Best for
Small businesses, property managers, contractors, and operations teams that need a simple expiration-and-follow-up layer for vendor insurance records.
Vendor insurance expiration reminders
Vendor insurance and COI expiration reminders without a full compliance platform.
Track vendor insurance and certificate-of-insurance expiration dates, reminder ownership, and follow-up status in a lightweight deadline workflow.
Private preview. Core deadline, reminder, import, completion, renewal, and history workflows are live behind sign-in. External employee/client delivery remains gated while recipient testing is completed.
Not designed for
Organizations that require automated certificate collection, insurance-limit validation, endorsement analysis, vendor portals, or enterprise vendor-compliance workflows.
A focused reminder workflow
More persistent than a calendar notification.
Deadline Hawk is intended for teams that need to know when vendor insurance evidence is approaching expiration and who must follow up. It does not pretend to replace full COI collection, policy parsing, coverage-rule validation, or vendor onboarding systems.
Common uses
- Vendor certificate expirations
- Subcontractor insurance follow-up
- Property-service vendor coverage dates
- Recurring COI review reminders
Why spreadsheets fall short
The date is only half the job.
- Vendor insurance dates can be scattered across inboxes, shared drives, spreadsheets, and property or project records.
- Generic vendor-compliance systems may include far more workflow than a small team needs.
- Knowing that a certificate expired is less useful than knowing who must obtain the replacement before it expires.
Three important outcomes
Keep the roster accurate. Make the next action obvious.
Expiration visibility without COI-platform overhead
Keep the vendor, expiration date, responsible person, notes, and follow-up status in one lightweight reminder record.
Reminder stages before lapse
Start follow-up early and escalate as the expiration date approaches if updated evidence has not been recorded.
Clear boundary around verification
Deadline Hawk tracks the date and workflow entered by the user; it does not certify that coverage is valid or sufficient.
Example workflow
Start early. Increase urgency. Confirm the outcome.
- 45 days before
Start vendor follow-up
Surface the upcoming expiration while there is time to request updated evidence.
- 21 days before
Confirm responsibility
Keep the vendor and internal owner visible if replacement documentation remains open.
- 7 days before
Escalate the gap
Increase urgency when the expiration is near and the record is still unresolved.
- When received
Record the new date
Confirm the updated record and preserve the next expiration date.
Questions
Common questions about this workflow.
Does Deadline Hawk verify insurance coverage?
No. It tracks user-entered dates, responsibility, and follow-up status. Coverage verification must come from the certificate, insurer, broker, or another authoritative source.
Is this a complete vendor-compliance system?
No. This page is intentionally limited to expiration reminders and follow-up workflow rather than onboarding, document collection, coverage rules, or enterprise compliance controls.
Can one vendor have multiple insurance expiration dates?
Yes. Separate records can be used when different policies or certificates need their own dates and reminder sequences.
Can reminders continue until replacement evidence is received?
That is the intended workflow: reminders remain active or escalate until the responsible person records the updated status.
Stay ahead
Keep the tracker. Automate the chasing.
Start with the deadlines and certification dates you already know, then add reminders, completion states, renewal history, and reporting around them.
