Case Study: TransAct Technologies boosts software development efficiency with 42Gears AstroFarm

AstroFarm Helps TransAct Technologies Increase Efficiency and Accelerate the Software Development Process

TransAct Technologies, a global leader in software-driven technology and printing solutions for industries like restaurants, casinos, gaming, and oil and gas, needed a better way to develop and test cloud-based applications across many devices and conditions. Its globally distributed engineering teams lacked access to enough automation testing tools and struggled to test across different operating systems, browsers, network states, and device conditions. 42Gears’ SureMDM was already in use to manage deployed devices, and AstroFarm was introduced to help address these development challenges.

Using 42Gears’ AstroFarm, TransAct Technologies gained remote access to a private device farm for development and testing, allowing the team to use existing devices instead of buying or renting new ones. The solution enabled remote network testing and faster SDLC execution, improving development team productivity by 25% and saving more than $2,000 in equipment and transportation costs in the first months of use. 42Gears also helped TransAct reduce engineering setup time, improve operational efficiency, and speed time to market.
