From paperwork to project clearance

Know which subcontractors are cleared for every project.

Policyhold gives General Contractors one current view of who is cleared to work — and what is still in the way.

It keeps the whole workflow current. It is not just a place to store COIs.

HOW IT WORKS TODAY

The documents exist. A current answer often does not.

Most General Contractors run subcontractor compliance across email, PDFs, spreadsheets, shared drives, and calendar reminders. The work gets done. It is hard to know what is actually current.

  1. Intake

    1. Subcontractor
    2. email
    3. PDF
  2. Tracking

    1. spreadsheet
    2. shared drive
    3. manual review
  3. Chasing

    1. follow-up
    2. another email
    3. spreadsheet update
Still hard to answer

A GC may have hundreds of documents and still struggle to know:

  • Is this subcontractor approved?

  • Is their insurance current?

  • Are the required endorsements there?

  • What is missing?

  • What expires next?

  • Can they work on this project?

  • Who needs to follow up?

WHERE POLICYHOLD SITS

One system in the middle of the workflow.

Subcontractor documents come in. Your team reviews them against requirements. Status stays current. Project and field teams see who is ready.

Subcontractor or broker

Sends COIs and other documents by upload, vendor portal, or emailed request.

Documents and coverage info

Insurance, endorsements, licenses, and the rest of the packet enter one record.

  3. Clear the project

    See whether the subcontractor is ready to work.

WHO USES IT

The same current record, used by the whole team.

Policyhold is not a different product for each role. It is one system. Different people come to it for different questions.

Operations

Are we current across jobs?

See compliance across projects without chasing updates from different people.

Compliance and risk

What is missing, and who owns it?

Keep requirements, documents, reviews, renewals, and decisions in one place.

Project managers

Can they start work on this project?

Know which subcontractors are cleared, pending, or blocked before work starts.

Leadership

Where is the exposure?

Get a clear view of compliance and project readiness across the business.

PROJECT READINESS

Can this subcontractor work on this project?

Documents are not the decision. Project clearance is. Your team sees who can work and who is still holding the job up.

Policyhold does not promise zero delays. It makes the current status visible so the team can act.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Built around the actual compliance workflow.

Subcontractor compliance
  • Vendor directory

    Keep subcontractors, contacts, and assignments in one place.

  • Projects and requirements

    Assign vendors to projects and set what each one must provide.

  • Document collection

    Upload, vendor portal, or a tracked request.

  • Review and status

    Capture the decision on the record, not in an email thread.

Staying current
  • Expiration tracking

    See what is coming due before coverage lapses.

  • Renewal requests

    Ask for updated documents with a tracked request, not another loose email.

  • Follow-ups

    See what was sent, opened, uploaded, or is overdue.

  • Escalations

    When nothing moves, the gap is raised to the right owner.

Project readiness
  • Approved, pending, or blocked

    Clearance by project, not by hunting through folders.

  • Mobilization view

    A project-level view of who can go on site.

  • Outstanding issues

    See what is missing and who owns the follow-up.

  • Audit trail

    Reviews, decisions, and status changes stay on record.
