Case Study: Great American Insurance Company achieves $417,000+ in first-year savings and streamlined space management with ARCHIBUS

Great American Insurance Company: Putting a Premium on Successful Space Management

Great American Insurance Company, a Top-20 U.S. insurer founded in 1872 with 5,000 employees and 1.8 million square feet under lease across 100 buildings, struggled to understand and manage its space. Relying on a headcount-based chargeback method, Excel spreadsheets and an Access database led to double data entry, poor utilization insight amid a 26% churn rate, and inadequate integration with AutoCAD drawings.

Working with partner GBBN, Great American implemented ARCHIBUS Space Management (Web Central with AutoCAD overlay) in about three months, adding floor‑plan‑linked Workforce Search, mapping tools and telecom inventory capabilities. The system enabled vacancy identification, lease consolidation and early terminations, improved rent and utilization reporting with accounting integration, and produced $417,000 in savings in the first year while laying a roadmap for future asset tracking.
