Certificial – the creator of the Smart COI Network – recently announced a $15 million round of funding led by Nyca Partners. And Nyca joins IA Capital, Fin Capital, Cofounders Capital, Cameron Ventures, and Nationwide Ventures as investors. Over the past year, Certificial has gained significant traction among the risk management community and with insurance brokers.
Certificial is a pioneer in business insurance monitoring technology that leverages its patented software to monitor insurance data in real-time and ensure businesses have continuous, compliant insurance coverage in their supply chain. And the solution combines certificate issuance and compliance management into one simple platform, eliminating risk, ensuring compliance, and reducing costs for every stakeholder in the certificate of insurance (COI) process: Insureds, Agents & Brokers, and Requestors.
Most B2B relationships require vendors to provide proof of insurance prior to delivering goods or services. And this process has traditionally been accomplished using a point-in-time certificate of insurance that only verifies the coverage the day the COI was issued. Certificial’s Smart COI Network enables agencies to issue dynamically updated Smart COI’s, enabling companies to monitor their vendors’ insurance continuously.
