The Biden administration's Infrastructure Bill is nearing agreement, signaling 
an investment in infrastructure for communities across the US. However, most 
software solutions on the market serve general contractors in the commercial 
project management space. Assignar instead caters to the boots in the dirt with 
an easy to use operations platform for self-perform general and subcontractors 
on public and private infrastructure projects. Assignar streamlines operations, 
schedules and tracks crews and equipment, improves quality and safety, and 
measures and monitors productivity and progress with data on all projects. 
Assignar supports hundreds of international customers, in markets beyond the 
United States like Australia, New Zealand & Canada, that are working on 
multibillion dollar projects in infrastructure, road, rail, heavy civil, 
utilities and other construction disciplines.

"We recognize that our customers will serve the demands of the infrastructure 
investments being planned across the United States, Canada, Australia and other 
markets. We'll be there to help them identify how to scale, investing more 
deeply in our platform and insights with this fundraise. We're pleased to have 
the support and partnership with Fifth Wall with its deep understanding of 
solutions for the Built World to build on our vision," said Sean McCreanor, CEO 
and Co-Founder of Assignar.

"For years, the construction industry has lacked a well-designed and ubiquitous 
operations platform. Assignar offers a unique solution that makes projects 
easier for large general contractors, developers, and real estate 
owner-operators who seek the best real-time snapshot of granular field 
activity. We're pleased to support Sean and his team and to help Assignar scale 
its business into 2021 and beyond," said Vik Chawla, Partner with Fifth Wall.

With this new capital, Assignar will grow its business in North America and 
double its team by hiring for roles across all departments. The company also 
plans to invest in R&D and product development to further develop its core 
platform. It will introduce an expansion through powerful project optimization 
capabilities, creating project visibility from the owner down to the 
sub-contractors, coupled with a recommendation engine that leverages data, AI 
and machine learning to support planning and execution processes. 

"We can quantify the savings that we've realized since implementing Assignar's 
technology. For example, we've saved over $30,000 a year in timesheet reporting 
alone. Assignar also provides data analysis by automatically pulling the 
information from our reports together to give a snapshot of our 15-20 active 
projects. This ability to better monitor data and get more readily available 
data has also improved communication with the office and our clients," said 
Terri Olson, CFO & Co-owner at OE Construction(
