Meet PledgX

PledgX is the leader in contractor risk assessment services.
We focus on providing real-time pre-qualification screening and ongoing risk monitoring of contractors by project owners and bonding companies.
‍
With a secure cloud-native platform, we facilitate contractors to build their corporate profiles, generate qualification statements and get project owner reference checks in just minutes.
‍
Project owners can pre-qualify contractors using a variety of selection criteria and a scoring methodology that is based on past behaviour.

Our Mission

PledgX is on a mission to change the way general contractors, sub-contractors, and trades win more business. We are set to transform the process of pre-qualification, so that contractors can qualify for the projects they want without spending a lot of time and money on the process itself.
