Case Study: Vector Technology Solutions achieves 75% faster license auditing with GitLab

Vector Technology Solutions cuts license auditing time by 75% with GitLab

Vector Technology Solutions (VTS), a subsidiary of New Zealand's largest energy distributor, faced significant governance and security challenges due to a fragmented toolchain built around GitHub. This patchwork of six different tools created overhead, configuration drift, and made it difficult to meet strict compliance obligations like ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Their manual license auditing process alone took two full days of engineering time annually.

By implementing a self-hosted deployment of GitLab Ultimate, VTS consolidated its entire DevOps toolchain onto a single platform. The solution provided unified visibility and control, enabling VTS to achieve a 75% faster license auditing process, reducing it from two days to just half a day. GitLab also improved security by shifting vulnerability detection left into merge requests, giving engineers upfront visibility and reducing governance overhead across the entire team.
