Case Study: Gunnedah Shire Council improves asset management maturity with Siemens Assetic

Gunnedah Shire Council secures $3.1 million annual funding gap with Brightly Software

Gunnedah Shire Council faced significant challenges in managing its $865 million in assets after an internal audit revealed its data was scattered across 63 different files. This led to data silos, duplication, and inefficiencies, compounded by an outdated asset register system that lacked integration and mobile accessibility. The council engaged Brightly Software to complete a maturity assessment and modernize its asset management processes.

Brightly Software implemented its Assetic Enterprise Asset Management System to centralize the council's data. This included migrating 30,000 assets and using its Predictor tool to develop asset management plans. The results were significant: the council completed its audit with an unmodified opinion and successfully secured a Special Rate Variation, which revealed it had been underfunding maintenance by $3.1 million annually. Brightly's solution provided the council with a single source of truth, greatly improved its asset management maturity, and secured vital funding for infrastructure.
