PINS Advantage Review

Depends

Should I use PINS Advantage?

AI-assisted COI tracking software that automates insurance certificate collection and review. - pinsadvantage.com

· 5 days ago

Buy if you're a public agency or general contractor tracking hundreds of COIs and want AI-assisted, in-house review. Skip it if you have a handful of vendors. A spreadsheet and your broker will do.
