Case Study: Somerset County Council achieves cost savings and operational efficiencies with Brightly Software's Confirm On-Demand

New cloud-based Brightly Confirm Asset Management Solution delivers cost savings and operational efficiencies

Somerset County Council, which serves 550,000 residents and manages 6,700 km of roads supporting an £11B local economy, needed to replace a largely manual, on‑site process for tracking and maintaining its highway assets. The council sought a robust, scalable solution to improve safety, reduce risk and streamline operations across its highways and related departments.

By migrating its Confirm Asset Management system to Brightly’s Confirm On‑Demand cloud platform, Somerset gained 24/7 hosted support, real‑time data access and extra functionality while freeing internal IT resources. The move delivered cost and resource savings, improved asset performance, better budget and repair planning, strengthened Streetworks integration, and a simple online reporting interface that lets residents proactively report highway hazards.
