COI tracking for performing arts venues

Rigging and staging crews overhead, touring productions in and out weekly, security and catering for every house — a venue’s risk lives with its vendors. An expired certificate on a load-in day is the gap you cannot afford.

The job

Where this gets hard

Rigging, staging, and lighting crews work overhead

Crews hanging lights and flying scenery carry serious risk, and their coverage is what backs an incident above a full house. A lapsed certificate mid-run is the nightmare. Automated 30/14/7-day reminders keep every crew current.

Touring productions rotate through fast

A different production loads in each week, each with its own contractors and coverage. Click "Request Update" to email each one from your name and collect a current certificate before the trucks arrive — not after.

Security and catering face the public directly

Crowd management, bar service, and catering all interact with the audience, where a lapse turns an incident into the venue’s problem. Keep every certificate on file and filter by status so none slips before a date.

FAQ — Performing arts venues

How do I stay ahead of a weekly touring turnover?

Add each production and its contractors as vendors with certificates and expiry dates. Reminders fire at 30, 14, and 7 days out, and "Request Update" emails the vendor from your name before load-in. Growth ($59/mo) adds CSV import for a busy season’s roster.

Which venue vendors should carry a COI?

Staging, rigging, and lighting crews, touring production companies, security and crowd management, and catering or bar service. Any vendor working the space or the crowd should have a current certificate on file.

Does COI Tracker confirm a production’s coverage is enough?

No. It stores the certificate the production sends and tracks its expiry — it doesn’t read, parse, or verify the policy. Confirm limits and endorsements with your broker; COI Tracker makes sure the current document is on file and warns you before it lapses.

Where are the certificates kept?

Each certificate PDF or photo is stored privately and served through signed URLs, so only your account can open it. You can also export your vendor list and statuses to CSV on every plan, including Free.

Not legal or insurance advice. Verify your specific contract and policy requirements with a licensed broker or attorney.
