Bridgit vs. spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are where data goes to die.

Bridgit does what no spreadsheet can. It keeps the right people on the right projects for the right amount of time so you can scale more confidently. It helps uncover the data that’s currently hiding in your company—stuck in a CSV or in the mind of a seasoned team members.
