Case Study: International Banking and Financial Services Company reduces capital project payback period with Switch Automation

Reduced capital project payback period from 5 to 3 years

International Banking and Financial Services Company, a Fortune 100 organization with 3,000+ branches and corporate office buildings across the USA, needed a faster, more data-driven way to manage its annual $1M capital project budget. With a 12-person engineering team spending 3–5 days each month manually aggregating data from thousands of branches, the company turned to Switch Automation and its Switch Portfolio Intelligence platform to streamline reporting and improve project prioritization.

Switch Automation implemented Switch Portfolio Intelligence to connect multiple monthly data streams, including utility bills, work orders, ENERGY STAR data, asset inventory, capital plans, and building metadata, plus virtual weather feeds for weather-normalized energy analysis. As a result, the bank centralized portfolio data, improved fault detection and diagnostics, and reduced capital project payback from 5 years to 3 years, effectively doubling IRR, quadrupling NPV, and increasing NPV by more than $750K.
