ControlBoard vs Bridgit Bench
Bridgit Bench is workforce planning: it helps general and specialty contractors decide which people
go on which projects, months ahead, with skills, certifications and forecasting by role. ControlBoard®
schedules the day as well as the year, with labor, crews, equipment, rentals and subcontractors on one
board sent to the field. The hours, daily log and payroll file come back from the same schedule. If you staff project teams, Bridgit is built for that. If you dispatch crews and iron and
pay them from the schedule, ControlBoard is.

For some companies. Bridgit Bench plans which people go on which projects, with skills matching and scenario planning, and suits contractors staffing project teams. ControlBoard schedules labor and equipment day by day, sends the schedule to the field and collects the hours. A construction company that dispatches crews and machines will usually find ControlBoard the closer fit.
Does Bridgit Bench schedule equipment?
