Case Study: Stratton Mountain Resort achieves preventive maintenance, cleared backlog and $50K energy savings with Brightly Software

Stratton Mountain Resort Tackles Steep Backlog with Preventive Maintenance and Major Cost Savings Opportunities

Stratton Mountain Resort, a year‑round Vermont destination with 670 acres of terrain and an eight‑person maintenance crew, was hampered by a large backlog of deferred maintenance. Their in‑house CMMS/email system provided no clear work‑order visibility, tracking or planning, leaving facilities underprepared for heavy winter demand and wearing on guest experience.

After implementing Dude Solutions under Facilities Manager Glenn LaPlante, the team gained real work‑order visibility, reporting and planning tools, which enabled them to clear the backlog, shift to preventive maintenance and justify targeted retrofits. Results included $50,000 net energy savings from a $6,000 steam‑trap project, lower energy bills, reduced corrective work and seasonal payroll allocations, and improved staffing and budgeting through better data.
