Handle

Handle (Handle Inc., handle.com) is a San Francisco software company, founded in 2018 by Patrick Hogan, Blake Robertson, Lucas Azevedo and Chris Woodard, that builds financial-operations software for the construction industry. The Handle platform covers lien and notice management, automated lien-waiver exchange, full-service research and verification, automatic state-by-state compliance deadlines, job sheets, credit applications, collections and construction-native online payments, unified by what the company calls its Construction Data Graph. It is sold to material suppliers, equipment dealers and subcontractors — customers named on its own site include Ferguson, ABC Supply, US LBM, Oldcastle, EquipmentShare, The Home Depot, Cemex, Builders FirstSource, Vulcan, Heidelberg Materials, Herc Rentals and Floor & Decor. Handle markets ERP integrations ("Handle integrates with any ERP") and operates a real API host at api.handle.com, and its own status page monitors components named "Main Portal API" and "Payment Portal API", but it publishes no developer portal, no API reference, and no machine-readable specification of any kind; the only public route to the integration surface is a Contact Sales form. Handle is SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 compliant and publishes a Vanta-hosted trust center. It raised a $27M Series B led by Marbruck with Energize Capital, Suffolk Technologies, Liquid 2 Ventures, RXR, WEX and Amex Ventures participating.

Handle is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Construction, Construction Finance, Lien Management, and Lien Waivers.

Handle’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 17 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/handle: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

  detail: Handle's ERP Integrations page promises "Handle integrates with any ERP" and its own status page has monitored a
    component named "Main Portal API" since 2023-02-08, but the page's only CTAs are a Contact Sales form and an "Explore
    the docs" button that links to the trust page rather than to any documentation — there is no developer portal (developers/docs/developer.handle.com
    do not resolve) and api.handle.com answers unauthenticated callers with nothing but a JSON route hint, {"message":"specify
    a valid api route like {/api/integrations/{integration_name}/{action}"}.
