Case Study: Columbus School for Girls achieves streamlined, time-saving maintenance with Brightly Software's Asset Essentials

The Columbus School for Girls Drives Behind-the-Scenes Efficiency with Asset Essentials

Columbus School for Girls, a private school in Bexley, Ohio serving about 500 students across a main campus, an athletic campus and a 100‑acre science center, faced maintenance inefficiencies after relying on a legacy work‑order system. With just five maintenance staff, technicians were overwhelmed by hundreds of open or duplicated tasks and preventive maintenance often went overlooked.

In May 2023 the school implemented Brightly’s Asset Essentials, adding location‑level mapping, photo‑enabled work orders and automated preventive‑maintenance generation, while enabling 100+ staff to submit requests via mobile. The result: faster, more efficient repairs, streamlined work‑order intake, automated PM workflows and clearer leadership visibility for succession planning.
