For nearly 20 years Hardhat Software has provided a product for managing Owner Controlled Insurance Programs (OCIP's). Acquire began as a program for managing certificates of insurance for franchises. Over time it has evolved with several additional features including: The ability to handle any type of document, the ability to track internal processing and approval, tracking and control of vendors, and the ability to classify contractors by the type of service provided.
Acquire is more than just a tracking program for certificates of insurance. Acquire provides a document management standard enabling complete control of service providers.
