## Meet Fi
Fi is revolutionizing pet safety. Their AI-powered GPS collar isn't just a tracker — it's a complete pet wellness platform monitoring location, activity, sleep, and behavioral patterns for millions of dogs worldwide.

For Fi, reliability isn't optional. It's life-saving. When a dog escapes, every second counts. The delta between detecting something and informing the customer must be instantaneous.

## The Challenge
> "Fi is entrusted with a really critical task: keeping your pets safe. The delta between our system detecting something and informing the customer should be almost instantaneous. Reliability amidst that is critical."

### The Pre-Pie Reality
- Manual testing slog
- Engineers spending 2-3 days locked in a room
- Inconsistent coverage
- Limited to core smoke tests only
- Velocity bottleneck
- Release cycle stretched from 1 day to 2-3 days
- Resource drain
- 12+ engineers on manual testing instead of development
- Edge case neglect

## The Solution
No architecture changes. No lengthy onboarding. Just results.

> "The way that Pie set up has allowed Fi to work alongside our development process. We didn't have to change how we did things."

### Pie in action at Fi
Every time Fi pushes code, Pie automatically springs into action. The setup now powers their daily releases:
- **Instant mapping**: Pie discovers features and adapts to UI changes without scripts
- **Custom flows in minutes**: QA team adds Fi-specific tests without weeks of automation work
- **Clear bug reports**: Slack notifications with screenshots and reproduction steps
- **Proactive detection**: Catches critical bugs manual testing never would find

## The Results

### 10x Faster Testing
Release validation reduced from 2-3 days to just a few hours

### 75% Less Manual Effort
From 12+ people on testing to one dedicated QA

### 24/7 Proactive Coverage
Catching critical edge cases before they impact customers

> "The time between having a release candidate ready and being fully tested has gone from two to three days to a few hours."

### Coverage that catches bugs
Pie doesn't just run the same old smoke tests faster — it discovers edge cases Fi never knew existed. The best part? Pie adapts to UI changes automatically. No brittle scripts. No maintenance headaches.

### Engineering team efficiency
By cutting out the all-hands testing grind, Fi reclaimed precious engineering hours and redirected that time toward building new features.

> "PieLabs has been one of these partnerships that really helped accelerate the team. As we scale our products and offerings it's really important to make sure we don't ship something that breaks the existing experience for our users. PieLabs has helped us elevate our level of confidence, and the speed at which we can release new products."
