Overview

Flex-N-Gate is a global automotive manufacturer supporting over 10,000 endpoints across 80 facilities. The IT team faced mounting infrastructure and maintenance costs tied to its previous on-premise endpoint management tool that required physical distribution of servers at every facility and a resource-intensive central SQL server.

From managing shop floor dashboards and production equipment to supporting specialized software across geographically dispersed sites, Flex-N-Gate’s IT team had to ensure secure, uninterrupted access to critical systems. In a manufacturing environment where even minor delays can disrupt production timelines, the lack of a consistent and reliable remote access solution posed significant operational risks. The team needed a unified endpoint management platform that could keep pace with Flex-N-Gate’s scale.

Seamless Deployment on a Global Scale

When Flex-N-Gate began evaluating alternatives, NinjaOne stood out as a clear choice. “NinjaOne checked every box we were looking for,” said Matt Bloye, Corporate IT Administrator at Flex-N-Gate.

Facing a tight migration window, the team fully deployed NinjaOne in under two weeks—migrating its first 8,000 endpoints in just the first few days. “There was no downtime, and everything went smoothly,” said Bloye. “We had everyone enrolled, accounts created, and training delivered while the agent deployed in the background. It just worked.”

Six-Figure Savings Through Modernization

Flex-N-Gate estimates they’re saving more than $100,000 annually after eliminating its on-prem previous endpoint tool. “Between Microsoft SQL licensing, hardware costs, and the time spent maintaining everything, the savings are significant,” Bloye shared. “Not having to deal with upgrade issues and downtime has been a huge relief.”

Unified Remote Access, Global Impact

“NinjaOne Remote has allowed Flex-N-Gate to consolidate tools and standardize how their IT team connects to devices worldwide. “NinjaOne Remote has transformed how we support our global operations,” said Bloye.

“We’ve eliminated the patchwork of third-party tools, improved security, and gained fast, reliable access to every system—whether it’s a shop-floor dashboard or a specialized workstation halfway around the world.”
