Compare myNIME with the tools buildings use today

Eight tools sit next to a condo or co-op insurance record, from a spreadsheet in a shared drive to a certificate network. Here is how each one lines up against the whole-building record myNIME keeps.

  • Reads the policies, not just stores them. Dates, limits, endorsements and exclusions come out of the document.
  • Every layer on one record. Building, unit owners, vendors and claims.
  • Works alongside your accounting. Your property management and accounting software stay as they are.

Six things that decide the answer

Every page measures the same eight capabilities. These are the six that most often separate a record from a folder of files.

  • Reads the policy itself

    AI pulls the dates, limits, endorsements and exclusions out of every policy, quote and certificate you upload.

  • Every insurance layer in one place

    The master policy, unit owners, vendors, quotes and claims, for every building you manage.

  • Built for condos and co-ops

    Organized around associations, owners and shareholders, the way your buildings actually work.

  • Follow-up that runs itself

    Certificate requests, renewal reminders and claim updates go out on their own schedule.

  • Board-ready, with a record

    Coverage summaries for the board, and an audit trail of every action and decision.

  • Works alongside your accounting

    Keep the accounting and management software you use today. Your data stays where it is.

Five questions to ask any vendor

Useful in any evaluation, including this one.

Does it read the policy, or store the PDF?

Storage still leaves someone retyping limits and dates, and checking them by eye. A tool that reads the document answers in seconds.

Does it cover every layer?

The master policy, unit owners, vendors and claims, or only one of them.

Who follows up when something expires?

A reminder your team still has to act on is different from a request that goes out on its own.

Could you hand the board a coverage summary today?

Without rebuilding a spreadsheet the night before the meeting.

Is it built for condos and co-ops?

Tools designed around rental portfolios organize everything by lease and tenant. Associations need owners, shareholders and the master policy.

Comparisons and setup

What comes up most often when a team weighs the tools side by side.

Is myNIME property management software?
myNIME is insurance management software. It runs alongside the property management and accounting software you already use, and does not replace it.
Is myNIME a renters insurance program?
myNIME is software for managing insurance records. Owners and residents keep whatever policy they choose; myNIME reads the evidence and keeps it on the record.
Is myNIME only for vendor certificates?
Vendor certificates are one part. myNIME also covers the building's master policy, unit-owner insurance, quotes and renewals, claims and board reporting.
Do we have to migrate anything?
Upload the policies and certificates you already have and myNIME reads them. Your accounting and management software stay as they are.
Can myNIME collect policies from unit owners?
Yes. Each owner receives an email with a secure link for their unit, with no account or login. They photograph the declaration page or upload the file, and myNIME reads the details.
What happens when a policy or certificate is about to expire?
myNIME sends requests and reminders automatically to the vendor, owner, board or broker, so renewals move forward on their own schedule.
Can the board see where things stand?
Yes. Boards receive coverage summaries and reports, and every action is recorded, so it is clear what was requested and when.
How current are these comparisons?
Ratings come from each company's public website, and we review them as the products change. “Not listed” means we did not find that capability on their public site.
