ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ has purchased next-generation software from Brightly Software called Asset Essentials (AE) for asset and work order management. Customer Service is currently in the process of migrating to this new work order system. AE will be used to submit electronic maintenance and custodial requests in the same manner you did in the SchoolDude Maintenance Direct system. AE will provide Customer Service and Facilities Services with more thorough detail and tracking of work requests and give requestors the ability to track work order progress from origination to completion.

The Customer Service Center is doing a phased rollout of Asset Essentials. Beginning June 26, 2023, Zone 1 buildings will no longer be available in the maintenance directory. All new work orders for Zone 1 will need to be phoned in or emailed to the below.

Additional information will be forthcoming including future rollout dates. Please contact the Customer Service Center at 216.368.2580 if you have any questions.
