Enterprise compliance vs event tracking

Enterprise COI tools are designed for continuous vendor compliance across large organizations — powerful, but more than most venues need. Venues have a narrower, repeating job:

  • A new set of vendors per event, tied to the event date.
  • No-login uploads for small vendors who won't join a portal.
  • Event coverage checks — liquor liability, additional insured, dates.
