Case Study: Fleetio cuts release captain time by 75% with Runway

Fleetio cuts release captain time by 75% with Runway

Fleetio, a fleet management software company, faced a significant challenge with its weekly mobile release process. As their team grew and reorganized, the manual, tribal-knowledge-dependent process became inconsistent and stressful. A single release captain would spend hours coordinating across tools and people, leading to inefficiencies and a high risk of human error. They needed a solution to add guardrails and consistency, which led them to the vendor Runway.

By implementing Runway's release management platform, Fleetio automated key steps like branch cuts and release tagging while maintaining necessary human checkpoints. The solution provided clear, visual scaffolding that made the process easy for any engineer to follow. This resulted in a 75% reduction in the time release captains spent per release, saving hundreds of developer hours annually. The team also achieved greater release velocity and significantly faster hotfix turnaround times.
