Buildbite signs strategic partnership with Signicat

Buildbite, the leading field management application, today announced a strategic partnership with Signicat, the leading provider of digital identity solutions in Europe.

Strengthening of Buildbite’s offering

Buildbite is on a mission to transform the construction industry through its unique field management application. By joining forces with Signicat the company further strengthens its offering to the construction industry.

Construction companies who have been using Buildbite to improve project communication and collaboration now have the option of adding secure authentication requests to customer approval workflows.

A digitally underserved industry

Reflecting on the construction industry, Antti Harsunen, Signicat’s Country Manager says, “It's actually quite mind-boggling to think that the biggest investment many of us make in our lives is often the result of thousands of small but important decisions and involves several dozen contractors.” 

He continues, “together with Buildbite, Signicat ensures that the full life-cycle of the building is secured and that critical decisions are backed up with our award-winning secure authentication."

Micke Paqvalén, Founder of Buildbite says, “The strategic partnership with Signicat is a win-win situation for both companies. Through Buildbite, Signicat will enable innovative embedded authentication services for the construction and service industry that are crucial to securing cash flow in the current market turmoil.”

Why construction companies are turning to Buildbite

In a short space of time, Buildbite has gained a solid reputation within the industry by helping businesses such as Trähus transform their business. 

Using Buildbite to improve project communication and collaboration, Trähus saw their invoice rate increase from 40% to 97% of the hours spent on projects and their Project Managers now save 2.5 work hours every day.

Thomas Noreila, CEO of Trähus, said, "I'm still positively shocked about the results. This is a very traditional business and many skilled craftsmen aren't familiar with using smartphone applications to document their work. Using Buildbite turned out to be easy and quick.”
