“Being able to combine project data from Unanet CRM with our workforce data from Bridgit Bench will help me better forecast our people and project needs further into the future.”

By leveraging project pursuit data from Unanet CRM inside Bridgit Bench, forecasting staffing needs for upcoming projects becomes easy. By taking upcoming as well as active pursuits into account, customers get more granular scenario planning. GCs get a single, detailed view into which people will be available and when, up to five years in advance. This enables business development teams to bid on projects that are best suited to the availability of their workers. It also empowers HR teams to proactively identify staffing gaps for future projects and have sufficient time to fill them.

The integration is through Unanet Connect, an open ecosystem of tools and applications that seamlessly integrates with Unanet’s ERP and CRM, allowing businesses to customize their experience. Unanet Connect goes beyond APIs and creates the only platform that automates business processes by integrating Unanet with a comprehensive library of best-in-class applications.

By combining insights from both tools, our customers improve their bottom line by increasing win rates on project bids.”

Many of our customers use both Unanet CRM by Cosential and Bridgit Bench.” said Mallorie Brodie, CEO and Co-Founder of Bridgit. “Providing the link between these two leading platforms to enrich workforce forecasting was a no-brainer.”
