Case Study: Blue Bird Corporation centralizes operations with Stonebranch Universal Automation Center

Centralizes Operations with Universal Automation Center

Blue Bird Corporation, a large enterprise manufacturing school buses, had lost control of the many scheduled tasks running across its servers as systems and workloads grew. With no central authority or notification system, task failures often went unnoticed until they caused production issues, creating a need for a single enterprise-wide automation solution. Stonebranch’s Universal Automation Center (UAC) was selected to bring order and visibility to operations.

Stonebranch implemented UAC across Blue Bird’s UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems, helping migrate tasks into a centralized automation ecosystem with dashboards, customizable reports, and real-time alerts. As a result, Blue Bird’s IT team can now detect issues the moment they occur and respond proactively instead of reacting after problems hit production, while business users gained self-service visibility. Blue Bird also reported more efficient task execution and fewer inaccurate error reports, and praised Stonebranch for a smooth rollout, strong support, and valuable knowledge transfer.
