Case Study: Homebase achieves secure Zero Trust access and 90% faster client onboarding with Twingate

How Homebase empowers over 100,000 small businesses with a global workforce using Twingate

Homebase, a San Francisco–based SaaS provider used by over 100,000 small businesses, faced mounting challenges as its engineering teams went global: an OpenVPN setup that was slow and unreliable for distributed users, a 30‑minute, 15‑step onboarding process for new developers, and risky public VPN gateways that gave overly broad network access. To address these issues they evaluated options and turned to Twingate’s Zero Trust remote‑access service to replace their legacy VPN.

Twingate deployed a fully managed Zero Trust solution that removed public VPN gateways, automated IdP‑based access (Okta), and made client provisioning instantaneous. The switch cut client setup time by 90%, reduced system deployment time by 85% (deployment dropped from over a week to under a day), eliminated ongoing VPN maintenance, and allowed Homebase to migrate its entire development team in weeks—delivering measurable security, time‑savings, and cost benefits.
