Problem
General contractors often rely on fragmented spreadsheets, emails, and disparate systems to track subcontractor qualifications, insurance documents, and performance data, leading to manual errors, missed compliance deadlines, and increased project risk.
Solution
Trestle provides an AI‑driven, cloud‑based platform that centralizes vendor profiles, automates document verification, and continuously monitors compliance. Users can create custom prequalification questionnaires, assign scores, and generate bid packages that are automatically distributed to vetted vendors. Real‑time performance feedback from field teams is captured and incorporated into vendor scores, giving contractors a dynamic view of risk. The platform’s workflow engine handles invitation, response tracking, and approval routing without additional headcount, while integrations pull data from existing ERP, accounting, and field management tools. By consolidating all vendor information and automating routine tasks, Trestle enables contractors to select reliable partners faster and reduce exposure to liability.
