COI tracking software vs. spreadsheets
The default for most small operators: a shared spreadsheet plus email chasing.
Free — but it costs ~6 hours a week and misses expirations.
Where Spreadsheets & Email is strong
- ✓ No software cost and total familiarity.
- ✓ Fine for a tiny handful of vendors.
Where it leaves small businesses underserved
- • No automatic reminders — expirations are missed until it's too late.
- • No verification — limits and endorsements go unchecked.
- • Error-prone and impossible to audit; a single stale row has led to six-figure exposure.
Choose Spreadsheets & Email if…
You have three vendors and low risk.
Choose CoverSynx if…
You want the reminders, verification, and audit trail a spreadsheet can never provide.
FAQ
Why move off spreadsheets for COI tracking?
Spreadsheets don't remind you before a policy expires or verify coverage — the two things that actually prevent liability. CoverSynx automates both.
