“The long-term success of most businesses depends on engineering excellence–but historically, software development has been a black box,” says CEO Bryan Helmkamp. “In a world that is becoming increasingly software-dependent, we need objective, actionable insights to measure and improve how the engineering department works.”
Two years ago, Code Climate launched Velocity, an Engineering Intelligence solution that delivers deep insights for every level of the organization. Managers are empowered to diagnose and action process improvements with their teams, while executives get high-level insights into how the department is progressing. Customers like Gusto, BBC, and Condé Nast report that Velocity enables them to ship software 20% faster, driving innovation and accelerating digital transformation. Propelled by these results, Velocity revenue has grown over 300% in the past year.

Engineering work can then be more directly tied to important business initiatives, like driving top-line revenue growth and increasing customer engagement.
