PINS customers in the general contracting space. Construction teams managing a large number of subcontractors across active projects typically see the clearest return from PINS.
