Case Study: Frederick County Public Schools achieves improved maintenance performance with Brightly Software

District Uses Key Performance Indicators to Benchmark M&O Performance to Other Districts

Frederick County Public Schools, serving 40,000 students in Frederick, Maryland, was struggling with outdated maintenance management software that produced unreliable data and limited visibility into operations. The district needed a better CMMS for corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, and capital forecasting, and turned to Brightly Software for support.

Brightly Software implemented a cloud-based Work and Asset solution that helped Frederick County Public Schools shift from corrective to preventive maintenance, manage more than 180,000 pieces of equipment, and equip technicians with tablets for faster field work. The district now completes over 50% of work orders as preventive maintenance, sees fewer equipment requests, has improved response times and status updates, and uses KPIs and capital planning data to benchmark performance and plan ahead.
