Case Study: Bennetts saves time and simplifies auditing with Octopus Deploy

How Bennetts saved time and made auditing easier with Octopus

Bennetts is a UK bike insurance specialist with around 200 staff serving hundreds of thousands of riders. They were struggling with Microsoft Release Management — the team had poor visibility into deployments, heavy reliance on custom PowerShell scripts, difficult auditing, and time-consuming onboarding and handovers, so they turned to Octopus Deploy to address these issues.

Octopus Deploy provided an intuitive deployment platform that eliminated much custom scripting, gave clear, accessible audit trails, and supported agent-based deployments and automation for operational tasks (health checks, log copying, app pool recycling, time resets). As a result, Bennetts removed onboarding handovers, made deployment audit data the easiest part of their lifecycle to extract, and significantly reduced manual effort and setup time by swapping scripted RM workflows for simple Octopus deployment steps.
