Bridgit, North America’s Leading Workforce Planning Software, Expands to the European Union and United Kingdom

Bridgit Bench Now Available to Help Construction Firms in the EU and UK Optimize Workforce Management and Drive Efficiency.

KITCHENER, Canada — Bridgit, a pioneer in workforce planning software for the construction industry, today announced the expansion of its flagship product, Bridgit Bench, to the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK). This significant milestone follows a record-breaking first million-dollar quarter last year and five consecutive quarters of revenue growth, solidifying Bridgit's commitment to equipping construction teams with innovative solutions that enhance workforce utilization, improve project transparency, and foster collaboration on a global scale.

“The European construction market is experiencing rapid growth and demand for construction innovation, partially driven by significant labor shortages,” said Mallorie Brodie, CEO of Bridgit. “Bridgit is uniquely positioned to help contractors get the most from their teams with our people-centric workforce planning and best practices baked into the platform.”

Bridgit Bench is a purpose-built, GDPR-compliant software solution that delivers real-time visibility into workforce allocation, project timelines, and resource availability.

“As a trusted partner, Bridgit has streamlined our Operations team’s ability to assign our talent to our diverse portfolio of projects and maintain staffing needs,” said Alexander Gutman, Chief Technology Officer of Gilbane Building Company. “With Bridgit launching in Europe, it will allow us to continue to support our global teams. We look forward to extending our partnership with them into Europe.”

The European construction sector is grappling with a severe labor shortage—nearly three times higher than it was a decade ago. To navigate this challenge, construction leaders must enhance workforce communication, automate project management processes, and improve overall operational efficiency. Bridgit Bench equips EU and UK firms with the tools needed to stay ahead of project demands, reduce inefficiencies, and foster long-term growth.

This expansion reflects Bridgit's ongoing dedication to addressing global workforce challenges and providing construction companies with powerful, intuitive tools that help mitigate the impact of labor shortages.
