In response to an equity lawsuit ruling in 2005, the Department of Education mandated statewide facilities assessments and executed an agreement with Dude Solutions to provide software for their more than 200 school districts to track maintenance work orders and preventive maintenance (PM) work.
There are currently 235 public school districts that are licensing over 850 of our solutions in Arkansas. All public schools now leverage our work and asset management software for work orders, preventive maintenance, mobile work order app and our KPI and benchmarking tools that include Dude Intelligence. Our solutions are currently supporting approximately 475,000 students in 5,694 sites (school buildings) in Arkansas. 14,524 educators and support staff leverage the online requester portal to report and track repair requests. Maintenance teams completed over 190,773 repair requests and 212,501 PMs in FY 2015 alone.
