Most contractor-compliance tools are heavy accreditation schemes or enterprise platforms. COI Tracker does the one job most Irish teams actually need: track every contractor’s insurance certificate expiry and chase the renewal automatically.

The job
Safe-T-Cert and similar schemes assess a contractor’s safety management roughly once a year — valuable, but not live insurance-expiry tracking. Between assessments you’re back to a spreadsheet. COI Tracker watches every certificate date for you.
Full contractor-management suites bundle risk assessments, RAMS and inductions you may not need. If the real pain is lapsed certificates, a focused tracker beats a platform you’ll use a fraction of.
With statutory CIRI registration phasing in through 2026 — and requiring proof of liability cover — letting a certificate lapse is no longer just a contract risk. A simple tool that keeps every date current is suddenly worth a lot.
Typical vendors ireland contractor compliance track
Contractor compliance software stores your contractors’ documents — chiefly insurance certificates — tracks each one’s expiry date, and reminds you (and optionally the contractor) before it lapses, so you always have current proof on file. COI Tracker focuses on the insurance-certificate side; it organises and reminds rather than verifying cover or accrediting safety management.
Safe-T-Cert (and UK schemes like CHAS) accredit a contractor’s wider health-and-safety competence once a year. COI Tracker just tracks insurance-certificate expiry and chases renewals — a narrower, cheaper job. Many Irish firms use an accreditation scheme and COI Tracker together rather than choosing one.
Indirectly, yes. CIRI requires you to hold and prove adequate insurance, and with mandatory registration phasing in through 2026 it helps to have every contractor’s certificate and expiry date in one place. COI Tracker keeps that record current — it tracks and reminds; it doesn’t register you or verify the cover. Confirm requirements with CIRI and your broker.
Yes. The free plan (3 contractors) and the free tools — the expired-certificate scanner and the tracking-spreadsheet template — work identically for Irish users; nothing is region-locked. The whole product (magic-link sign-in, certificate storage, email reminders, CSV import, checkout) works the same in Ireland as in North America.
