What you get when you're on Sub.Trade.
One profile, every buyer
Credentials, insurance, service regions, manufacturer experience — enter them once. When you connect to a buyer, they see what they need. No more filling out the same prequal three times a quarter.
You control who finds you
Invisible by default. Flip on shared-directory visibility and qualified buyers can find you and request a connection — which you approve or decline. Nothing shared with orgs you haven't explicitly connected to.
Bid invites with real scope
Every invite shows the project, package, due date, location, and requirements up front. Decide if it's worth your time before you open the bid form.
Expiring credentials, handled
We watch your COIs, state licenses, and manufacturer certs. Email reminders ~30 days before anything lapses. Never lose a job on site because an insurance renewal slipped through.
What you get when you're on Sub.Trade.
Installers ranked by fit
Type the scope, set the geography. Subs whose profiles match the focus areas, service region, and required certs float to the top. No more guessing which of your 200 saved contacts can actually do the job.
Bid invites in minutes
Build a package, pick recipients, hit send. Each sub gets an email + portal link with full scope. You see open / viewed / submitted status in one view instead of chasing email threads.
Prequal that stays current
Your subs maintain their own COIs, licenses, and manufacturer certs. We notify them ~30 days before anything lapses. You stop chasing renewal paperwork; they stop falling out of compliance.
Private by default
Your project list, scope details, and sub roster are visible only to your org. Public job promotions are opt-in per package. Subs you invite never see what you sent to others.

What buyers see
A profile that does the pre-qualifying for you.
When a GC, integrator, or manufacturer opens your profile, they see the fields they filter by — service regions, focus areas, manufacturer certifications, active insurance, verified credentials. You filled them out once. It's working for you across every buyer you're connected to.
- Your credentials and insurance stay current with expiration alerts
- Buyers only see the profile of subs they're connected to — or subs who've opted into the shared directory
- Update once, visible everywhere — no duplicate prequal paperwork

What you see
Sub profiles that pre-qualify themselves.
Open any sub and see the fields you actually filter on: service regions, focus areas, manufacturer tiers, active insurance, verified credentials, recent jobs. The sub maintains it. You stop emailing back and forth to confirm they can still pull a Genetec install in Phoenix.
- COIs and licenses flagged before they expire — no surprise non-compliant subs on day one of a job
- Match scoring ranks subs by focus-area + service-region overlap with the job you're staffing
- Shared directory lets you discover qualified subs you haven't worked with yet — they approve the connection before you can invite
How it works
Three steps to more bid invites.
Get invited
A buyer sends you a claim link by email. No invite yet? Request early access above and we'll reach out.
Claim your profile
We pre-fill what we can. Fill in the rest once — service regions, focus areas, manufacturer experience, insurance, licenses. Five to ten minutes.
Get to work
Bid invites from connected buyers land in your inbox. Submit your bid, track status, get awarded. Win notifications include the project owner's contact info so paperwork can start.
How it works
Three steps from scope to staffed.
Post the scope
Create a project, paste in the RFP or BOM (we extract structured fields automatically), build a bid package. Five to ten minutes per package.
Pick the recipients
See your saved subs ranked by fit for this job's focus areas + geography. Or open the directory to discover new ones who've opted in. Select, send, done.
Award the winner
Watch responses come in with full pricing and timelines. Compare bids side-by-side, ask clarifying questions, and award. The winning sub gets your PM's contact info to kick off paperwork.
Your bid history
See what you've won, what you've missed, and by how much.
Every bid you submit gets tracked. After a package closes, you see your submit rate, win rate, median response time, and how far off the winning bid was on jobs you didn't win. The same data buyers see — so you know where you stand.
