The reality today
Tired of certificate renewals running you instead of the other way around?
There’s no shortage of certificates in your portfolio. Only a shortage of time to chase, coordinate and close every renewal before it becomes a compliance problem.
Every managed property generates renewal admin. For most agencies that work lives in spreadsheets, inboxes and someone’s memory, and pulling it together so nothing slips takes time most property managers don’t have.
Sound familiar?
What you need is a process that works even when nobody's there.
Hours spent on manual monitoring
Property managers spend hours tracking expiry dates across dozens of properties, often from spreadsheets that only update when someone remembers to.
Multiple records to keep track of
Coordinating suppliers, landlords and tenants for a single renewal means repeated chasing across calls and email threads. Most of it manual, none of it recorded automatically.
Certificates in different formats
Certificates arrive in different formats from different contractors. Uploading them, raising charges and resetting renewal dates falls to whoever is least busy that day.
Compliance risk
The risk isn't that the process fails every day. It's that it fails once. A missed gas safety certificate on a tenanted property is a serious compliance and reputational liability.
How AutoCert works
The workflow runs automatically. Your team stays in control.
Most systems stop at reminders. AutoCert runs the renewal end to end inside Alto, using the workflows, data and structure you already have. There's no new tool to learn and no change to how your team works today. Your team keeps oversight throughout and steps in only when a decision is needed.
Step 1. Certificate expiry detected automatically:
Alto’s reminder settings trigger AutoCert. No manual monitoring needed across your managed portfolio.
Step 2. Supplier identified and instructed:
The right contractor is selected and instructed automatically. A work order is raised inside Alto.
Step 3. Landlord notified, tenant access arranged:
Structured communications go out to the landlord and tenant through Alto. All correspondence is logged.
Step 4. Certificate validated and uploaded:
Documentation is checked, uploaded to the property record, and Alto is updated automatically.
Step 5. Invoice scanned, charges raised:
Invoices are processed and charges raised inside Alto without manual entry.
Step 6. Renewal date reset, job closed:
The next renewal cycle is set automatically. Every step, escalation, work order, certificate, invoice and charge stays visible inside Alto in real time.
If an exception comes up, like a supplier issue or a tenant who can’t be reached, AutoCert escalates straight to the property manager. Everything else runs without interruption.
AutoCert is autonomous but observable.
Every step is tracked inside Alto.

Four certificates. Every renewal. Fully automated.
Gas safety, EICR, EPC and PAT.
AutoCert runs the full renewal on all four, from the moment one's due to the verified certificate logged back in Alto.
Gas Safety (CP12)
Annual renewals chased, booked and closed without a spreadsheet in sight. The one certificate you can't afford to let slip, handled automatically.
EICR
Five-year electrical checks tracked across the whole portfolio, with the right contractor instructed the moment a renewal comes due.
EPC
Expiry detected, renewal instructed and the new certificate uploaded to the property record. No manual monitoring, no missed dates.
PAT
Portable appliance testing kept current on furnished lets, coordinated with tenants and logged against the property like everything else.
Why AutoCert is different
Reminders tell you work needs to happen. AutoCert does the work.
Most compliance tools stop at the notification. AutoCert runs the full operational workflow from detection to completion, with Alto as the system of record throughout.
Embedded directly into Alto Workflows
No separate platform and no new login. AutoCert syncs with your Alto data using your existing workflows, data, and structure.
Autonomous but observable
The workflow runs on its own while your team stays informed. Every step is visible inside Alto, and property managers intervene only when an exception needs them.
Alto stays the single source of truth
Every work order, certificate, charge and communication is logged in Alto. No duplication, no separate records and nothing to reconcile later.
Practical AI. No hype.
AutoCert is part of Alto Intelligence, AI built to solve real operational problems inside the CRM you already use, not a disconnected platform making broad promises.
