Bridgit Bench has been a perfect fit

November 16th, 2020 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

Bridgit Bench has been a perfect fit. We were previously using a combination of MS Project and google sheets to track and project manpower. This was extremely cumbersome and time consuming. It also made it so the manpower gantt chart was only updated once a week so we never had real time data to project.

A must have tool in an ever-changing environment. The program and it’s support staff are top-notch! They are open to suggestions for improvement and always available if questions arise.

Staffing planning - simplified

November 16th, 2020 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

Staffing planning - simplified. Because the workforce management tool is more efficient, resource planning takes significantly less time. My time spent on manpower forecasting/management has reduced from 9 hours a week to less than 3. Customer support has been topnotch- quick thorough responses and an eager willingness to take user input and develop new solutions and make minor adjustments.
