Case Study: Cordry-Sweetwater Conservancy District achieves reduced drive time and faster work-order completion with Brightly Software

Indiana Conservancy District Saves Windshield Time with GIS Capabilities

Cordry-Sweetwater Conservancy District in Nineveh, Indiana oversees 2,300 acres, two lakes, 35 miles of road and a water utility serving 1,350 homes with a small team of utility and grounds staff. The district struggled with paper-based recordkeeping, lost historical job data and significant "windshield time" as crews drove back to the office between work orders, even after trying multiple software packages.

Implementing Dude Solutions’ Mobile311 with GPS-enabled mobile work orders gave field crews assignments on their phones and let supervisors route the closest worker to requests. The district saw faster response and completion times (many work orders closed in about 20 minutes, leaks fixed in ~3 hours), reduced fuel and drive time, improved KPIs and recordkeeping, and better communication and staff morale.
