Case Study: Rawhide Boys Ranch achieves huge utility savings and streamlined work orders with Brightly Software

Rawhide Boys Ranch saves money with Utility Tracking and Maintenance Software

Rawhide Boys Ranch, a 600‑acre facility in New London, WI with 22 buildings and a four‑person maintenance team, struggled with a paper‑based system and needed a way to document work and track utilities to uncover inefficiencies and manage inspections and assets more reliably.

They implemented Dude Solutions’ CMMS and utility‑tracking software, which was easy to set up and quickly adopted by staff. The system turned inspections into tracked work orders, clarified repair‑vs‑replace decisions, and made spending transparent—enabling the ranch to justify a $260,000 boiler/chiller upgrade and realize dramatic energy savings (as much as a 74% drop in one building) while streamlining the maintenance process.
