Case Study: Coop Denmark achieves near-100% workload automation with Stonebranch

Coop Denmark achieves near-100% workload automation by switching to Stonebranch solution

Coop Denmark, a leading supermarket chain with 1,200 stores and 38,000 employees, faced rapid growth and increasing IT complexity after multiple acquisitions. Their existing BMC Control‑M environment struggled with integration, transparency and scaling from about 20,000 to an expected 100,000 daily tasks, so Coop selected Stonebranch and its Universal Automation Center as a more universal workload automation solution.

Stonebranch implemented Universal Automation Center in two weeks (about 83% faster and $60,000 cheaper than the previous BMC rollout), using an automation conversion tool to cut conversion time by 50% and virtual machines to save ~$28,000/year. The switch enabled nearly 100% workload automation (up to 100,000 tasks daily), 20% faster workflows, a 25% reduction in production backlog, automated batch savings of two hours/day, $44,000 saved in training costs, and more than $275,000/year saved in audit preparation time.
