Case Study: SKANA Aluminum Company achieves ROI-driven maintenance and data-driven purchasing with Brightly Software's Asset Essentials

How Asset Essentials is Making Life Easier for SKANA Aluminum

SKANA Aluminum, an aluminum rolling mill based in Manitowoc, Wisconsin with 200 employees and two locations, faced challenges managing parts inventory and maintaining aging equipment. Frequent repairs, long lead times and unclear reorder points made it hard to justify purchases or decide when to replace versus repair assets, contributing to downtime and lost revenue.

Implementing Brightly’s Asset Essentials gave SKANA a simple, centralized way to track parts, link items to work orders and analyze usage and costs. The data lets the team set smarter reorder points, quantify repair vs. replacement costs, and present clear ROI to leadership — enabling better purchasing decisions, fewer emergency fixes and improved operational efficiency.
