Case Study: Loyola University New Orleans strengthens campus resilience with Brightly Software Asset Essentials

Loyola University New Orleans cuts utility usage by nearly 20% with Brightly Software

Loyola University New Orleans faced a critical challenge with its aging infrastructure, particularly its boilers and chillers, which were operating beyond their useful life. A lack of standardized preventative maintenance and the corrosive local water supply created a high-risk environment that culminated in a complete boiler system failure. To address this, the university partnered with Brightly Software and implemented its Asset Essentials asset management solution to gain visibility and transform its approach to maintenance.

Brightly Software's solution enabled Loyola to shift from a reactive, crisis-response model to a proactive, preventative maintenance workforce. The implementation of Asset Essentials provided the tools for standardized work orders, asset tracking, and long-term lifecycle planning. The results were significant, including nearly a 20% reduction in utility usage, the successful replacement of failed critical systems, and improved staff morale leading to 100% staffing in the facilities department. Brightly helped the university build a resilient, future-ready campus with a robust business continuity plan.
