myNIME vs.
Spreadsheets & Email
A spreadsheet holds what somebody typed into it. myNIME reads the policy, the quote and the certificate, then follows up when a date comes due. Here is the comparison, capability by capability.

The record a building needs, in one place
Reads the document
Upload a policy, quote or certificate and myNIME pulls out the dates, limits and endorsements, so nobody retypes them.
Follow-up that runs itself
Expiring certificates and policies send requests and reminders to the vendor, owner, board or broker.
Board-ready, with a record
Coverage summaries, claims and every decision in one place, with an audit trail behind each one.
myNIME and spreadsheets and email, capability by capability
Eight capabilities that decide whether a building's insurance record holds together, rated for myNIME and for spreadsheets and email.
| Capability | myNIME | Spreadsheets | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Building master policy management | Manual. PDFs in folders, with key terms copied into a sheet. | Find any building's coverage in seconds, rather than opening five PDFs. | |
| Unit-owner (HO-6) insurance tracking | Manual. Owners email their policies and someone logs each one. | See which units are covered, with the request trail for the rest. | |
| Vendor and contractor certificates (COIs) | Manual. Expiration dates in a sheet, and emails to vendors sent one by one. | Coverage gaps surface at the point a certificate is filed. | |
| AI that reads policy documents | Manual. Someone reads and retypes each document. | Dates, limits and endorsements are read from the document, so the numbers match the source. | |
| Quote comparison and renewals | Manual. Quotes compared across email threads and attachments. | Renewal decisions start earlier, with a clean comparison ready for the board. | |
| Claims tracking | Manual. Updates spread across inboxes and phone calls. | Anyone involved can see where a claim stands, on the same record. | |
| Board-ready reports and audit trail | Manual. Rebuilt before each meeting, with no record of who changed what. | Board packets come together quickly, with a clear record if a decision is questioned. | |
| Built for condo and co-op buildings | Manual. Whatever structure you build and maintain yourself. | Owner, shareholder and building coverage are tracked the way associations work. |
When a spreadsheet is enough
A spreadsheet can be enough for a single self-managed building with one master policy, a handful of vendors and one person who knows where everything is. Once you manage several buildings, dozens of vendors and hundreds of unit owners, the follow-up work is what slips, and that is the part myNIME automates.
