What's New

What we shipped, month by month. We publish these at least monthly, and the current month is updated as things ship.

Looking for how something works? That's the Help Center.

#2026-10

Vet a sub before you hire them, safety records read for you, every kind of third party in one place, and a report for your insurer's audit.

New

  • Vet a sub before you hire them

    Add a sub you're considering as a prospect, send one link for what you check before award, then approve, approve with conditions or decline. Approving sends the rest of your onboarding request. Prospects in the sidebar.

    Vet a prospect, then approve or decline →

  • Your own forms on the upload link

    Starter

    Attach your own blank form to any document you require, such as your prequalification questionnaire, and your subs download it from their link. Settings → Compliance → Your blank forms.

    Require documents from every contractor →

  • Safety records, read for you

    Starter

    File a sub's EMR letter or OSHA 300A as one and it's read: the mod rate, and TRIR and DART worked out from the 300A's hours and cases. Set a maximum EMR and TRIR in Settings to flag anyone above them. Figures are read, not verified.

    How EMR letters and OSHA 300As are read →

  • “Not applicable” for documents a small sub doesn't have

    Starter

    A sub with no EMR letter or OSHA log can answer “not applicable” with a reason, on their upload link or from your side, instead of staying Non-Compliant. Their answer is flagged until you confirm it.

    Require documents from every contractor →

  • Licenses found for your contractors

    We look your contractors up in the state databases, by the license numbers you entered and the names on their W-9s and certificates. Contractors → Review matches. Nothing is linked until you say so.

    Attach a license to a contractor →

  • Connecticut, Arkansas, Virginia and Ohio licenses

    Four more states whose licenses we check against the official records: Connecticut and Arkansas daily, Virginia weekly, and Ohio whenever we load the board's file.

    Which states we verify, and how often →

  • Projects now come with Starter

    Starter

    Grouping contractors by job or property, with per-project coverage requirements, moves from Pro to Starter. Per-project document lists and reports stay on Pro.

    What Projects are — and renaming them →

  • Vendors, tenants and renters in one roster

    Pro

    Add categories beside your vendors, from presets like Tenants, Renters and Franchisees or your own words. Each gets its own list in the sidebar, and one entity can be in several. Settings → Appearance.

    Organize third parties into categories →

  • Insurance audit report

    Pro

    Every contractor's general liability and workers' comp over your policy year, with each day uncovered, as a PDF, a spreadsheet, or a pack with every certificate behind it. Tools → Insurance Audit Report.

    Run an insurance audit report →

  • Uploads that say what they are

    A document uploaded to the Documents tab is read for you: a certificate or W-9 filed there is offered a move to the tab that reads it, and other documents get their type, expiry and a name suggested. Nothing changes until you click.

    Upload any other document →

  • Notes with a name and a date

    A contractor's notes are now a list on their own Notes tab, each one signed and dated. Notes are only ever seen by your team.

    The contractor page, tab by tab →

Improved

  • Bring your QuickBooks vendors in

    Starter

    Choose once which QuickBooks vendors are your contractors — all of them, or the ones marked for 1099 — and they're added or linked by name. Sync now brings in new and changed ones.

    Connect QuickBooks Online →

  • QuickBooks auto-sync

    Pro

    New and changed QuickBooks vendors reach your contractor list within minutes, without clicking Sync now, and owners get an email when one needs a decision.

    Connect QuickBooks Online →

  • The QuickBooks status file says why

    Starter

    A contractor's status PDF in QuickBooks now lists the same reasons as the Why? beside their badge, then what expires in the next 30 days. Every matched vendor gets the new file once.

    Connect QuickBooks Online →

  • QuickBooks Online is now on Starter

    Starter

    Match your contractors to QuickBooks vendors and keep a compliance status PDF on each vendor record, updated automatically. It used to need Pro.

    Connect QuickBooks Online →

  • Ask each sub for only what they need

    Starter

    Request Documents lists every required document the sub still owes. Untick what doesn't apply to this one, and the email, its reminders and their upload page leave it out.

    Request documents from a contractor →

  • Inactive contractors read Inactive

    A contractor you've marked inactive now shows Inactive instead of Compliant or Non-Compliant. Their documents stay on file, and switching them back shows their real status again.

    What Compliant, Non-Compliant and No Documents mean →

  • Preview an import on any plan

    Upload a contractor spreadsheet on any plan and see every row read and matched before anything is saved. Importing it still needs a plan with bulk import.

    Import contractors from a spreadsheet →

  • Requirements you've set but not switched on

    If you've chosen coverage or document requirements but haven't turned on enforcement, Settings and your dashboard now say so, instead of every contractor quietly staying green.

