Case Study: Total Wine & More achieves secure, controlled feature rollouts and faster rollbacks with Unleash Enterprise

How Total Wine & More blended security with experimentation, on its own terms

Total Wine & More, a large U.S. alcohol retailer with 230 stores, faced slow, risky feature releases across three React Native store apps: features required new client releases, rollbacks were cumbersome, and long-lived "program branches" caused merge conflicts and integration problems. To address security and central control requirements, they chose Unleash and adopted Unleash Enterprise.

By deploying Unleash Enterprise (self-hosted) and using the Admin Console, SSO, scalable proxies and project-level environments, Total Wine & More now performs targeted rollouts to subsets of stores, toggles or kills features quickly, and rolls back without waiting for major releases. Unleash has cut reliance on brittle spreadsheets and deployment workarounds, significantly improved mean time to recovery, and is enabling plans for A/B testing and the elimination of long-lived program branches.
