Case Study: Xaxis achieves days-to-hours Salesforce deployments and Agile releases with Gearset

Xaxis - Customer Case Study

Xaxis, a global programmatic advertising platform, needed a mature release management solution for their complex Salesforce environments. Their team had tried Change Sets, Eclipse/Ant and a multipurpose CI tool but faced lost work, overwritten metadata, slow sandbox refreshes and difficulty scaling as they adopted Agile. Seeking a Salesforce-focused deployment tool, Xaxis switched to Gearset’s release management solution.

Gearset replaced manual package builds and the brittle CI setup, enabling quick cloning and promotion through Dev → QA → UAT → Production and preventing metadata overwrite issues. As a result, Xaxis cut deployment time from days to hours (tasks that once took a day and a half now take about one to two hours), accelerated Agile releases, and improved relationships with end users — all backed by Gearset’s responsive support.
