Compliance status · Reports

Every Contractor's Compliance Status, Red or Green, at a Glance

One list, every contractor, one status each. Green is covered today. Red comes with the reason written next to it, whether that's an expired license or a certificate below your limit. It updates the moment a document arrives, so nobody has to re-check the spreadsheet before a job.

Status on every plan, including Free · PDF and Excel reports on Pro

Three statuses, decided by your requirements

No percentages and no letter grades. A contractor either meets what you require or doesn't, and a list you can read in five seconds is only useful if each colour means one thing.

Compliant

Everything you require is on file and in date. A certificate expiring in three weeks is still in force, so the contractor is still covered today.

Non-Compliant

Something you require has lapsed, is missing, or falls short of your minimum. The reason is written beside the badge.

No Documents

Nothing has been filed yet. Where every new contractor starts, and deliberately not counted as a failure.

What turns a contractor red

A license has expired

One expired license is enough. A license is a permission, not a document you re-file each year.

A required coverage is missing, expired, not yet in force or below your minimum

Checked per coverage line against each policy's own dates, so a certificate can lapse one line at a time.

Every dated document in a collection has expired

Last year's certificate sitting next to this year's is history, not a failure.

A document you require is missing or expired

Only when you switch on required documents (Starter and up). A W-9 counts toward status only if you list it as required.

A requirement of an active project they are assigned to is not met

Starter and up. Finished projects stop counting the day they end.

The minimums and document lists behind these rules are yours to set: a default floor for everyone, and stricter requirements on the jobs that call for them. See custom compliance rules, and the subcontractor and vendor risk management guide for where a status report fits among the controls.

A reason beside every red badge

A red dot on its own starts an investigation. Hover or tap Why? next to a Non-Compliant badge and it lists every rule the contractor is failing, in plain sentences, each linked to the tab where you fix it.

The explanation comes from the same checks that set the colour, so the two can never disagree. It's the difference between "Apex Drywall is red" and "Apex Drywall's umbrella policy isn't on file for Harbor Tower", which is an email you can send right away.

Apex Drywall LLC Non-Compliant Why?
  • Electrical license expired Aug 14, 2026
  • General Liability is $1,000,000, below the $2,000,000 minimum
  • Harbor Tower: Umbrella coverage is not on any certificate
  • Form W-9 is required and not on file

Real-time contractor compliance status, without re-checking anything

Status isn't a field someone remembers to update. It's worked out from what's on file every time you look, so it's never out of date with the documents it describes.

A document arrives, the badge moves

A contractor uploads a renewed COI from their phone through their one-time link. The dates and limits are read off the certificate, and they're green the next time anyone opens the list.

A date passes, the badge moves

Nobody has to notice that a policy ended at midnight. The day after expiry, the contractor is red, with the policy and date named under Why?.

A license changes at the state

Linked licenses are refreshed from state license databases every day, so an expiry the board records shows up without anyone searching for it.

What's due next: the Action Queue

Green tells you who's covered today. The Action Queue tells you who won't be soon. It lists everything already expired, everything expiring in the next 30 days and every contractor short of a requirement, worst first, so the morning's work is one screen.

From there you can request renewals from everyone on it in one go. Each contractor gets one email listing what they owe, with their upload link. Every Monday your team also gets a summary email of the same list, on every plan.

Status per project

Pro

A contractor can be fine for the warehouse fit-out and short for the hospital job that needs a $5M umbrella. Each project grades its own contractors against its own requirements, so its page answers "who is cleared for this job?"

The contractor's overall badge carries every active project they're on as well. Anyone red on a project's page is red everywhere, so nothing slips through because you were looking at the wrong list.

Compliance reports for owners, insurers and auditors

Pro

Status is for you. A report is for whoever asked you to prove it. Export a PDF to send as it is, or Excel to sort and filter. Every report is dated the day it was generated, and that's the first thing an auditor checks.

From the contractor list

The whole roster with each contractor's current status. What you hand an insurer or keep for your own records.

From the dashboard

The organization-wide picture: how many are compliant, what has expired and what is coming due.

From the a project

Only that job's contractors, graded against that job's requirements. Usually the one an owner is actually asking for.

Need to show what happened and when, rather than where things stand today? That's the compliance audit trail: every upload, change, waiver and notice, with who did it.

What the status does not grade

A status you can trust has edges you know about.

  • —Safety performance. There are no EMR, TRIR or OSHA-log ratings. If you collect an EMR letter or a safety plan, make it a required document and its presence and expiry count.
  • —Finances, credit or bonding capacity.
  • —Anything you haven't required. A missing W-9 or auto policy changes nothing until it's on your list.
  • —Weights and percentages. If you want a weighted scorecard, our guide to building a contractor compliance scorecard covers the spreadsheet method.

In the Help Center: what each status means, why a contractor is not compliant and exporting a compliance report.

Simple, transparent pricing

Compliance status, Why? and the Action Queue are on every plan. Required documents and per-project status count from Starter; PDF and Excel reports come with Pro.

Frequently asked questions

Which platforms show green or red compliance status for every contractor at a glance?
TrackMyVendor does: the contractor list shows every contractor as Compliant, Non-Compliant or No Documents, with counts for each across the top and the problems sorted first. Beside each Non-Compliant badge, Why? lists exactly what caused it. It is on every plan, including Free.
How do I track contractor compliance status in real time?
Status is worked out from what is on file each time you open a screen. Nothing waits for a nightly recalculation: when a contractor uploads a renewed certificate through their link, their badge is green the next time anyone looks. License data comes from daily state-database imports, and certificates are read automatically as they arrive.
Is there a compliance score or percentage?
No, by design. A weighted score can show 90% for a contractor whose license is suspended, and that is not 90%, it is a stop. Each contractor is either compliant with your requirements or not, and the reason is spelled out. If you want to build a weighted scorecard of your own, our guide to building a contractor compliance scorecard walks through it.
Why is a contractor with an expiring certificate still green?
Because they are covered today. The badge answers "are they covered right now?" Deadlines coming up in the next 30 days are listed in the Action Queue and counted on each contractor's row, so you can chase the renewal before the badge ever turns red.
Does TrackMyVendor score safety records such as EMR or TRIR?
No. Status covers licenses, insurance and the documents you require. It does not rate safety performance, incident rates or finances. If you collect an EMR letter or a safety plan, you can make it a required document and its presence and expiry will count.
Can I export a compliance report for an owner or an auditor?
Yes, on Pro. PDF and Excel reports export from the contractor list, the dashboard and each project, and every report carries the date it was generated. Anyone can open them; they do not need an account.
Can I see what happened, not just where things stand?
Yes. Status is where things stand today; the compliance audit trail is what happened and when: every upload, change, deletion, waiver and notice, with who did it.
Which plan do I need?
Status, Why?, the Action Queue and the weekly summary email are on every plan, including Free. Required documents and per-project status count from Starter. PDF and Excel reports are on Pro. See pricing for the full comparison.
