Summit Commercial Solutions Launches Sherpa

Kelowna, BC - Today, Summit Commercial Solutions announced the launch of Sherpa, an AI-powered insurance compliance and certificate management platform designed to transform how property managers and businesses handle insurance verification.

The Problem

Property managers, landlords, and businesses spend countless hours manually tracking insurance certificates, chasing tenants and vendors for renewals, and managing compliance across their portfolios. It's a tedious, error-prone process that creates real liability exposure when certificates expire unnoticed.

Introducing Sherpa

Sherpa automates the entire insurance compliance workflow:

Automated Certificate Collection

Sherpa automatically requests and collects insurance certificates from tenants, vendors, and contractors on your behalf. No more chasing.

AI-Powered Verification

Our AI reads and verifies certificate information, flagging any coverage gaps, expired policies, or non-compliant limits. No more manual review.

Real-Time Compliance Tracking

A single dashboard shows compliance status across your entire portfolio. Know exactly who's covered and who isn't at any moment.

Automated Renewals

Sherpa tracks expiration dates and automatically requests updated certificates before they lapse. No more surprises.

Seamless Integration

Sherpa integrates with popular property management software to sync tenant and vendor data automatically.

Why We Built This

At Summit, we work with property managers every day. We saw firsthand how much time they spend on insurance compliance—time that could be better spent managing their properties and serving their tenants.

"Insurance verification is a perfect use case for AI," said Davis Gilbert, Co-Founder of Summit. "It's repetitive, document-heavy, and requires attention to detail. Sherpa handles all of that automatically, so property managers can focus on what they do best."

Early Results

Property managers using Sherpa in beta have seen:

  • 90% reduction in time spent on certificate management
  • 95%+ compliance rates (up from 70-80% with manual processes)
  • Faster tenant and vendor onboarding
  • Fewer coverage gaps and liability exposure

Getting Started

Sherpa is available now for property managers and businesses across Canada. Pricing is based on the number of certificates managed.
