Initiation

Create the project, classify it, tag the funding source, assign the team.

    Nine modules,
    one record.

    A change order raised in the field moves the commitment, the forecast, the dashboard and the audit trail at the same moment.

      Questions

      Before the call.

      Anything else, write to sales@sdlccorp.com.

      Capital planning tool or execution tool?

      Execution. Trestle runs projects that are already approved and funded, and reads authorization and budget from your financial system.

      Can contractors submit invoices themselves?

      Yes. Each external organization gets portal logins with per-contact permissions, submits against a contract or purchase order, and tracks approval through to payment.

      How current is the financial data?

      Daily at minimum, and event driven where a workflow needs it. One way or two way depending on which system owns the value.

      Do we have to move off our document repository?

      No. Trestle browses it in context, writes generated documents back to it, keeps folder structures aligned and archives at closeout.

      What does it cost?

      Scoped to your program: user mix, integration count, migration volume and training. You get a written scope and proposal after discovery.
