Fort Worth, Texas-based Higginbotham & Associates announced it has launched CertCon WebReport, an Internet-based tool that enables clients to track vendors’ Certificates of Insurance. The technology was developed by the agency’s CertCon Services unit, an in-house contract and certificate management group.
Higginbotham initiated the software application in 2001 when CertCon founder and director Rick Carson joined the agency. CertCon processes the Certificates of Insurance required by clients from their many vendors, tenants and subcontractors as necessitated in their business agreements. Higginbotham offers the risk management program as a supplement to clients’ insurance policies to help ensure customers are adequately protected from property and liability claims. The method of delivery for reports on vendors’ coverage status required users to download a database in regular intervals from Certcon’s Web site.
WebReport gives clients access to this information and only requires that they have Internet connection. The username and password-sensitive program also has the added time-saving functionality to allow for user requests to add, delete and change data; create and download custom reports; request waiver of vendor requirements; generate vendor communique; and interact with service representatives from any Internet browser in real time.
“The new WebReport is very user friendly,” said user Stasha Duhon of Denbury Resources Inc. “It alleviates the work load involved in managing our insurance program and enhances the data that’s available to us.”
Any client that manages contractual insurance requirements for multiple vendors can utilize WebReport, including oil and gas operators with Master Service Agreements, property managers with leases and general contractors with subcontractor agreements.
Transportation companies can also use WebReport to verify driver coverage, as well as medical facilities that lease office space to doctors and financial lending institutions for asset protection.
