Elevate your educational facilities and budgets
With Brightly, K-12 and higher ed institutions can create safer, more effective learning environments by leveraging data to streamline maintenance workflows, minimize potential risks, and forecast the future impact of funding decisions.
Software designed to improve school efficiency
Streamline maintenance and prevent disruptions
Maintaining a smooth learning environment requires efficient upkeep of your facilities. Schedule preventative maintenance to avoid unexpected downtime, automate work order assignments to appropriate team members, and provide access to real-time facilities and equipment data from any device, to improve response times and completion rates.
Avoid unexpected costs and breakdowns
Leverage historical and real-time data to forecast and speed-up maintenance workflows before breakdowns occur, model funding scenarios to compare long-term outcomes, and prioritize projects that deliver the highest ROI.
Improve capital planning with data-driven insights
Justify your funding requests with clear, data-driven insights on the condition and maintenance needs of your facilities. Prioritize repairs, forecast capital needs, and present transparent reports that validate your investment decisions and ensure plans are aligned with long-term strategic goals.
Simplify event planning and management
Prevent headaches by streamlining event planning and coordination. Track event expenses to recover costs and measure ROI, eliminate errors or double bookings, manage payments, send invoices, and track transactions all from a centralized, user-friendly platform.
Enhance energy efficiency
Easily monitor and manage utility usage, so you can cut costs and redirect those savings to what matters most—your students. Identify and eliminate waste, leverage data to optimize energy efficiency across your facilities, and showcase costs to stakeholders and your community.
