Bluebeam Launches Task Link, Mobile Upgrades to Bring Connected Field Intelligence to Construction Teams

Bluebeam launches Task Link, mobile upgrades to bring connected field intelligence to construction teams. PASADENA, CA, USA, Dec 12, 2025 - Bluebeam, a leading developer of solutions and services for architecture, engineering and construction professionals worldwide and part of the Nemetschek Group, announced major updates designed to unify office and field teams. The launch of Task Link, a first-of-its-kind native integration between Bluebeam Revu and GoCanvas, along with significant enhancements to Bluebeam's iOS and Android apps, delivers streamlined task management, real-time visibility, and organized documentation across every phase of a project. Task Link: Closing the gap between planning and execution The launch of Task Link represents the first major milestone in bringing Bluebeam and GoCanvas together into a unified field - office workflow. When the companies joined forces last year, the shared vision was to combine Bluebeam's industry-leading markup and collaboration capabilities with GoCanvas' real-time field data collection, giving construction teams a seamless, end-to-end workflow with fewer communication gaps, fewer errors, and far more visibility. * Push tasks from Revu to the field instantly, with updates reflected in real time. * Keep teams aligned through automatic notifications as work advances. * Capture verifiable on-site data via GoCanvas mobile forms - including photos, videos, signatures, and structured inputs. * Maintain a single source of truth with all submissions linked directly back to Revu markups. "Task Link represents the next step in our commitment to interoperability and connected workflows between the office and the field," said Luke Prescott, Head of Product at Bluebeam. "By tying Revu's markup ecosystem to GoCanvas' digital field data collection, we're eliminating friction, strengthening accountability, and giving teams a faster, more collaborative way of working." Task Link is available to all Bluebeam subscribers with an active GoCanvas subscription. Mobile updates: Real-time tools for smarter decisions Bluebeam's latest and upcoming mobile enhancements deliver even more field-ready functionality tightly integrated with Studio. These updates enhance Bluebeam's core markups and Studio collaboration environment, enabling teams to verify, annotate, and share information instantly - online or offline - to boost productivity and reduce rework. * Measurement tools (length, area, polylength, count) for on-the-spot verification. * Basic PDF form filling directly in-app to complete checklists and project documents from the field. * Offline access to Studio Projects for updating project documents on remote jobsites. * Image markups on drawings for immediate visual clarity. * Precision pen-eraser for cleaner edits without restarting. * Local PDF support, enabling easy document access and editing anytime, anywhere. Together, these updates mark a significant step toward fully connected, AI-ready construction workflows, where data flows seamlessly between tools, teams, and project phases to drive smarter decisions and better outcomes.