    Set required coverages and limits →

  • Follow-ups on every plan

    The one reminder a contractor gets when a request has gone three days with nothing uploaded now goes out on every plan, Free included.

    Request a COI from a contractor →

  • Know when paperwork arrives

    When a contractor uploads through their link, your team gets an email saying what came in and where they now stand. Switch it off on the Notifications tab in Settings.

    Request a COI from a contractor →

  • A clearer switch for automatic emails

    The switch on a contractor's page now says exactly what it sends, and that nothing already expired is ever sent automatically.

    How expiration alerts work →

Fixed

  • Your team's alerts for opted-out contractors

    Turning off a contractor's automatic emails no longer stopped your own team's expiry alerts about them. Only the emails to the contractor stop now.

    How expiration alerts work →

#2026-09

Help where you are working, deadlines in your own calendar, and requirements that say exactly what is missing.

New

  • A Help Center, and help inside the app

    Written help for every screen, plus a question mark in the corner of the app that opens the right article without navigating away.

    How TrackMyVendor is organized →

  • Calendar

    Every license, certificate and W-9 deadline in a month view, with a day view for chasing what is due. Under Calendar in the sidebar.

  • Subscribe to your deadlines

    Starter

    A calendar link you can add to Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. It refreshes on its own, so a renewal recorded here turns up there without anyone doing anything. Calendar → Subscribe.

    Subscribe to your deadlines in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar →

  • Endorsements read from certificates

    Pro

    Additional insured, waiver of subrogation and primary and non-contributory are now pulled out of an uploaded COI and shown on the certificate.

    What AI parsing reads off a certificate →

  • Chase everyone at once

    One button on the Action Queue emails every contractor with something outstanding — one message each, listing everything they owe. Nobody is emailed twice within 48 hours unless you choose to send anyway.

    The Action Queue explained →

  • Waive a coverage for one contractor

    A sole trader with no vehicle should not sit red forever for auto cover. Excuse one contractor from one requirement, with a reason on the record, and leave it standing for everyone else. Settings → Compliance to switch waivers on.

    Waive a coverage requirement for one contractor →

  • What each contractor carries, in one table

    The Insurance tab now opens with a line per coverage — what you require, what they hold, and whether it is enough — each linked to the certificate it came from. Renewed policy years move to an archive rather than reading as expired.

    Why a contractor shows as Non-Compliant →

  • Arizona licences

    Arizona joins the states whose licences we check against the official database. Every ROC classification is searchable — B-1 commercial through CR-42 roofing — in License Search and the public lookup.

    Which states we verify, and how often →

  • Require the paperwork, not just the insurance

    Starter

    Choose the documents every contractor must have on file — a W-9, a trade license, a signed subcontract — starting from a preset for your trade. They count toward compliance, and the upload link asks for them. Settings → Compliance.

    Require documents from every contractor →

  • Sub-limits, split auto limits and statutory workers' comp

    A coverage can now require the figures an ACORD 25 prints beyond the headline limit. Open Sub-limits & details under any coverage in Settings → Compliance; a line you leave alone is measured exactly as before.

    Set required coverages and limits →

  • Why is this contractor red?

    Every Non-Compliant badge has a Why? beside it, listing what is expired, missing or short, and which tab fixes it.

    Why a contractor shows as Non-Compliant →

  • Call contractors what you call them

    Vendors, Subcontractors, Suppliers or your own word — it changes across your screens, exports and weekly summary. Settings → Appearance, on every plan.

  • QuickBooks Online

    Pro

    Connect QuickBooks, match your contractors to its vendors, and keep a compliance status PDF on each vendor record. Settings → Integrations.

    Connect QuickBooks Online →

  • An API for your own tools

    Pro

    Read contractors and events, add contractors and send document requests from other software, with your API key or by signing in. Settings → Integrations lists every connected app and lets you disconnect it.

    TrackMyVendor API reference →

  • A follow-up when a request goes quiet

    Starter

    Three days after a request with nothing uploaded, the contractor gets one reminder carrying the same link. Anything else you send them resets the clock.

    What your contractors receive by email →

  • Auto-Reminders per contractor

    Starter

    Stop the automatic reminders for one contractor from their page. Anything you send by hand still goes out.

  • Add several contractors at once

    Type a batch of contractors into a table instead of one form at a time. Contractors → Add several at once.

    Add a contractor →

  • Book a call

    Pick a time with us straight from the site rather than trading emails about it.

Improved

  • A dashboard that starts with today

    The dashboard now leads with what needs you, then what is waiting on contractors, then roster health. The Action Queue is a worklist — Expired, requirements, Expiring, No response — with the next step on every row.

    The Action Queue explained →

  • Assignment requirements count everywhere

    Pro

    A contractor short of an active assignment's coverage or documents is now Non-Compliant on their own page and the roster too, not only on that assignment.

