CertShield is vendor insurance compliance software that reads certificates of insurance and checks coverage against company requirements. It reviews ACORD certificates for limits, expiration dates, additional-insured endorsements, primary and non-contributory coverage, and waiver of subrogation. Every verdict receives human review before publication; fields below 90% confidence or failed checks are sent for review against the original PDF. Renewal chasing can email vendors and insurance agents in English and Spanish. Vendors can submit corrected certificates through password-free magic links or by email. CSV and email intake are available, while native AppFolio and Buildium sync is marked as coming soon. The Business plan includes a public API and webhooks for document.published and vendor.status_changed events. Plans are billed monthly without annual contracts: Starter is 99.00 USD for 25 vendors, Pro 249.00 USD for 100, and Business 499.00 USD for unlimited vendors. A free audit covers three certificates without a card.

CertShield is intended for US property managers with 20–2,000 units and general contractors with 10–100 subcontractors. It suits teams tracking vendor insurance documents, renewals and compliance requirements.
