AI ops desk
for small general contractors.
TradeWake is the AI ops desk for small general contractors — 24/7 compliance watch, bid tracking, job margin, and scheduling on autopilot. Pilot this quarter with a trades-aware onboarding that takes a single afternoon, not a quarter.
- FMCSA + state DOT, watched
- End-of-day margin, posted
- One field-app intake
Four desks. One shift.
The four things a small GC owner is always behind on.
Compliance, bid intake, job margin, and scheduling each eat a half-day of office time every week. TradeWake rolls them onto a single 24/7 desk so you can run jobs instead of catching up on them.
Compliance
CDL, IFTA, UCR, HOS — renewed automatically.
Public FMCSA + state DOT feeds, IFTA jurisdictions, and UCR registries watched 24/7; CDL roster expirations reconciled against your drug-and-alcohol consortium. Renewals queue on a single dashboard owner-side; nothing falls between office staff.
Bid tracking
New postings, scanned before your foreman clocks in.
Every new public-portal posting is filtered against your trades, bonding envelope, equipment mix, and service radius, then dropped into a draft-bid queue by morning. Matched leads surface the moment they post — before a competitor has logged in.
Job margin
Daily job-cost roll-up, in your inbox by EOD.
Time entries, material pulls, and load tickets come in from the field via mobile; the agent rolls them against the bid budget and posts per-job margin before the trucks park. Catches overruns while they are still small.
Scheduling
Crews, subs, and rental gear on one calendar.
Subcontractors, in-house crews, dump trucks, and rental equipment scheduled against a single live calendar. Conflicts surface before they cost a half-day on the clock; downtime opens up before the next bid goes out.
The questions owners ask first

Drop your work email and TradeWake comes back with a concrete pilot plan for your trades, service radius, and fleet size — not a sales deck. We onboard a new small GC or intrastate fleet every other week this quarter.
- Same-afternoon onboarding — no quarter-long rollout.
- Pilot pricing is per-trade, per-radius — not per-seat.
- Second quarter is free to walk if we are not moving the three numbers.
