Stop chasing paperwork across email threads

SubShield reads the documents, checks the state record, and turns it all into a single, color-coded verdict for every subcontractor.

How it works

Three steps to a clear roster

1

Request the documents

Email each subcontractor a secure magic link to upload their current Certificate of Insurance.

2

Let SubShield read & verify

Fields are extracted from the certificate and the license is checked against the state DBPR record.

3

See who's cleared

Every sub gets a green, amber, or red verdict — with a plain-language list of what still needs action.

Built for the field

Clear enough for anyone on the team

Green, amber, red — at a glance

Inspection-style status placards mean anyone can tell who's good to work without reading the fine print.

CLEAREDEXPIRINGACTION NEEDED

Expiry alerts

Amber 30 days before a COI lapses and 45 days before a license does — before it bites you.

W-9 on file

Track the W-9 right alongside insurance and licensing, so nobody gets paid out of compliance.

One source of truth

Every certificate, license, and contact detail for every subcontractor in a single roster.

Endorsement checks

Flags a missing Additional Insured or Waiver of Subrogation as action-needed, not cleared.

From the jobsite

Made for how GCs actually work

Illustrative — your own subcontractor data lives in the dashboard.

"Renewals used to slip through the cracks. Now amber shows up weeks early and we just send the link."
