MTX manages hundreds of Salesforce projects with Gearset
MTX works with companies across all sectors, solving clients’ technological challenges with robust solutions. To date, MTX has implemented 1000+ digital transformation projects across over 35 US states, helping clients achieve long-term strategies and modernization goals.
Jonathan Ward (Vice President of Global Services) describes how MTX leveled up their development process by partnering with Gearset to deliver fast and reliable solutions for their clients.
Fragmented processes created governance challenges
The MTX team ensures that hundreds of projects are developed and deployed consistently. But in the past, new projects often meant teams working in silos — using different source control repositories with no way to ensure consistent governance across the board.
As their workload expanded, the team began using PMD and other free tools to perform static code analysis and enforce standards, but found they lacked the flexibility and customization they needed.
With a growing portfolio of projects and a team spread out internationally, MTX recognized the need for a single solution that could bring together a standardized process with an overview of security vulnerabilities, team performance, and governance.
Scaling with confidence using Gearset
To find a reliable, scalable, and consistent process that met the demands of their clients, MTX turned to Gearset and established a partnership that quickly became a core part of their project delivery method.
As a large team with 85 Gearset users, it was important to MTX to have an agile, repeatable process that could scale, both for their consultancy work and also within their own Salesforce instances.
“We now have defined standards to follow, increasing our productivity, and eliminating a lot of tech debt with this simple proactive approach.”
Jonathan Ward, Vice President of Global Services
With so many customers using Salesforce for their internal projects, MTX was focused on optimizing the pace of delivery and maintaining high standards. Gearset’s fast onboarding, adaptable licences, and responsive support helped the team to quickly streamline their release management pipelines. In just one project, over 30 developers were able to start using Gearset in a few days.
A single solution for DevOps success
MTX works to improve efficiency and modernize Salesforce processes for their clients — and the most effective way to do this is by implementing DevOps. With Gearset, MTX’s team has a trusted, scalable solution that can help their clients reach DevOps maturity, no matter what their team’s set up is.
Gearset’s comprehensive suite of tools enables MTX to address multiple client challenges through a single platform — including data backup and recovery, test automation, and security scanning. This integrated approach allows MTX to streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, and deliver scalable, future-ready solutions for their clients.
“Partnering with a product like Gearset really exemplifies what it means for us to be trusted advisors.”

By partnering with Gearset, MTX not only supports their customers in embracing modern DevOps practices but also ensures they’re equipped with the tools needed to scale operations and achieve long-term success.
Seamless integration that delivers consistent quality
MTX builds strong foundations for every project by addressing potential challenges early in the development cycle, shifting left with testing and checking the quality of development as early as possible. From the start of their DevOps journey, it was clear that Gearset’s Code reviews (powered by Clayton) was a perfect fit for this approach — a turnkey tool that enables high-precision code analysis and testing for over 100 platform best practices.
As part of Gearset’s end-to-end DevOps solution, Code reviews’ security protocols ensure standards are enforced at every step and work seamlessly with real-time monitoring of every code change. For the team at MTX, this has been a powerful combination that allows users to correct problematic code quickly and automatically. Alerting developers to potential errors so that issues are resolved before they escalate into larger problems.
With Code reviews in place, MTX achieved consistent code quality across the board — providing clients with actionable security reports and greater confidence in their project’s security measures.
Using Gearset’s Pipelines, MTX has successfully implemented a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) model across the majority of their projects, with seamless support from Code reviews. This allows their team to focus on delivering exceptional results for their clients while maintaining the highest standards of security and efficiency.
Sustainable success with a trusted partner
Gearset’s partnership with MTX goes beyond just implementing a suite of solutions — it’s a collaborative relationship built on a commitment to continuous improvement. This foundation empowers MTX to confidently manage complex internal projects while continuously delivering high-quality results, backed by regular guidance from Gearset’s Customer Success team and DevOps Architects, and responsive, knowledgeable support whenever they need it.
Through this partnership, MTX and Gearset are paving the way for constantly improving DevOps solutions.
