Construction Management integration
Foundation Software COI compliance integration
Keep FOUNDATION's subcontractor insurance dates verified, so its expired-insurance alerts fire on the right vendors. Pikorua Security reads vendors, subcontracts and open AP from FOUNDATION exports, verifies each certificate and endorsement, and returns verified general liability and workers compensation expiration dates plus a hold list for AP before every check run.

Sync fields
What Pikorua Security reads from and writes to Foundation Software.
| Field | Direction | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Vendors and subcontractors | Foundation Software to Pikorua Security | Vendor ID, legal name and type from the FOUNDATION vendor list, matched on vendor ID first. |
| Subcontracts (PO and Subcontract module) | Foundation Software to Pikorua Security | Job, subcontract number and value, used to apply the right requirement template. |
| Open AP invoices | Foundation Software to Pikorua Security | Unpaid invoices by vendor, so each deficiency shows the dollars waiting on it. |
| General liability expiration | Pikorua Security to Foundation Software | Verified date for FOUNDATION's subcontractor compliance tracking, from the policy rather than the certificate's typed term. |
| Workers compensation expiration | Pikorua Security to Foundation Software | Verified date, with the WC 00 03 13 waiver checked wherever your subcontract requires one. |
| AP hold list | Pikorua Security to Foundation Software | Vendors to hold, the reason in plain words and the open invoice amounts, delivered the morning before each check run. |
Trigger events
When the certificate changes, Foundation Software changes with it.
- Hold
General liability or workers compensation expires
Then: The expired date is confirmed in the next file so FOUNDATION's compliance alert shows at invoice entry, and the vendor joins the AP hold list.
- Hold
Additional insured endorsement fails the exhibit
Then: Dates stay valid but the vendor goes on the hold list with the missing form, because FOUNDATION tracks dates, not endorsement wording.
- Warn
Policy expiring in 30 days
Then: The broker receives the day-30 request. No hold.
- Release
Renewal verified
Then: New dates go out in the next file and the vendor comes off the hold list before the next check run.

Dates FOUNDATION can act on
FOUNDATION, from Foundation Software in Strongsville, Ohio, is job cost accounting and payroll software built for contractors. Its subcontractor compliance tracking shows when a vendor's general liability or workers compensation insurance has expired, and the PO and subcontract module raises alerts on expired certificates. Its automatic payment holds are built around lien waivers. Insurance shows up as warnings driven by the dates on file.
Those warnings are only as accurate as the dates someone keyed from a certificate. Pikorua Security replaces keyed dates with verified ones and adds what FOUNDATION does not track at all: whether the additional insured, primary and non-contributory and waiver endorsements match the subcontract.
A hold list sized for a contractor's AP desk
Many FOUNDATION customers run AP with one or two people. The connector sends a single list before each check run: vendor, open invoices, total, reason and the date the broker was last contacted. AP can hold those checks in FOUNDATION in a few minutes, and the reason is documented if the subcontractor calls.
Because the verdict and the broker chase live in Pikorua Security, AP never has to read an endorsement. Deficiencies such as "CG 20 37 missing" or "auto limit below $1,000,000" arrive in plain words.
