Case Study: GuideOne achieves centralized automated job scheduling and $32,000 annual savings with Stonebranch’s Universal Agent

GuideOne Insurance Automates Disparate Job Scheduling Environment with Stonebranch’s Universal Agent

GuideOne, a major insurer for churches and faith-based institutions, faced a fragmented scheduling environment: an ESP scheduler on the mainframe plus costly ESP agents on distributed platforms that made further automation unaffordable. To consolidate and automate production processes cost‑effectively, GuideOne selected Stonebranch’s Universal Agent (Independent Scheduling Agents) to integrate mainframe and distributed environments.

Stonebranch implemented Universal Agent to provide centralized monitoring, routing and standardized production scheduling. As a result, GuideOne recovered roughly 10% of three full‑time employees’ time (about $32,000 saved in the first year), improved processing integrity and inter‑department communication, simplified auditing, and achieved a measurable return on automation.
