Our take
The construction industry in North America is experiencing what some analysts are calling endemic widespread labor shortages. That means general contractors are under more pressure than ever to place the right people on the right projects at the right time.
Bridgit and its main product, Bench, are alleviating this pressure for construction managers. By replacing spreadsheets with a built-for-purpose software, Bridgit helps managers strategically manage their workforce with much greater efficiency and precision.
Off the back of 2023 funding, the company is expanding its product team, focusing on development that will enable its software to become a unifying layer for an organisation’s data. This will provide “unprecedented visibility” for its customers' people and projects.
The company has so far won sizable clients that have both decent profits and pressing staffing problems. But for the startup to reach a truly massive scale, it will need to develop its product into a piece of mission-critical tech for construction companies of all sizes.
