Case Study: nCino achieves faster releases and QA automation with CircleCI

Bringing Digital Transformation to Financial Institutions

nCino is a cloud banking software company that builds a Bank Operating System on Salesforce to automate loan origination and other banking processes, helping financial institutions close loans faster and reduce costs. As nCino scaled, their QA and build pipelines were manual and slow—QA engineers spent hours tagging commits, linking JIRA tickets, and running Salesforce steps by hand—creating a bottleneck that hindered growth and wasted skilled resources.

nCino adopted CircleCI for a cloud-based, source-controlled CI solution that was quick to set up and flexible to extend. With build definitions and YAML in GitHub, plus tight GitHub integration, the team automated testing and deployment workflows, moved toward continuous delivery, reduced manual QA effort, accelerated releases, and improved visibility of release status across the organization.
