Brightly Asset Essentials Overview

What is Brightly Asset Essentials?

Asset Essentials by Brightly Software is a next-generation work and asset management platform designed for smarter, more efficient maintenance and operations. Now a Siemens company, Brightly is the global leader in intelligent asset management solutions. Over 12,000 operations leaders utilize this system to manage more than 49 million assets and 386 million work orders. This user-friendly platform empowers private organizations and public agencies to cut maintenance costs, improve productivity, and make smarter operations decisions. With Asset Essentials, users initiate, assign, and track the progress of existing maintenance work orders, as well as create advanced workflows with preventive maintenance (PM) scheduling to improve long-term asset health. Users set and monitor asset thresholds with predictive maintenance (PdM) utilizing IoT sensors to reduce asset downtime. The free mobile application allows technicians to capture parts transactions or quickly issue work orders during a failed task – even in poor connectivity areas – enabling them to accomplish more in the field or off-site. The solution also allows users to easily track and manage inventory of frequently used parts, streamlining just-in-time maintenance to ensure they have what they need, when they need it. The solution is packed with analytical and reporting and capabilities, with 100+ predefined reports, dashboards, and KPIs, giving users real-time data and analysis at their fingers to make and justify critical operational and budget decisions. Asset Essentials integrates with your software ecosystem through our open APIs, as well as other Brightly products, ensuring a continued 360-view of your operations. At Brightly, we’re proud that our clients call our support “legendary.” We partner with you to bring deep, industry-focused expertise, integrated technology and committed client service teams to help you accomplish more than you think is possible. Whether it is before, during or after implementation, our 24/7 support team is always just a call, chat or email away. And, if you want to connect with peers or conduct your own due diligence, the Brightly Community is just a few clicks away for instant product help and peer connections. Asset Essentials is a highly configurable platform designed for manufacturing, education (public K-12, higher education, and private and independent schools), government (local, county and state level) and membership organizations (YMCAs and country clubs).

What do you like best about Brightly Asset Essentials?

The ability to have all the different locations use the program and attach pictures to the work order request so that we know where the problem is. I love the option that you can use your cell phone as well which makes it easier for the requestor to be able to be at the specific area that needs attention and not have to go to a computer to write up what's wrong. I also love the fact we the ones that have to assign the work order request can select different personnel to look and assess the problem. It was very easy to implement the program to all of our users that were going to be the ones entering the work orders. Customer support is fantastic, if you have an issue they are right there to help you. The program is used every day in all of our buildings. Adding new staff to be requestors is so easy we have never had a person that wasn't able to put in a work order right after creating their password! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
