Bridge.Digital | The Bridge to Your Digital Expansion

What Bridge.Digital | The Bridge to Your Digital Expansion does

Bridge.Digital, operating through Bridge Technologies LLC, is a privately held boutique technology services firm that embeds senior AI engineers and product specialists into client teams, primarily across Australia, New Zealand, and selectively in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Its service offering is structured around three tiers of embedded engagement (Lite, Core, Full) supplemented by fixed-fee AI Strategy Advisory built on a proprietary "Crawl-Walk-Run" adoption framework, monthly Fractional CTO retainers, and custom software development with platform capability in both Adobe Commerce and Shopify Plus. The documented client base spans enterprise and mid-market customers across retail (Greencross, Petbarn, Animates, Crate & Barrel, Sistema, AM Retail Group), automotive (Goodyear), luxury (Coco Republic), entertainment (Luna Park Sydney), industrial distribution (Coventry Group, ASX-listed), healthcare (Saudi Pharmaciaty), and footwear (Blundstone).

The commercial model combines recurring retainer billing for embedded engineers and Fractional CTO work with project-based fixed fees for AI strategy engagements, giving the firm a partially recurring revenue base. Delivery is executed by what appears to be a contracted network of senior practitioners orchestrated by a small core team of only 8 listed employees, with founders Ievgen Gartman (CEO) and Sandeep Dhall (CGO) leading sales and client engagement directly. Application-layer AI work is evidenced in client deployments — recommendation engines, fraud detection, dynamic pricing, and an AI-Judge pattern — but the firm does not disclose proprietary models, research hires, or foundational IP. No external funding, revenue figures, or headcount growth signals are disclosed in the available input.

Three commitment tiers: Part-Time (10-20 hours/week), Three-Quarter Time (3-4 days/week), and Full-Time (5 days/week). Engineers are dedicated to the client—not shared across clients.

Core offering

Bridge.Digital embeds senior developers and AI specialists directly inside client teams on monthly retainers (part-time, three-quarter time, or full-time) to deliver e-commerce builds, integrations, and AI implementations. Complementing the embedded engineers, the founders run fixed-fee AI Strategy Advisory engagements and monthly Fractional CTO retainers, providing senior technical leadership at the executive level.

Product overview

Bridge.Digital is a technology services firm offering embedded senior engineers and AI strategy advisory rather than a packaged software product. The core offering consists of Embedded AI Specialists (senior developers embedded in client teams) available in three commitment tiers: Embedded Lite (part-time 10-20 hrs/week), Embedded Core (3-4 days/week), and Embedded Full (full-time). These are complemented by AI Strategy Advisory (fixed-fee AI roadmap engagements using the Crawl-Walk-Run framework) and Fractional CTO (monthly retainer for senior technical leadership). Services span e-commerce development (primarily Adobe Commerce and Shopify), custom software, agentic AI and automation. The Crawl-Walk-Run AI Framework provides a phased methodology for AI implementation across three phases: Assisted Intelligence, Augmented Intelligence, and Autonomous Intelligence.

Products and services

• AI Strategy Advisory A fixed-fee engagement where founders Ievgen Gartman and Sandeep Dhall work directly with CEOs to diagnose the 'Chaos Tax', map prioritised AI use cases, and deliver a phased Crawl-Walk-Run roadmap with ROI projections and an honest assessment of what NOT to build.
• Fractional CTO A monthly retainer providing senior technical leadership at 2-3 days per month direct founder access, including attendance at leadership meetings, evaluation of build-vs-buy decisions and vendor pitches, and oversight of embedded engineers for strategic alignment.

Direct peers

• Toptal: Toptal is a freelance talent network that places vetted senior engineers, designers, and product managers into client teams on a contract/embedded basis. Closest peer to Bridge Digital's embedded senior engineer model, with similar premium positioning against offshore agencies.
• XWP: XWP is a WordPress and enterprise web platform agency specializing in complex publishing and commerce builds. Direct peer in the high-end e-commerce platform integration space, particularly around open-source CMS and headless commerce.
• Andela: Andela provides vetted technical talent (engineers, AI/ML specialists) from emerging markets, embedded into client teams. Directly comparable in model — senior dedicated talent on flexible retainers — though Andela is venture-backed and operates at much larger scale.
• Corra: Corra is a digital commerce agency specializing in Adobe Commerce (Magento) and Shopify Plus implementations. Closest direct competitor for the Adobe Commerce/Magento practice, with overlapping enterprise retail client base.
• Thoughtworks: Thoughtworks is a global technology consultancy providing custom software development, platform engineering, and emerging tech advisory. Comparable in tech consulting and emerging tech (AI/ML) focus, though at much larger scale with broader service portfolio.
• BairesDev: BairesDev provides nearshore dedicated engineering teams and staff augmentation, primarily from Latin America. Comparable embedded-engineer value proposition and mid-to-enterprise customer base, though at significantly larger headcount and broader technology breadth.

Broad incumbents

• Globant: Globant is a large digital transformation and IT services firm offering custom software, AI engineering, and consulting across industries. Broader and much larger-scale incumbent that competes in the same enterprise digital/AI engineering space.
• Accenture: Accenture is a global professional services firm with deep capabilities in technology consulting, custom software development, and AI implementation. Largest-scale broad incumbent competing across most of Bridge Digital's service lines.
• Slalom: Slalom is a technology and business consulting firm providing strategy, technology, and engineering services to mid-market and enterprise clients. Comparable in the fractional-CTO-style strategic technology advisory space and AI implementation consulting.

Regional players

• Accenture Song (formerly Fjell): Accenture Song is Accenture's digital creative and commerce practice, delivering large-scale e-commerce transformations on Adobe Commerce and Shopify Plus for global retail brands. Comparable in retail/Adobe Commerce delivery, but operates at a vastly larger scope and scale.
