featuresWPP Enterprise Solutions is the business transformation operating unit of WPP, the global creative company headquartered in London. One of WPP's four strategic operating units, it brings together over 12,000 experts across 40+ markets, designing, building, and operating the growth systems powering global brands like IKEA, Ford, L'Oréal, and Nestlé. The company has partnered with Cognition to make AI-driven software delivery the foundation of how it builds for clients, with engineers across the UK and India working alongside Devin today.https://devin.ai/customers/wpp-enterprise-solutions
featuresThe proving ground for Devin was Halfords, the UK's leading provider of motoring and cycling products and services and a client of more than ten years. Facing a competitive renewal against a low-cost provider, WPP Enterprise Solutions put Devin to the test: rebuild Halfords' e-commerce platform on headless Salesforce Commerce Cloud. The project was fixed price with a twelve-week timeline, and the team deliberately estimated it the traditional way, without AI, to establish a clean baseline for measuring productivity gains.https://devin.ai/customers/wpp-enterprise-solutions
featuresThe results allowed WPP Enterprise Solutions to secure a three-year renewal that commits the team to a baseline delivery velocity per sprint, scoped using WPP's standard pre-AI estimates. WPP made a bet to staff the engagement with a leaner team while still overdelivering on contracted output, trusting Devin to fill the gap.https://devin.ai/customers/wpp-enterprise-solutions
featuresWe're excited to continue working with WPP Enterprise Solutions as they define what AI-native services delivery looks like at enterprise scale.
