The Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) announced today that its CIT GAP Funds closed an investment in ADR Software, a technology-based company headquartered in Reston, VA that provides an innovative solution for construction general contractors and project owners to collect, document, and evaluate labor information in real-time.

CIT President and CEO Pete Jobse said, 'ADR's Workforce Monitor service fills a previously unmet need of efficiently and affordably tracking labor traffic on construction sites. Our CIT GAP Funds investment demonstrates our confidence in ADR's innovative solution.'

ADR's Workforce Monitor™ service captures and reports information about workforce traffic by monitoring the exits and entrances of construction sites with rapid deployment self-sufficient and cloud connected portals. ADR leverages wide area cellular networking and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to service the $440 billion construction labor industry. The service has been proven to lower labor costs, increase safety and security, support compliance documentation and provide a competitive advantage in the bidding process.

ADR President Marty Pollak said, 'The investment from CIT GAP Funds will help us expand our work force and continue our business and product development. We are excited to continue the execution of our growth strategy and bring new, innovative technology solutions to the construction industry.'

CIT GAP Funds is a family of seed- and early-stage investment funds placing near-equity and equity investments in Virginia-based high-growth technology, life science and clean technology companies.

Vice President and Managing Director of the CIT GAP Funds Tom Weithman said, 'Companies like ADR provide important services that encourage growth in Virginia's innovation economy. CIT GAP Funds is proud to add ADR to our portfolio, and we are looking forward to working with management to build a great company.'

Since its 2005 launch, CIT GAP Funds has invested in over 90 companies across the Commonwealth of Virginia, deploying more than $10 million of public funds and attracting over $135 million more in private funding.
