Case Study: Sysco achieves 90% faster Salesforce deployments with Blue Canvas

Sysco cuts Salesforce deployment time by 90% with Blue Canvas

Sysco, a Fortune 500 food distribution company, faced significant challenges in scaling its Salesforce DevOps processes. With over 40 admins and developers, the team struggled with a costly and high-maintenance Jenkins pipeline that frequently broke with Salesforce updates. They also lacked native Git integration for metadata backup and rollbacks, complicating SOX compliance, and their manual release cycles were slow, creating bottlenecks that prevented an Agile workflow.

Blue Canvas implemented its Salesforce DevOps platform to automate metadata backup, version control, and release management. The solution provided native Git integration for automatic change tracking and SOX-compliant audit trails. It also featured a new Bulk Releases capability to coordinate multi-team deployments. As a result, Sysco cut deployment time by 90%, from over two hours to under ten minutes, and accelerated its release cycle from monthly to a two-week Agile cadence, all while achieving 100% team adoption.
