About OpenWrench

OpenWrench builds facility maintenance software for over 2,000 locations across the country. With a team of just 14, they handle everything from customer support to infrastructure, and cloud costs were falling through the cracks.

The Problem

With a small team stretched thin, cloud commitments kept getting deprioritized. It wasn't a crisis, just money left on the table with no one to pick it up.

Why Archera

AWS recommended Archera directly. What closed the deal was speed and simplicity: Archera's team got OpenWrench live fast, with minimal back-and-forth. For a team that can't afford another project to manage, that mattered.

"I felt like I had a good grasp of what the platform did right away. And you guys were very hands-on getting us up and running very quickly."
Vignesh Rajendran, CTO, OpenWrench

The Results

Since joining Archera in 2023, OpenWrench has saved over $54,000. But the bigger win is mental: the team no longer thinks about cloud costs at all.

"I don't want my team's bandwidth spent thinking about how we're going to cut costs. I want us focused on where we need to add revenue. Having someone like Archera helps us do both."
Vignesh Rajendran, CTO, OpenWrench

Their Philosophy

Right-size your infrastructure first. Then commit to what you know you'll run.

Don't buy the biggest instance and hope for the best. OpenWrench runs smaller instances at 50% utilization rather than massive ones at 15%. You spend less on things you don't actually need.
