Managing Permits Has Never Been Easier
See every expiration coming. Pull any document on the spot.
CredentiAlert organizes your entire compliance history into a high quality, sortable, and searchable table so you can easily see your upcoming priorities and which permits are about to expire. Every document you upload across your permits, licenses, certifications, and event packets is cataloged and stored in your personal document vault where you can view and download them at any time, including your full renewal history.
Every location. Every vehicle. Every employee. All connected.
The perfect platform for multi-location food and beverage businesses with dozens to hundreds of individual permits and licenses to manage. Multiple jurisdictions, high employee turnovers, unpredictable event regulations... CredentiAlert keeps up with every moving part of your business. Every employee and document in your fleet is assigned to their tied locations, and all personnel have their own individual compliance status. Always know your fleet’s coverage area and keep your team fully compliant no matter how spread out you are.
Any event. Any inspection. Always prepared
CredentiAlert does more than tracking compliance statuses, it also features a highly customizable event packet builder with a real-time viewer, where you can add any detail needed for an event in a professional and extremely organized packet. Build out your menu, fleet, and team, then easily attach each item and add any further details in minutes. Be ready for last minute event spots that open up and always beat the competition. Hand over a high-quality packet that skyrockets your business to the top of the vendor list on each event.
The DIY compliance trap
Do you trust a spreadsheet and a calendar reminder to keep your business from getting fined or shut down?
Two tools, one fragile handoff
A spreadsheet holds your data but sends no reminders. A calendar sends reminders but stores no documents. You are the only link between them, and you have to be right about dates, agencies, and deadlines across both, indefinitely. Peer-reviewed research across 35 years of studies found that 88 to 94 percent of business spreadsheets contain errors. In a permit spreadsheet, a wrong date is not a rounding mistake. It is a missed renewal.
The odds get worse as you grow
At five permits, the system holds. At forty, a typical multi-location operation, even 95 percent reliability per renewal leaves an 87 percent chance of missing at least one in a given year. That is not a failure of effort. That is math. CredentiAlert replaces both tools with one that works whether you check it or not. Scan a permit once. The rest is automatic.

Free Credential Guides
Not sure what your city requires?
Every jurisdiction sets its own rules. Most food and beverage businesses need more than a dozen separate permits and licenses across federal, state, county, and city agencies before they can legally open, and missing even one is usually something you find out about the hard way.
The penalties are not small. Some counties charge up to three times your permit fee in fines for operating out of compliance, and a single failed inspection can close your business the same day. Our free guides break down the exact credentials your business type needs in your city, which agency issues each one, what it costs, and how often you renew, all traced back to the official government source so you can verify every detail. This is a growing list with new cities added each week.
Your business stays your business
CredentiAlert costs less per year than a single late renewal fee costs in most cities. There are no contracts, no hidden charges, and a free tier that lasts forever. Upload your real permits, use the real features, and decide on your own time whether it earns a place in how you run your business.
Your documents. Your eyes only.
