After four years of direct competition in Australia’s construction safety software market, the younger 1Breadcrumb has acquired its more established rival, SignOnSite, in a strategic move aimed at creating a global leader in construction technology.
Founded in 2020, 1Breadcrumb has rapidly grown into a significant player in the construction safety software sector. SignOnSite, established in 2013, has built a decade-long presence in the market. This acquisition brings two trusted names in construction tech together, setting SignOnSite up for even more growth both here and overseas in the UK, Ireland, and North America.
1Breadcrumb’s CEO Simon Elliott says of the announcement:
“This is a really exciting step for our company. Not only does it strengthen our role as the dominant platform for commercial construction companies dealing with complex regulations, but it will also drive continued expansion for our product globally.”
Of the acquisition, SignOnSite CEO Alexandria Garlan says:
“Simon and I have been working alongside each other everyday for months. It became very clear to me early on just how aligned our businesses were. Simon’s integrity and commercial acumen is inspiring and I know the merged entity will achieve great things.”
By bringing SignOnSite’s capabilities into the 1Breadcrumb platform, commercial construction companies will benefit from:
- A Fully Integrated Compliance & Workforce Management Solution – Covering inductions, site attendance, safety compliance, and contractor management.
- Greater Standardisation & Efficiency – With a larger commercial construction customer base, 1Breadcrumb can drive industry-wide adoption of best practices.
- Accelerated Innovation & Global Adoption – A larger team and expanded resources will allow faster product development and international expansion.

BuiltAPI GmbH, the company pioneering API-driven data infrastructure for real estate investment and asset management, has successfully closed its latest funding round backed by industry leaders including Second Century Ventures, TDS, and Propertymark. The investment marks a major milestone as BuiltAPI expands its services across Europe and the UK, following its graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator Program.
BuiltAPI tackles one of the real estate sector’s most persistent problems: fragmented, siloed data ecosystems. The company provides a robust API framework that enables seamless connectivity between legacy systems, modern SaaS tools, and intelligent automation platforms — with interoperability, governance, and cybersecurity at its core.
“We’re building the backbone of real estate data infrastructure,” said Olga Dentzel, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “This funding and the support of the REACH UK program are accelerating our ability to deliver secure, scalable integrations to clients across borders.”
BuiltAPI’s technology is already making an impact with major real estate institutions such as HIH Real Estate and its fund service platform INTREAL, through their digital unit INTREAL Solutions. These collaborations highlight a shared vision for practical and scalable digital transformation in real estate asset and investment management.
“The industry doesn’t need yet another tool — it needs a connective tissue,” added Ivan Nokhrin, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “Our mission is to empower real estate professionals to access, share, and act on their data securely and without barriers.”
Graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator — the scale-up program backed by Second Century Ventures – marks BuiltAPI’s official entry into the UK market. The program has played a key role in unlocking investors support and refining BuildAPI’s growth trajectory.
