Case Study: Automattic achieves remote-work productivity and growth with Fleep

Automattic scales remote work across 275+ employees with Fleep

Automattic, the creator of WordPress, sought to build a highly productive and creative team without being constrained by a traditional office environment. Their challenge was to prove that a purely remote workforce could not only function but thrive and scale effectively. The vendor, Fleep, provided its team chat service to facilitate this remote collaboration.

Fleep implemented a solution centered on measuring results rather than hours worked, using agile Scrum methodologies with daily virtual stand-ups. This approach provided the team with an overview of responsibilities and progress, preventing employees from feeling overworked. The results for Automattic were significant, growing from a small project to a 275+ person company that runs 50% of the world's biggest websites. Fleep's practices helped Automattic build a team of highly autonomous and productive individuals, proving that a focus on output is a successful model for remote work.
