Trestle

Trestle offers a software platform that general contractors use to qualify, monitor, and manage vendors across projects. It centralizes subcontractor and supplier profiles — including field performance, existing workload, and qualifications — and syncs vendor data from other systems into a single live view of capacity, utilization, contract burn-down, qualifications, and reviews.

The product spans four main areas: configurable prequalification assessments (with customizable questions, scoring, and segmentation), mobile performance reviews that collect field feedback while work is in progress, guided compliance that detects documentation gaps and directs vendors to remediate them, and invitation-to-bid workflows covering bid package creation, vendor invitations, and follow-up. Additional capabilities include automated onboarding, centralized document storage and e-signatures, continuous compliance monitoring of insurance and qualification requirements, and customer-configurable requirements, security controls, and workflows.

For trade partners, Trestle positions itself as a way to respond once to contractor requests and reuse the submission, with real-time visibility into qualification status, AI-assisted submissions to reduce typing and re-uploads, and a central dashboard for bid invitations, deadlines, submission status, and general contractor feedback.

Business model

Trestle sells a multi-sided software platform: general contractors and restoration firms use it to prequalify, monitor, and manage vendors, while trade partners use it to submit qualifications and manage bid invitations. The site directs prospective customers to a contact/sales motion rather than self-service signup.
