Case Study: Leading UK Pharmacy Retailer achieves 140% test environment productivity gain with Plutora

Leading Pharmacy Retailer in the UK Boosts Productivity with Plutora

The UK’s leading pharmacy‑led health and beauty retailer, with more than 2,500 stores, was hampered by siloed visibility, environment clashes and a lack of reliable project metrics. Reliance on complex spreadsheets and manual processes caused delays, production issues and poor governance across releases and test environments.

The Centralized Environment Management Services team implemented Plutora’s Release Management, Test Environment Management and Deployment Planning to provide a single source of truth, centralized bookings, unified scheduling and real‑time dashboards. The result: a 140% increase in test environment productivity, live visibility into releases and environments, reduced rework and environment contention, faster, more predictable releases, a £174,069 productivity gain and a 10‑month payback.
