Case Study: Medina County, OH achieves $100K+ annual vehicle maintenance savings with Brightly Software's Asset Essentials

Medina County, OH Saves $100K+ on Vehicle Maintenance with Asset Essentials

Medina County, Ohio (pop. ~190,000)—led by Facilities Director Steven Bastean and a 25+ person team managing 26 locations—faced the challenge of taking over vehicle maintenance while still relying on paper processes and lacking the data needed to justify decisions and resource requests.

By moving to Brightly’s Asset Essentials, the county digitized fleet and asset management, tracking 860 assets and 100+ vehicles and completing 457 fleet work orders (Jan–Oct). That operational visibility helped them shift work in‑house, realize $180K in savings in that period, sustain $100K+ in annual savings, purchase $80K of garage equipment, extend vehicle life, and bill and report costs more accurately.
