Brightly Software Welcomes Frankston City Council to the Growing Community of Councils Transforming Asset Management Through Next-Generation EAM Technology
Melbourne – 4 June 2026
It is with great pleasure that Brightly Software, a Siemens Company, welcomes Frankston City Council as its preferred software provider for a next-generation cloud-based Enterprise Asset Management System, supporting Council’s vision for smarter asset intelligence, operational efficiency, and long-term strategic asset management.
The initiative will modernise operations, unlock intelligent data-driven asset management, and empower Council to deliver smarter, faster and more connected services to its rapidly growing community, while positioning the organisation for long-term operational excellence and future readiness.
Frankston Council is a vibrant City on the eastern shores of Port Phillip Bay, home to an estimated 142,826 residents across nine suburbs and projected to grow to over 161,000 by 2041. The Council stewards a significant asset portfolio valued at $2.15 billion, spanning infrastructure, property, plant, and equipment that underpins the daily lives of its community.
Brightly’s Senior Sales Director, Jim Apostolovski, said: “Local Councils are increasingly moving away from legacy systems and disparate systems, towards best-of-breed, interoperable ecosystems that enable greater agility, integration and data-driven decision-making.
In this environment, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) has become a strategic capability, providing councils with a trusted foundation for asset intelligence, lifecycle visibility, and long-term planning. Brightly Software is a critical enabler of this shift in the Local Government market, delivering purpose-built EAM and Strategic Asset Management (SAM) that sits at the core of a modern, connected council technology ecosystem.
Many progressive and forward-thinking Councils are embarking on a journey to reimagine the entire EAM landscape through next-generation technology available today. Brightly is delivering this transformative platform globally, with Local Councils across Australia and New Zealand increasingly embracing this evolution to drive smarter asset intelligence, operational efficiency, and long-term strategic asset planning.”
A Solution Built Around the Council's Needs
Brightly’s Asset Management platform will provide Council with an integrated, cloud-based solution designed to deliver:
- Enterprise Asset Management and Works Management
- Mobile field operations capability
- Asset Accounting and Valuations
- Lifecycle Modelling and Investment Planning
The result will be a single source of truth for asset data and will enable streamlined works management, inspections, GIS/mapping, financial reporting, and predictive lifecycle modelling, all accessible securely from anywhere.
The EAM solution will drive increased staff productivity, reduce reliance on manual and paper-based processes, enable a truly mobile and connected workforce, and enhance operational decision-making, governance and compliance across the organisation.
A Collaborative Approach to Smarter Asset Management
Brightly’s approach extends beyond the delivery of software. Council will benefit from Brightly’s dedicated Australian-based implementation and support teams, a proven delivery methodology refined through more than 200 public sector implementations, and access to ongoing training, knowledge transfer and support services designed to build internal capability, operational maturity and long-term self-sufficiency.
As part of the Siemens Smart Infrastructure Group, Brightly brings the financial stability, global innovation pipeline, and sustainability commitments that councils like Frankston can rely on in a trusted technology partner.
The Brightly team looks forward to partnering closely with Frankston City Council to deliver a solution that empowers its people, optimises the management and performance of its asset portfolio, and drives sustainable, long-term outcomes for the Frankston community.
