Case Study: Wayne United Methodist Church achieves 20-year capital-planning foresight with Brightly Software

Wayne United Methodist Church gains 20 years of foresight into their capital planning

Wayne United Methodist Church in Wayne, PA is a 42,000 sq ft historic facility that relied on paper and Excel for operations and capital planning, leaving trustees — led by Trustee Chair Scott Wilson — to allocate funds by guesswork and endure slow approval processes for needed renovations. The church needed a formal operations and capital-asset system to plan beyond break/fix repairs and justify larger projects.

They implemented Dude Solutions’ cloud CMMS with CapitalForecast and Facility Condition Assessments, quickly onboarding users with training and license tracking. The platform produced a 20-year replacement calendar, improved budgeting and preventive maintenance, sped approvals, and captured vendor/repair history—enabling data-driven capital requests and proactive stewardship of church assets.
