Case Study: Global Freight Solutions accelerates deployments with Weaveworks GitOps

Global Freight Solutions - Customer Case Study

Global Freight Solutions (GFS), the UK’s biggest provider of multi-carrier eCommerce delivery solutions, needed a faster and more reliable way to manage deployments as its platform grew. The team struggled with slow, manual releases, complex Azure DevOps pipelines, fragmented cluster configuration, and concerns about secure authentication and direct cluster access.

Weaveworks implemented GitOps to automate GFS’s cluster configuration and deployment across environments, using Git repositories as the source of truth and reducing the need for direct cluster access. With Weaveworks GitOps, GFS achieved 75% faster deployments and release cadence, 75% higher developer productivity, and a 90% reduction in operational overhead, while also improving visibility, reproducibility, and auditability.
