Case Study: DigiSavvy achieves 50+ hours/month time savings and reduced maintenance costs with Pantheon Autopilot

Innovative web marketing agency saves time and money by automating WordPress updates for its customers

DigiSavvy is a small WordPress development and digital marketing agency that builds customized marketing sites for clients ranging from startups to enterprises. Maintaining roughly 100 client sites was labor‑intensive and costly—taking nearly 50 hours per month for manual updates, testing, and premium plugin management—and posed risks for downtime and regulatory compliance, so the agency needed to reduce maintenance overhead without cutting service or adding staff.

DigiSavvy implemented Pantheon Autopilot with its Dev‑Test‑Live workflow, Terminus/Quicksilver integrations, Multidev, and automated Visual Regression Testing to perform dependency‑aware updates, QA, and controlled deployments. The automation saved more than 50 labor hours per month, lowered upgrade costs, freed the team to focus on higher‑value projects, improved security and compliance, and helped the agency grow its client base without hiring additional developers.
