Company mission
To set the standard in Salesforce DevOps to support every low-code team globally.
Our take
Established after its founders observed that DevOps prevented businesses from using Salesforce to its full potential, Gearset provides comprehensive DevOps solutions on a subscription-based platform. This allows teams to take full advantage of the Salesforce deployment engine.
Gearset differentiates itself by working closely with its users to build the best possible product. Their strategy is to use customer feedback in order to perfect its services - for example, customer feedback helped the company create a powerful platform that can handle complex ALM workflows.
Gearset revolutionised how companies like Tripadvisor, IBM, and Accenture ship the applications that power their businesses. In 2021, Gearset announced the opening of their U.S. headquarters in Chicago, and in 2022, they opened up their second UK location in Belfast. As well as being focused on this expansion, they are planning to significantly increase their workforce in the following period after raising $55 million in funding in 2022. The money will also be put towards expanding its product offering, especially sales and marketing functions.
