Case Study: Kirkwood Community College improves facilities planning and maintenance efficiency with Brightly Software Asset Essentials

Kirkwood Community College plans 10 years of deferred maintenance with Brightly Software

Kirkwood Community College, a community college in Iowa, faced challenges with a complex and time-consuming CMMS that had replaced their legacy Siemens products. Their facilities team needed a simpler, more effective solution to manage maintenance across their large portfolio of buildings and assets. They turned to Brightly Software and implemented its Asset Essentials platform.

By deploying Brightly's Asset Essentials along with Predictor and Energy Manager, the college gained a streamlined and powerful asset management solution. The results included the ability to plan deferred maintenance schedules for the next decade, import data for over 5,000 assets, and use detailed analytics to benchmark performance. Brightly's software enabled the team to set and track key goals, such as increasing preventive maintenance work orders from 44% to 50% and improving their reactive maintenance completion rate.