    Set per-project insurance requirements →

  • A clearer upload page for contractors

    The link now shows what is still needed, each with its own upload box, above what is already on file. Anything sent as “something else” waits on the Documents tab for you to classify.

    You got a link asking for documents →

  • Sending again asks first

    Remind a contractor emailed in the last 48 hours and you are told who emailed them and when, with a Send anyway button, rather than nothing happening.

  • Manage your team

    Settings → Team shows pending invitations, and owners can revoke one or remove a member.

    Invite a teammate →

  • Renewal reminders now match the deadline

    A ninety-day heads-up and a seven-day warning no longer read the same. Every reminder also carries an upload link, so a contractor can act on it without hunting for the last email we sent them.

    How expiration alerts work →

  • Choose what we email you about

    Announcements and release notes are now a preference of their own, separate from compliance alerts. Settings → Notifications.

  • First-run pointers

    New accounts get a short pointer on each main screen, shown once. Turn them back on any time from Settings → Advanced.

  • Bulk import is now on Starter

    Starter

    Bringing a roster over from a spreadsheet, or a folder of certificates, no longer needs Pro. Tools → Data Import.

    Import contractors from a spreadsheet →

  • Coverage requirements are yours to switch on

    The four coverages were on for every account whether or not anyone had chosen them. They are now measured only once you tick Enforce these requirements, so the limits you set are the ones you are judged against. Settings → Compliance.

    Set required coverages and limits →

  • Free accounts see what they are missing

    The weekly summary and the request screens now say plainly which reminders a paid plan would send on your behalf, instead of quietly not sending them.

Fixed

  • Documents and Requests paginate

    Both loaded every row at once, which got slow for larger rosters.

  • Calendar navigation

    Moving between months could land on the wrong one.

  • A lapsed coverage with no replacement no longer hides

    One clean certificate could silence every expired line a contractor held. A coverage is only treated as renewed when something actually renewed it.

  • Upload links accept everything

    A contractor sent a link for one document type could not use it to send another. Every link now takes licenses, certificates, W-9s and anything else.

#2026-08

Agencies, real billing, and a lot more detail out of your certificates.

New

  • Agency portal

    Agency

    Brokers, risk managers and PM firms can hold a portfolio of client organizations, see every client's exceptions in one queue, and step into a client to work. Clients authorize the agency themselves, and can withdraw it.

    Getting started in the agency console →

  • Weekly compliance summary

    A Monday digest of every contractor with something expired or expiring. On every plan, including Free. Settings → Notifications to turn it off.

    The weekly compliance summary email →

  • Action Queue, Documents and Requests as their own screens

    What needs doing, everything you hold, and everything you have asked for — three separate pages instead of tabs buried on the dashboard.

    The Action Queue explained →

  • Call assignments what you call them

    Pro

    Projects, Properties, Jobs, Sites — pick the word your team already uses and it changes everywhere, exports included. Settings → Labels.

  • Receipts and card management

    Every payment produces a downloadable receipt, and card, billing address and VAT details are handled through Stripe's own portal. Settings → Billing.

    Find invoices and update your card →

  • Contact name and phone on a contractor

    So you know who you are actually chasing, not just the company.

  • Activity on a contractor

    A timestamped record of what has happened to that contractor, on their own page.

    The contractor page, tab by tab →

Improved

  • Pro is now $59 a month, down from $79

    Existing subscriptions moved to the lower price too.

  • Certificates give up more detail

    Per-coverage limits and the effective and expiry dates of each coverage are now read out of a COI, rather than one date for the whole certificate.

    What AI parsing reads off a certificate →

  • License search adds the contractor for you

    Find a license, and the contractor is created and linked in the same step.

    Search a state license database →

  • Faster license lookup

    Search across all seven states now returns in a fraction of the time, and the state coverage lists are correct.

  • An expired trial no longer moves you to Free behind your back

    Your subscription stays on the plan you picked, paid features pause, and one checkout resumes them. You also get a reminder before the trial ends.

    Start a trial, upgrade, or change plan →

  • Request Documents is where you would look for it

    Moved out of the contractor's panel and onto the page itself.

Fixed

#2026-07

A quiet month: better W-9 reading, and a tidier site.

Improved

  • W-9 reading keeps up with the model behind it

    W-9 extraction now follows the current version of the model we use rather than a pinned one, which reads unusual and older layouts more reliably.

    What AI parsing reads off a W-9 →

  • Guides for three more trades

    Industry guides covering what compliance actually looks like in three more lines of work.

Want these in your inbox?

Account holders can turn release notes on under Settings → Notifications. They're separate from compliance alerts, so you can have one without the other.
