Case Study: CLAAS achieves faster, more secure Salesforce deployments with Copado

Steering CLAAS Toward Agile Salesforce Development and Secure Metadata Mastery

CLAAS, a German agricultural machinery manufacturer, faced significant challenges in its Salesforce development process due to legacy systems and siloed teams. Their reliance on an external partner for releases led to slow, error-prone deployments and difficulty managing metadata, which hindered their goals of improving compliance, security, and release velocity. To overcome these digital hurdles and gain control, they turned to the DevOps platform from Copado.

By implementing Copado, CLAAS automated its deployment pipeline, bringing the entire CI/CD process in-house. This solution provided precise control over changes, eliminated manual tasks, and offered real-time visibility into development. The results for CLAAS were transformative: they achieved a 10x acceleration in user story testing, reduced production fail rates to near zero, and gained the flexibility for on-demand fixes and efficient weekday deployments, all while enhancing team collaboration and security.
