Brightly

Brightly Software, formerly known as Assetic, was founded in Melbourne in 2007 and serving over 12,000 clients globally across government, education, healthcare, and infrastructure. In Australian local government, Brightly is best known for its strategic asset management and capital investment planning software, which helps councils understand the current condition of their infrastructure, predict when assets will need renewal, and model the long-term financial impact of different investment scenarios. For councils facing difficult decisions about ageing infrastructure with constrained budgets, Brightly's planning tools provide the data needed to make the case for investment and prioritise spending where it matters most. The platform covers strategic asset management, condition assessment, capital investment forecasting, maintenance and work management, multi-year capital works planning, and public infrastructure asset management. Brightly serves over 200 local government, state, and federal agencies across Australia. Named council clients include Golden Plains Shire Council, City of Victor Harbor, City of Melton, and more. Brightly's platform is cloud-hosted and holds ISO 27001 certification. It supports the fair value reporting requirements that Australian councils must meet under accounting standards, and integrates with council ERP and finance systems.
