Connecting Applied Epic users and vendors with real-time access for COI management to eliminate reliance on email and manual uploads, enhancing operational efficiency
CHICAGO and RALEIGH, N.C., June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Certificial, the pioneer of the Smart COI Network™ and the industry’s leading all-in-one Certificate of Insurance (COI) platform, and Applied Systems®, the leading global provider of cloud-based software for the insurance industry, today announced an exclusive integration to digitally connect Applied’s insurance agencies and brokers to Certificial’s vendor compliance network.
This strategic integration will enable Applied customers to seamlessly manage vendor management system COI requests directly within Applied Epic, enabling agencies to efficiently confirm coverages and issue the certificates for their clients. By eliminating manual back-and-forth and redundant uploads to third-party portals, agencies will benefit from increased operational efficiency and improved service delivery.
“The certificate issuance process between vendors and agencies has long been an inefficient challenge,” said Brian Giometti, SVP of Corporate Development, Applied Systems. “Integrating with Certificial allows us to bring efficiencies to our users while delivering transformative value to large-scale certificate holders.”
With this integration, Certificial’s Smart COI Network™ users gain greater visibility into their vendors’ insurance status, while Applied’s users benefit from centralized, automated workflows throughout the end-to-end policy lifecycle. This mutual advantage helps all parties reduce risk and build trust faster. Additionally, opting into the integration not only streamlines the COI intake process for Applied users but also enhances vendor credibility.
“Our integration marks a major step toward redefining how commercial insurance verification is handled as Applied continues to lead the way in enabling modern agency workflows, and we’re proud to work together to set a new standard for proof of insurance,” said Peter Teresi, co-founder and CEO of Certificial. “Many Smart COI Network™ members are increasingly focused on verifying vendor legitimacy in real time, and knowing that a vendor’s policies are active and validated dramatically reduces risk, and makes them far more attractive to do business with.”
Agencies using Applied Epic will be able to opt into the integration beginning in early July. Additional information on the opt-in process will be provided in the coming weeks on certificial.com/applied-enable-integration.
