Delta Hauling
W-9
Renewal requested
Delta Hauling was sent their portal link. When the document arrives it's read, filed, and checked automatically.
An expired document doesn't announce itself.
The certificate lapses quietly in a folder called "Insurance 2024 FINAL(2)." The license renewal sits unopened in somebody's inbox. The W-9 doesn't match anything come January.
You find out at the worst possible moment — the denied claim, the stopped job site, the audit letter.
It's never carelessness. It's that documents live scattered across inboxes, folders, and spreadsheets, each with a date somebody's supposed to be watching — and the tracking always lands on whoever has the least time. Usually the owner. Usually at night.
How it works
From inbox chaos to effortless compliance
Four steps, and the paperwork stops being your second job.
- 1
Drop it in — or let them
Forward, drag, or upload any document. Better: your vendors, subs, and customers get their own portal link and upload their paperwork themselves. The chasing is the software's job now.
- 2
AI reads it. You stay in control
Fulcrum extracts what matters — carrier, limits, dates, names, terms — and files everything to the right vendor or customer automatically. Anything the AI isn't certain about is flagged for review, so nothing unverified ever enters your compliance record.
- 3
Nothing lapses quietly
Every expiration is tracked with alerts at 30, 15, and 7 days. Coverage that falls short of what a contract requires gets flagged the moment the document lands — not after the claim is denied.
- 4
Everything in one place
Vendors, customers, and subcontractors — with their documents, their status, and their history — on one screen. Two-way QuickBooks sync, with links to the compliance documents attached to the records they belong to.
Who it's for
Built for the businesses that live on other people's paperwork
Trades & construction
COIs from every sub. Licenses with renewal dates. Lien waivers, W-9s, contracts. One lapsed cert can mean a back-charge, a stopped site, or a denied claim — Fulcrum watches all of it, and your subs upload their own paperwork.
Vendor-heavy small businesses on QuickBooks
If 1099 season means chasing W-9s, and "where's their insurance cert?" is a real question at your company, Fulcrum makes your documents as organized as your books.
Two-way QuickBooks sync keeps your vendors, subcontractors, and customers matched in both systems — and pushes links to their compliance documents (W-9s, COIs, tax exemptions) onto the matching QuickBooks record, so the evidence behind a relationship finally lives where your books already are.
The platform
Everything you need, nothing you don't
One system for every document your business runs on — and every deadline hiding inside them.
Nothing lapses quietly
Every expiration date is tracked from the moment a document lands, with renewal alerts at 30, 15, and 7 days — to you and to the vendor who owes you the renewal.
AI that reads your paperwork
COIs, contracts, W-9s, licenses — Fulcrum extracts the carrier, limits, dates, names, and terms, and files each document to the right vendor, customer, or subcontractor. No templates, no manual data entry.
Flagged when it isn't sure
Anything below full confidence goes to a review queue before it enters your compliance record. The system never pretends to certainty it doesn't have.
One engine for every relationship
Customers, vendors, and subcontractors managed together — their documents, status, and history on one screen instead of scattered across spreadsheets and inboxes.
Self-service partner portals
No login to remember, no account to create. When a document is missing or expiring, Fulcrum sends the link and your partner uploads it themselves.
Connected to QuickBooks
Two-way QuickBooks sync, with links to the compliance documents attached to the records they belong to.
Why we built it
Fortune 500 companies have entire departments and dedicated platforms for document compliance. The 32 million small businesses in America get spreadsheets and sticky notes.
A fulcrum is the small bit of leverage that lets a small team move a heavy load. That's the product, and the point.
Balance your documents and compliance — without compromise.
