Its picturesque campus that includes both historic buildings and newly constructed facilities houses 98% of their 2,200 students. They have over 400 employees and about one-tenth of them are responsible for maintaining the campus property in some way.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"the_challenge\" class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-challenge\">The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When John DiBenedetto joined the maintenance department at Grove City College, he knew of only one maintenance management software for schools: School Dude (now Brightly). It hadn\u2019t been updated since the late 90s and was useless for many of his team\u2019s functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His first priority was to examine the department\u2019s systems, find inefficiencies, and reorient his team to better processes. DeBenedetto recalls, \u201cRight away, I dove into School Dude and I was like, \u2018This is terrible.\u2019\u201d He decided to take a careful look at what they needed in a maintenance management software, and find a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the variety of facilities across a densely populated campus, they needed a modern software that would be robust enough to fit all of their needs. But it also needed to be simple enough for their tech-resistant team members to jump in and use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div id=\"list_icons-block_bf07432e99f5e280244b78c226173607\" class=\"list-icons-block \" style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <ul class=\"custom-list\">\n                                    <li class=\"list-item\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pricing-table-yes.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\">\n                                                <span class=\"list-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Reporting and custom dashboards<\/span>\n                    <\/li>\n                                    <li class=\"list-item\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pricing-table-yes.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\">\n                                                <span class=\"list-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Work order request portal for students<\/span>\n                    <\/li>\n                                    <li class=\"list-item\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pricing-table-yes.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\">\n                                                <span class=\"list-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Inventory tracking and management<\/span>\n                    <\/li>\n                                    <li class=\"list-item\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pricing-table-yes.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\">\n                                                <span class=\"list-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Easy-of-use for any level of technical savvy (or lack thereof)<\/span>\n                    <\/li>\n                                    <li class=\"list-item\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pricing-table-yes.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\">\n                                                <span class=\"list-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Mobile functionality<\/span>\n                    <\/li>\n                                    <li class=\"list-item\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pricing-table-yes.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\">\n                                                <span class=\"list-text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Streamlined communication<\/span>\n                    <\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n        #list_icons-block_bf07432e99f5e280244b78c226173607 {\n            padding: 20px;\n            border-radius: 10px;\n            text-align: left;\n        }\n        .custom-list {\n            list-style: none;\n            padding: 0;\n        }\n        .list-item {\n            display: flex;\n            align-items: center;\n            margin-bottom: 10px;\n        }\n        .icon {\n            margin-right: 10px;\n        }\n        .list-text {\n            font-size: 16px;\n        }\n    <\/style>\n\n\n<!-- <blockquote id=\"testimonial-block_048a277eb00db2a418ed705c10edbadf\" class=\"testimonial \">\n    <p>The implementation process was so easy that it was flawless.

They made the decision in January of 2022, but planned an August implementation to allow for sufficient transition and training time. However, they found it was so easy to adopt they had it up and running within just a few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One issue that arose during implementation took everyone by surprise. \u201cBecause School Dude was so bad, the guys actually had a difficult time adjusting,\u201d explained DiBennidetto. They needed to unlearn many of the workarounds they put in place to make their old system work. It took a shift in perspective, but with Limble, they had a system flexible enough to be customized to their needs, rather than the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it came to training, DiBenedetto didn\u2019t need to worry\u2014they taught each other. As new staff were hired, the existing team show them how Limble worked.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"the_result\" class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-result\">The Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Limble has provided more efficiency, accountability, and useful data \u2014 all things they didn\u2019t have in a reliable way before. They were able to get over 2,000 work orders done in just one summer, which wasn\u2019t a possibility before Limble. They were getting a lot more done than with their old system and they now had the data to prove it. And with custom dashboards that clearly show productivity, they were able to offer assistance to those who seemed to be struggling. \u201cWe\u2019ve been using it for strategic and accountability purposes; the custom dashboards have been incredible for that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His team has said that they\u2019re on time or ahead on their PMs for the first time ever. That positive feedback has proved to DiBennedetto that Limble was the right choice.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- <blockquote id=\"testimonial-block_9bcf11c21fe3ed6c26fe7e3978398dfc\" class=\"testimonial \">\n    <p>I am not a salesman, but I do love raving about something that I love.
