Commute Distance
Starting today, Bridgit Maps pairs every project with Google-verified driving distance, giving you commute times you can trust. With real-world data at your fingertips, you can assign projects more fairly, keep commutes reasonable, and head off the burnout that comes with long drives. This added clarity also sharpens your view of resource availability, letting you filter for team members who can comfortably make the trip.
You’ll also notice a new view within historical projects that reveals the full roster of teammates who worked each project, the roles they held, and how their responsibilities have evolved over time. With this richer context, you can better identify proven combinations, fill skill gaps, and assemble higher-performing teams grounded in prior working relationships. Pair this view with the existing project-history report for a 360° look at both the work and the people who delivered it—so your next lineup can be powered by data, not guesswork.
More to love: Smarter workforce forecasting
Did you know Bridgit packs some seriously smart forecasting tools? The supply-and-demand dashboard brings project, pursuit, and people data into one powerful view. Filter by role, save and share custom views, and run “what-if” scenarios to see how winning—or losing—a bid might affect headcount. The result: right-sized hiring plans, data-driven go/no-go calls, and projects that stay on track without idle overhead or burnout. Plus, you can track utilization across the entire project lifecycle, ensuring every teammate is working at their best.
