COI tracking for breweries

Between the canning line, the distributor trucks, and the entertainers in your taproom, plenty of outside vendors move through your brewery. One uninsured lapse can land on you.

The job

Where this gets hard

A taproom event turns an uninsured act into your liability

Live music, food trucks, and pop-ups draw crowds — and if a performer or vendor is uninsured when someone gets hurt, the brewery is exposed. Automated reminders keep each certificate current.

Production equipment techs work around dangerous systems

Glycol, CO2, and canning-line contractors service high-risk equipment. A lapse in their coverage during a mishap is your problem. Track each certificate and get flagged before it expires.

Distributor and landlord agreements demand proof

Your distribution partners and property lease may require evidence that contractors carry coverage. Filter by status and export a CSV proof-of-coverage list — on every plan, including Free.

FAQ — Breweries

Which brewery vendors should carry their own insurance?

Anyone working your production floor or taproom: equipment technicians, distributors, cleaning crews, and the performers or food trucks you host at events. Add each as a vendor and track the certificate.

How do I chase a certificate from an equipment contractor?

Click "Request Update" and COI Tracker emails them from your name asking for a current certificate. They reply, you upload the PDF, and the expiry date and reminders refresh automatically.

Can I keep proof ready for a distributor or landlord?

Yes. Every certificate is stored privately and reachable in one click, and you can export a CSV proof-of-coverage list — included on every plan — to send whenever a partner asks.

How many vendors can I track and what does it cost?

The Free plan covers 3 vendors. Breweries with taproom events and multiple contractors usually move to Starter at $29/mo, or Growth at $59/mo which adds CSV import.
