Property Management & Accounting integration

Buildium COI compliance integration

Keep Buildium vendor insurance verified and flag bills from vendors whose coverage fails. Pikorua Security connects through the Buildium Open API, writes the verified provider, policy number and expiration date to each vendor, and adds a hold memo to unpaid bills from non-compliant vendors so nothing goes out in the next payment run by mistake.

Trigger events

When the certificate changes, Buildium changes with it.

Each trigger is a rule you can switch on, off or to notify-only per project, property or vendor tier.
How payment and access gates work
  1. Hold

    Required coverage expires

    Then: The vendor's insurance expiration is updated so Buildium's own expired-insurance warning shows, and hold memos are added to unpaid bills.

  2. Hold

    Association not named as additional insured

    Then: Hold memo with the missing name, and the vendor's broker receives the exact wording the association requires.

  3. Warn

    Coverage expiring within 30 days

    Then: Buildium's expiration notice and Pikorua Security's broker request go out together. No hold.

  4. Release

    Renewal verified

    Then: New policy number and expiration written, and hold memos removed.

One policy field, verified

Buildium, a RealPage company, is property management software for residential portfolios and community associations. Its vendor record holds a single insurance policy: provider, policy number and expiration date, and it can warn when a vendor's insurance is missing or expired, with notice starting 90 days out. Because there is one slot, Pikorua Security writes the required coverage that expires first, so the warning fires on the date that actually matters.

Buildium's Open API, available on the Premium plan, is self-serve: an administrator creates an API key and the connector authenticates with the client ID and secret. No paperwork and no file drops.

Associations and owners as additional insureds

Association boards and rental owners care about one thing on a vendor certificate: that they are named. Pikorua Security checks the endorsement for the exact legal name, such as "Willow Creek Homeowners Association, Inc.", and for the management company, and flags variations that would not hold up when a claim is tendered.

Every coverage line, with its endorsements and dates, stays in Pikorua Security, linked from the vendor in Buildium.

FAQ

Buildium connector questions.

Pikorua Security is compliance software. It verifies certificates and endorsements against your contract requirements; it does not sell insurance or give legal advice.

Which Buildium plan is required?
The Open API requires Buildium's Premium plan. On Essential or Growth, use Pikorua Security with CSV exports.
Does Pikorua Security pay or void bills?
No. It adds and removes a hold memo. Paying bills stays with you.
Why does Buildium show only one policy?
That is how Buildium's vendor insurance field works. Pikorua Security keeps general liability, workers compensation, auto and umbrella separately and writes the one that expires first.
