Rapid-Fire Releases and Less Stress for Left Main REI

The Challenge

Navigating the Salesforce Labyrinth

Left Main REI was juggling over 300 clients with a Salesforce release process that was as chaotic as ten tornados in a teapot.

‍

Here's a glimpse into the mayhem they faced:

‍

• Manual Madness: Quarterly release days were unstructured, manual mazes. Developers constantly overwrote each other's code, creating a tangle of changes and rewrites that forced the team to burn the midnight oil and work weekends.
• Collaboration Chaos: Documentation was haphazard, and collaboration was a wild goose chase in a cramped org space. It was a recipe for frustration and an endless game of "Who changed what?"
• Post-Release Pandemonium: Each release triggered an avalanche of up to 50 customer tickets. These ranged from minor glitches to major distress calls that indicated Left Main REI’s deployment strategy needed a major overhaul.
