Case Study: Ovarro achieves safer pipeline inspections with ConfigCat feature flags

Ovarro rolls out pipeline inspection features gradually with ConfigCat since 2021

Ovarro, through its ControlPoint division, delivers digital quality assurance solutions for gas and water pipeline inspections. Their mobile app, BlueBox, is critical for welders to capture real-time data, but releasing new features was risky as a single bug could halt work on-site. They needed a more robust system than their custom solution to manage gradual rollouts and have emergency kill switches, which led them to the ConfigCat feature flag service.

By implementing ConfigCat, Ovarro gained the ability to perform percentage-based rollouts and utilize emergency kill switches, ensuring zero disruption for their users. ConfigCat provided a solution to a mobile operating system limitation, allowing them to safely roll out a new camera feature by targeting specific devices and users. This approach minimized risk and provided the remote configuration flexibility necessary for their integrated apps.
