AI-powered vendor prequalification and risk management platform for heavy construction
Trestle centralizes subcontractor and supplier prequalification, compliance monitoring, and performance reviews for general contractors, replacing manual document collection and phone-based vendor coordination with an automated, invitation-only vendor network.
Why This Tool Exists
General contractors in heavy/infrastructure construction manually collect and verify subcontractor and supplier documentation - insurance certificates, safety records, financial statements, licenses - across spreadsheets, email, and phone calls for every project, with no centralized view of a vendor's capacity, compliance status, or past performance. The company cites industry-wide losses of over $332 billion annually from inefficient contract and vendor management, translating to roughly 30,000 lost manhours and $3.5 million per contractor per year.
Trestle automates subcontractor and supplier prequalification with AI-assisted document verification and configurable grading criteria, tracks compliance (including insurance certificate expirations) on an ongoing basis, and runs an "Invitation to Bid" workflow that builds bid packages, invites vendors, and chases responses. Its Benchmark module adds vendor performance reviews and historical data to help contractors evaluate trade partners before selecting them for future work.
