HR software vs a dedicated license tracker

• Store employee records, pay and time off in one place
• Let you add a certification and its expiration date to an employee’s profile
• Often show a list or report of what’s expiring

If you have a handful of certifications and someone checks that report every week, your HR app may be all you need.

• Someone still has to chase people. A report tells you what’s expiring. It doesn’t get the new certificate from the employee.
• Company items live somewhere else. Insurance, business licenses and permits aren’t employees, so they often end up in a separate spreadsheet.
• Nobody notices when it slips. If the one person watching is out, overdue items can sit for weeks.
• Showing proof takes time. Pulling every current certificate together for an inspector or auditor is a manual job.

DueLantern doesn’t replace payroll or HR. It does one thing: keeps every license, certification and permit current.

• Reminders go to the employee with a private upload link. No account needed.
• AI reads the new expiration date; you approve it with one click.
• Overdue items escalate to your whole team automatically.
• Employee and company items live in one list.
• One click gives you a compliance report or a private share link for an inspector.

Getting started is quick: export your employee list from your HR app and import it as a spreadsheet.
