Case Study: Schneider Electric achieves higher code quality and faster code reviews with Codacy

Saving time, learning Scala, and improving Code Quality at Schneider Electric

Schneider Electric’s cloud-based simulation team builds Scala-based tools to model industrial processes like power plants. They faced the challenge of onboarding developers new to Scala while maintaining code quality and keeping pull request reviews efficient — historically many files scored D–F on quality metrics.

By integrating Codacy into their gitflow, the team automated routine checks on every pull request, reinforced Scala best practices, and reduced review time by up to two hours per PR. Within a year Codacy helped raise every file’s grade to A or B, streamlined reviews, and provided ongoing education for new Scala developers.
