Case Study: 42Gears streamlines DevOps and cuts app testing costs by 50% with AstroFarm

AstroFarm helps 42Gears streamline DevOps operations and slash app testing costs by 50%

42Gears, a leading MDM solution provider, needed a cost-effective way to give geographically distributed developers and testers remote access to devices during the pandemic. With teams unable to access devices across offices, testing and development slowed, shipping hardware was costly, and faulty devices caused delays and reruns.

To solve this, 42Gears implemented AstroFarm, its private device farm platform, to remotely enroll and manage Android and iOS devices from a single platform. As a result, 42Gears improved device availability, achieved a 62% ROI on existing device purchases, reduced new device procurement costs by 51%, and cut hardware spend from USD 5,980 and USD 7,442 in 2019 and 2020 to USD 3,660 in 2021.
