Every proposal that reaches you is from a vendor whose COI already cleared your minimums.
Every company files general liability and workers’ compensation before it can propose on your work. In every trade but painting there is a third: the credential that trade’s own work requires. A person here reads each certificate and records its expiration date.

Every RFP you send carries your minimums.
Set them once. Every request you publish carries them, and a company that falls short of one cannot answer it. By the time the proposals are in front of you, that question has already been asked of all of them.
Documents in, read by a person, measured against the minimums you set.
Automation and AI
Four things here run themselves.
One of the four below is a language model writing sentences. The other three are math, a schedule and a rulebook. We tell you which is which, because that is why you can trust a number on this page.
Language modelMath and schedules
Writing the RFP
You type a sentence. It comes back as a numbered RFP.
Say what you need the way you would say it out loud — “Weekly cut with the beds kept, clippings hauled off. Add the perimeter strip before storm season.” VendoRFP reads that against a trade vocabulary it was given, sorts it into services and a visit schedule, and quotes the exact phrase it matched for each one back to you. A sentence it does not recognize rides through into the document word for word.
Phrase matching against a fixed vocabulary. Every line in the finished document traces back to words you typed.
Writing the proposal
AI writes the words around the numbers.
A vendor prices the services and quantities first. A language model takes that finished list and writes the summary paragraph and the value bullets your board reads, so the proposal arrives in plain English.
The model is handed line items with the dollar figures stripped out. Prices come from a rate card. If the model cannot be reached, the proposal goes out with a fixed draft instead.
Finding the vendors
Vendors find your open RFPs on a map.
Open RFPs appear as pins for the vendors qualified to answer them, one pin per property, wherever the work is. A vendor sees where a job is before they see whose it is; your name reaches them once they are vetted for that state and that scope. Then they propose, and you decide.
A map of open work, grouped by property. Proposals reach you in the order they were sent.
Watching the paperwork
The vendor hears from us while a certificate still has time to run.
Every certificate on file carries the date it runs out, and a job walks all of them once a day. The company hears from us 30 days ahead, again at 14, again at 3, and on the day the policy lapses. A lapsed policy gets 30 days to come back in force; past that, the company cannot propose on your work until it does.
4 messages on a fixed schedule, and the deadline you print on a request closes it on the day you set.
Prices are math against a rate card. The model writes sentences, and only sentences.
Type what your organization needs — or upload the RFP your attorney has already been through; it goes out as your exhibit. VendoRFP writes the formal Request for Proposals around your own words and publishes it to insured vendors. Their proposals arrive in the order they are sent, every one of them insured, and nobody ranks them. You compare them side by side, pick one, and sign with that vendor. The names and figures below are made up for the example.

Every industry buys work its own way — different documents, different seasons, different people signing off. So we build for one industry at a time, for the people who sign the contracts in it. Six have their own doors today, each in its own language below.
Community associations
HOAs, condominiums, and the companies that manage them.
A board or a manager maps the association’s shared ground from parcel data, sets the standards a vendor has to clear, publishes an RFP for pool care, landscaping, porter work or amenity staffing, and takes the proposals to a vote. After the award the schedule, the visits, the invoices and every certificate live under the association they belong to.
Run your community from one map, built for HOA boards and community managers.
Publish RFPs for local, verified vendors to answer with a proposal. Share the proposals with your board and let them vote from their phones. From then on your vendor stays in one place: service reports, invoices, whether their certificate of insurance is still current, and how they have performed. Your community sets its vendor standards once, and every proposal is checked against them before it reaches your board. The community drawn below is an example.

Map out your community and pin where your amenities are.
Map your community first — every amenity and feature on the property. That becomes the basis for every proposal and service request after.
The map separates your common ground from the homes.
The map splits into ground, homes, and common green, so the ground your community keeps is visible at a glance, and every pin carries its own record.
This is your dashboard, on day one.
What you just watched is the first screen you land on. Every amenity’s pin sits beside its live record: the vendor who works it, the visits filed this week. Hover over a row and its pin lights up on the map.
If you run a service company, get verified once and that status travels to every RFP you answer. Read what is published, answer the ones that suit you with a priced proposal, and skip the rest.
