Updated over a week ago

All certificates available and up-to-date at all times - for you and contractors.

Certificates are an important. However, it also takes a lot of time to send requests by email to individual contractors and project partners, upload them to the various systems and check whether all certificates are available and up-to-date.

Managing certificates in Cosuno offers you the following advantages:

  • Centralized management for less e-mail effort: you can directly access all necessary certificates that have been stored by the subcontractor in his account. This reduces the number of manual emails sent to individual contractors and you have all important and project-relevant certificates in one place.

  • Easily keep certificates up to date: Keep track of expiration dates with a clear display of all certificates and update them directly in Cosuno if necessary.

  • Transparency for all project partners: You have direct access to the certificates, certifications and qualifications of contractors and can view the relevant documents immediately.


Manage certificate types

To add new certificate type click on the "New certificate type"-button in the top-right corner.
