The Challenge
Bethesda Country Club, a full-service family-oriented facility, was facing challenges in managing its large facilities and grounds. The club's existing solution was not able to keep up with their needs, particularly in terms of asset tracking and reporting. The operations team needed a solution that could not only track orders but also help them prepare for the future. The club was outgrowing their current facility management platform and were just starting to track their assets. They needed a more robust and technologically modern solution to track their employees’ jobs, and the club also wanted to be able to track the history of their assets to make better decisions about repairs and maintenance outside of their current Excel spreadsheet. Furthermore, they lacked a way to quickly and easily create a report for their Board of Governors that contained realistic data for future budget planning.
About The Customer
Bethesda Country Club is a full-service country club that is centered on the family environment. The club has 18 holes of golf, 12 tennis courts, multiple restaurants, a large pool complex, an over 40,000 square foot clubhouse, youth activity programs and much more. With so many moving assets and a large property to oversee, it’s vital for the facilities and operations teams to stay on top of everything in their operations and facility management. The club was seeking a solution that could help them manage their assets more effectively and provide realistic data for future budget planning.
The Solution
Bethesda Country Club implemented Brightly, a modern CMMS solution, in December of 2015 to address their challenges. Brightly provided the club with greater visibility into their team’s work orders, the history and status of their assets, and presented more realistic data for better decision making and more accurate budget forecasting. The solution empowered managers to review the work orders and ensure that the right team member gets the work order. With Brightly's reporting features, presenting realistic data to the Board of Governors became much easier. The Director of Clubhouse Operations, Brian Donohoe, was able to supply board members with easy to read reports to assist in important decision making and provide status updates as needed.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
