Case Study: Guestline saves 2,000 hours per release using Tenants in Octopus Cloud

Key results

The challenge

Guestline provides hotel operations software, including EPOS software running on desktops and tablets across over 800 hotels. The team deployed manually by copying code onto each machine in person, and estimated that rolling out a single minor update to all customers' EPOS machines would take over 2,800 hours and around 350 days at an estimated US$25,500.

The solution

Guestline was an early adopter of Octopus Cloud and used the built-in Tenants feature to automate updates across its large customer base, separating its cloud EPOS deployments from its on-premises Octopus use.

The results, in context

Using Tenants in Octopus Cloud, Guestline saves an estimated 2,000 hours per release compared with its previous manual process, which it estimated at over 2,800 hours and around 350 days at roughly US$25,500 per rollout. Automation let the team deliver frequent, consistent updates across over 800 hotels.
