The Problem

Your tools were built for GCs,
not for you.

ServiceTitan was built for service companies. Procore was built for general contractors. Specialty subs have been forced to piece together spreadsheets, whiteboards, and $50 apps that don't talk to each other. TradeRail was built from the ground up for the subcontractor's seat.

Estimators drowning in PDFs
RFPs arrive via email, Procore invites, and plan sets. There's no system. Bids get missed. Win rates go untracked.
"Did anyone tell Mike?"
Scheduling lives in someone's head or a shared Google Calendar. Last-minute changes never reach the field in time.
90-day receivables
Pay apps take a week to build, GCs reject them for formatting errors, and your cash flow pays for it. Every month.
Tribal knowledge problem
When your best foreman leaves, so does everything he knew about job specs, supplier contacts, and daily processes.
Field guys on the wrong version
The GC updated the plans on Procore. Your crew has a printout from two weeks ago. The fix costs more than the markup.
Zero visibility into job health
You find out a job went over budget after the pay app is already submitted. By then, it's too late to do anything about it.
End-to-End Workflow

From first RFP
to final paycheck.

Every step of your business lives in one platform — no more jumping between spreadsheets, texts, and disconnected apps.

Lily AI

Your AI operations
assistant. Built in.

Lily isn't a chatbot widget bolted onto the side of your workflow. She's a participant in it — reading incoming RFPs, drafting bids, composing pay apps, answering "what's the status on the Coyote Creek job," and surfacing alerts before they become problems.

Most AI tools were trained on generic business data. Lily is trained on construction workflows, subcontractor language, and your company's specific data — projects, customers, price history, and crew.

New RFP from Turner Construction — 42-unit multifamily, rough-in plumbing, bid due June 12th. I found the plan set on Procore. Want me to draft a bid?
Yes — use the Coyote Creek pricing as the base. Flag anything that looks different.
On it. A few differences flagged: this project uses CPVC on floors 3+, Coyote used copper throughout. That adds ~$8,200. Also noting the GC wants Bluebeam submittals, not PDF. Want me to adjust the bid and format the submittal package?
Yes. And send me a reminder 48 hours before the deadline.
Done. Bid drafted at $74,800. Reminder set for June 10th at 8am. I'll also watch for any addenda on the plan set and alert you automatically.
Investor Thesis

The sub-side of construction tech is the biggest unmonetized surface in the industry.

Procore has 17,000 GC customers and 2 million subcontractor collaborators — all working for free. No construction platform has successfully monetized the sub side. TradeRail is built specifically for that layer.

We're not building a GC tool with a sub-facing login. We're building the platform that runs the sub's entire business — from bid intake to paycheck — and connecting it back to the GC's workflow. This is the Levelset playbook: own the sub layer, become indispensable to the GC, and capture both sides of the transaction.

From the Field

What contractors are saying.

★★★★★

We used to miss bids because they fell through the cracks in our email. TradeRail caught three in the first month and we won two of them. That paid for the platform for the year.

Alonso Moreno
Owner, Villa Plumbing · Gilroy, CA
★★★★★

Lily drafted our pay app while I was driving to the job site. I reviewed it on my phone, fixed one number, and submitted it before I even got out of the truck. First time we got paid on time in eight months.

James Rivera
Owner, Rivera Mechanical · Fresno, CA
★★★★★

I've tried Knowify, Buildertrend, and a dozen others. None of them were built for a sub — they were all built for a GC who needed a cheaper tool. TradeRail actually understands how we work.
