Seven Problems
ExpiryEdge Solves

Missed deadlines are not always catastrophic. Until they are. These are the scenarios where businesses get caught out - and how ExpiryEdge prevents each one.

Contractor Compliance

An uninsured contractor on your site leaves you liable for any accident. Most businesses have no system to verify contractor documents are current.

Tracks
Public liability insurance
Trade certifications
DBS checks
Work permits

Verify every contractor

Staff Certifications

Regulators don't accept 'we didn't know it had lapsed'. A single expired first aid certificate puts your business in non-compliance.

Tracks
First aid certificates
Food hygiene certs
Forklift licences
Professional registrations

Track team qualifications

Business Licences & Permits

Councils and licensing authorities do not send reminders. A lapsed licence means immediate enforcement action - fines or closure.

Tracks
Premises licence
Food business registration
Environmental permits
Fire safety certificate

Protect your trading licences

Contracts & Renewals

Most supplier contracts auto-renew with a 30–90 day exit window. Miss the window and you are locked in for another term on their terms.

Tracks
Supplier agreements
Software subscriptions
Office leases
Insurance policies

Control contract renewals

Facilities & Property Inspections

A lapsed gas safety certificate invalidates your insurance. A missed lift inspection triggers a prohibition notice. There is no grace period.

Recurring Checks & Workflows

Monthly fire checks, weekly vehicle inspections, quarterly equipment sign-offs - these need doing on schedule. And when an insurer asks whether they were done, 'I think so' is not enough.

Onboarding & Offboarding

Right-to-work must be verified before Day 1. System access must be revoked the day someone leaves. Most businesses track neither - until a regulator or insurer asks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using ExpiryEdge for your specific use case.

ExpiryEdge works for any business that manages time-bound compliance obligations, from a sole trader tracking a handful of licences to a multi-site enterprise managing thousands of certifications. Browse the use case pages to find scenarios similar to yours. If your obligation type involves an expiry date and a consequence for missing it, ExpiryEdge is designed for it.

Yes. A single ExpiryEdge account can track unlimited item types. You might track employee certifications, equipment inspections, contracts, insurance policies, and software licences all in the same system - with different item templates, reminder schedules, and owners for each type. The dashboard gives you a consolidated view across all types.

ExpiryEdge tracks compliance for any entity: employees, contractors, suppliers, assets, or properties. For external parties, you create records for their certifications, insurance, or contractual obligations and assign an internal owner to manage follow-up. Reminders can go to the internal owner, the external party, or both - depending on how you configure each item type.

Plan limits vary by subscription tier. The free plan is designed for small programmes. Paid plans accommodate growing compliance portfolios, from dozens to thousands of active records. Enterprise customers with very large portfolios can discuss custom arrangements directly with the ExpiryEdge team.

Yes. While ExpiryEdge is primarily used by businesses, it works equally well for personal compliance: vehicle MOT and service dates, passport renewals, driving licence renewals, home insurance, and subscription management. The personal use plan is available at a price point suited to individual use.
