Stop finding expired staff licenses after the audit request arrives.
CertPulse turns messy credential spreadsheets, renewal emails, and scattered proof files into a weekly risk board for healthcare HR teams that cannot afford a full HRIS rebuild.
Validation page only. Early users get a manual credential-risk preflight from a sanitized spreadsheet.
Credential risk board
214 staff · 18 gaps · 9 urgent
RN license renewal
Four expirations inside 30 days. Two have no proof file attached and one manager has not replied.
BLS certificate batch
Spreadsheet dates disagree with uploaded certificates for 6 staff across two clinic locations.
State survey packet
Packet is missing copies for three per-diem clinicians and one expired permit row needs owner review.
Weekly answer
“Nine items can create compliance risk this week. Send this reminder batch, attach these proofs, and verify these two state-specific requirements.”
Narrow customer
HR generalists, compliance coordinators, and operations leaders at 50-500 person clinics, behavioral-health groups, home-health agencies, and small healthcare nonprofits.
Paid problem
Expired or missing staff credentials create audit risk, scheduling disruption, frantic manager chasing, and hours of spreadsheet cleanup before surveys or client reviews.
Landing test
Join the waitlist to test whether teams will share a sanitized credential sheet and pay for a weekly risk preflight before integrations are built.
Day-in-the-life pain
The spreadsheet is technically updated. The compliance answer is still unclear.
A healthcare HR generalist keeps a roster of nurses, therapists, aides, and clinicians. Certificates arrive as PDFs, screenshots, forwarded emails, or not at all. Every week means checking dates, sending reminders, nudging managers, and hoping the latest spreadsheet row matches the proof file before an audit, survey, or staffing decision exposes a gap.
Input
Upload a roster export or spreadsheet with employee role, location, license type, expiration date, document links, and manager/contact fields.
Checks
CertPulse flags missing proof, near-term expirations, duplicate rows, state/role gaps, reminder status, and items that need human verification.
Output
A weekly compliance board, manager-ready reminder batch, renewal packet folder, and audit trail showing what was sent, fixed, or still at risk.
Current tools break because they store records but do not run the weekly chase.
CertPulse starts as a manual preflight: identify the real risk rows, prepare reminder copy, collect proof, and show what is safe, missing, or needs verification.
Features tied to evidence
Built around the spreadsheet-to-reminder grind.
Roster-to-risk import
Start from the spreadsheet HR already uses. CertPulse normalizes staff, license types, renewal dates, certificate files, departments, and manager owners without forcing a full HRIS migration.
Renewal chase queue
Turn every expiring license into a dated task with email copy, escalation state, and proof-needed context so reminders do not live in one HR generalist's inbox.
Proof packet builder
Attach PDFs, screenshots, and issuer pages to each credential. Export an audit-ready packet when a state survey, client audit, or internal review asks for evidence.
Exception digest
Instead of scrolling a giant spreadsheet, see the 12 people or documents that can actually create compliance risk this week.
Concierge preflight
The first waitlist offer is a manual spreadsheet review and mock risk dashboard before building any deep payroll, HRIS, or issuer integrations.
Community evidence
The repeated signal is not “buy a bigger HRIS.” It is “stop trusting fragile HR spreadsheets for risk work.”
The selected wedge is narrower than generic HR automation: small healthcare organizations with credential obligations, partial systems, and too much manual renewal chasing. Adjacent RIF and onboarding threads reinforce the same spreadsheet-risk pattern, but credential expiration has clearer recurring compliance pain.
r/humanresources · healthcare compliance spreadsheet
An HR/compliance worker describes manually tracking staff licenses, certifications, and permits in a spreadsheet, then sending renewal reminders by hand.
r/humanresources · small healthcare nonprofit stack
A small healthcare nonprofit reports that HR is still spreadsheets and paper files around payroll/HRIS decisions, with Employee Navigator covering only part of the workflow.
r/humanresources · RIF in Excel
A mid-sized HR team says a 150-person reduction-in-force is being planned across separate Excel/Google sheets for selection criteria, severance, WARN, communications, and legal sign-off.
r/humanresources · onboarding manual steps
A hybrid 300-person company describes onboarding without a full HRIS: GSheets, DocuSign, Jira tickets, and 10+ manual steps per new hire.
Why not spreadsheets, HRIS, or reminders?
Because the paid job is risk reduction, not another place to type dates.
Spreadsheets are flexible until one row goes stale. Calendar reminders do not know whether proof was collected. Full HR suites can be too expensive or slow for small healthcare teams. CertPulse aims for the missing middle: a lightweight compliance preflight around the roster they already have.
Early waitlist offer
Send a sanitized credential sheet. Get a risk map.
Early users receive a worksheet and sample dashboard from their anonymized roster. Demand is validated if HR teams join with real expiration pressure, ask for specific role/license rules, and agree to review a weekly exception digest.
