From merged code to production

  1. Merged change

    • Automated mobile build

  2. Development

    • Deployed automatically

  3. Staging

    • Checked before release

  4. Production

    • Released to tenants
Kuan replaced manual release steps with automated CI/CD across development, staging, and production, so mobile releases stayed repeatable as the team and its customers grew.

“Kuan was able to quickly and effectively respond to the requests of our customers as well as identify their potential needs even before they were apparent.”

Andy MacDonald Director of Engineering, VTS (formerly Lane)

Operating problem

Rapid product growth made mobile release infrastructure, deployment confidence, and delivery workflow reliability commercially important.

What changed

Release and product delivery paths were made more operable so the team could ship with less friction and more confidence.

System scope

  • Mobile build and release workflow architecture
  • Product delivery infrastructure and deployment automation
  • Engineering process support for a scaling product organization
  • Production constraints for real estate customers and tenant workflows

Technical constraints

  • Make mobile builds and releases repeatable while the product organization and customer footprint were scaling.
  • Replace manual release steps with automated CI/CD for development, staging, and production.
  • Keep delivery workflows durable across team changes rather than relying on one operator's local setup.

Evidence

Lane's tenant-experience platform was deployed in portfolios including Colliers and Tishman Speyer.
VTS acquired Lane for $200 million in 2021.
