Case Study: Great Valley School District achieves streamlined facility scheduling, cost savings and new revenue with Brightly Software

Great Valley Schools Cut Costs & Generate Revenue with SchoolDude Solutions

Great Valley School District (Malvern, PA), a district of eight buildings serving about 3,900 students, faced a cumbersome, paper-based facility scheduling system with poor district-wide coordination, slow notifications, and limited invoicing for community use. With a small maintenance team, the district also needed better ways to track energy use and automate maintenance to improve safety, efficiency and budgeting.

Supervisor Rich Krumrine implemented Dude Solutions’ Event Management, Energy Management and work/asset management solutions to centralize scheduling, automate custodial and HVAC responses, enable online community booking and invoicing, and track utilities. The changes streamlined district-wide scheduling, turned facilities into a revenue stream (growing revenue from $49K to over $150K annually), reduced energy use by 26%, and redirected funds into preventive maintenance and capital planning.
