How Spirex Infoways Cut Deployment Time From 2 Hours to Under 10 Minutes With CtrlOps

The Challenge

Spirex Infoways builds web apps, custom CRMs, and mobile apps for clients. Like most growing IT service companies, their infrastructure grew faster than their tooling did.

One tool, but one aaPanel per server. The team ran aaPanel across 6 servers. Every server needed its own aaPanel installation, its own login, and its own separate session. There was no shared view across the fleet, just six disconnected control panels doing the same job in isolation.

Server credentials lived in Notepad. IPs, usernames, and passwords were tracked in a plain-text file. Not a password manager, not a shared vault. A Notepad file that one person maintained and everyone else depended on.

One person carried the entire DevOps load. On a 9-person team, only one person understood the server setup well enough to manage it. Every deployment, every fix, every server-side change ran through him.

A single change meant repeating the same work six times. If a fix needed to go out across 2 or 3 projects, even a small one, it meant logging into each server separately, running the same script by hand, and doing it all over again for the next one. What should have been one change became three or four manual repeats.

"If I needed to change something in 3 places, that used to take 1.5 to 2 hours. Now it's under 10 minutes with CtrlOps."

The Turning Point

Prince found CtrlOps through a LinkedIn post. At the time, aaPanel was the only tool the team had ever used, so there wasn't much to compare it against directly. What stood out immediately was the AI Terminal.

For a team where only one person was confident touching production, an AI that could explain a command before it ran, and wait for approval before executing it, wasn't a nice-to-have. It was the missing piece that let the rest of the team start participating in server work without the fear of breaking something.

The Solution

CtrlOps replaced Spirex's six separate aaPanel logins with one screen, and replaced manual repetition with scripts that run once and apply everywhere.

One dashboard instead of six logins. All 6 servers are now visible and manageable from a single CtrlOps window. No more separate aaPanel installs, no more switching between 5 or 6 browser tabs per issue.

Scripts that run across every server, not just one. Instead of running the same fix manually on each server, Prince now writes it once in CtrlOps and runs it across multiple servers in a single pass. Work that used to mean repeating yourself four times now happens once.

One-click deployment replaced the manual release process. Deployments that used to involve multiple manual steps per server are now a single click, cutting release complexity dramatically for the whole team, not just the one person who used to own it.

The AI Terminal made critical commands safe to approve. Every command comes with a plain-English explanation of what it does before it runs. For commands that touch production, that context is what makes the team comfortable approving them, instead of blindly trusting or blindly avoiding them.

Local-first storage meant faster, and it felt safer. With everything running on the device instead of round-tripping through a cloud service, the team noticed it was simply faster day to day. Keeping data on one device, without routing it externally, also gave the team more confidence in using it on production systems.

"Mental load is basically gone. No more copying commands by hand. Release complexity is near zero. One person can manage multiple servers and the AI Terminal handles the rest. Running a script across multiple servers is just a daily routine now, not a project."

The Results

Since switching to CtrlOps, the change at Spirex Infoways has been immediate and measurable:

• Multi-server changes that took 1.5 to 2 hours now take under 10 minutes
• 6 servers managed from one dashboard, down from 6 separate aaPanel logins
• The one-person bottleneck is gone. Server work is no longer dependent on a single team member being available
• Workload dropped significantly on repetitive tasks like deployments and script execution across multiple servers

For Prince, the biggest shift wasn't just speed. It was that server management stopped feeling like a specialized, risky skill that only one person on the team could safely perform.

Who This Is For

Prince's take, based on running CtrlOps daily as a tech lead managing a multi-project, multi-server environment:

"This is built for IT service companies. Especially ones who are managing multiple servers across multiple clients."
