Case Study: Town of Walkerville achieves better long-term asset decisions with Brightly Software

Town of Walkerville reinvests $300,000 a year with Brightly Software

The Town of Walkerville, a local council in Adelaide, faced the challenge of balancing high community expectations for its infrastructure with the need to keep rates low. To make smarter, long-term budget allocation decisions for its $220 million worth of assets, the council implemented Siemens Strategic Asset Management (SAM) software from Brightly Software.

Using Brightly Software's predictive modelling, the council determined its roads were in excellent condition and did not require immediate maintenance. This evidence allowed them to confidently reallocate $300,000 annually from the road budget to fund a major redevelopment project. The solution provided by Brightly Software enabled long-term, data-driven decision making, ensuring financial sustainability and allowing the council to invest in key community facilities without detrimentally impacting service quality.
