Case Study: Energy Solutions achieves real-time operational reactivity and centralized job automation with Fortra Automate Schedule

Energy Solutions Brings Real-Time Reactivity to Its Operations with Automate Schedule

Energy Solutions, an Oakland-based consulting firm that runs incentive programs and public energy-use portals for California utilities, struggled with fragmented, time-based job scheduling across multiple servers. Developers spent excessive time maintaining custom scripts and manually checking disparate schedulers, producing redundant runs and noisy logs that slowed real-time transaction processing and nightly report pre-calculations.

By implementing Automate Schedule, Energy Solutions centralized job management, replaced custom scripts with cross-system, event-driven triggers (like file arrivals), and gained a consolidated job history with automatic alerts for delays or errors. The result was immediate, real-time processing when files arrive, cleaner logs, reduced developer effort, and a significant time savings from not having to manually check each execution agent.
