BlueFinch Introducing BlueFinch Patch: Updates Without the Drama Posted on 8th April, 2025 Patch day, without the panic Patch days have long been a productivity killer. They burn dev time, delay roadmap work, and cause unnecessary friction for agencies and merchants alike. At GENE, we’ve seen first-hand how much time is lost on every patch cycle – hours of manual checks, rushed fixes, and unexpected compatibility issues. So we built a solution. Under our partner company, we created BlueFinch Patch. What is BlueFinch Patch? BlueFinch Patch is a SaaS tool that automates the most frustrating parts of the Magento patching process. It connects directly to your GitHub, scans your codebase, checks for compatibility, and builds a pull request for the latest patch or upgrade – all within a few minutes. It’s built for agencies, developers, and merchants who want to stay secure and supported without tying up engineering time on repeatable manual work. Why GitHub integration is essential By working directly with GitHub, Patch can run scans across all your repositories – whether you manage three clients or thirty. From there, it automatically checks the code against the latest Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source patch, flags compatibility issues, and builds a PR that’s ready to review. This means your team stays in control, but the heavy lifting is already done. No switching between tools. No missed steps. No spreadsheets. How agencies are already using it During our soft launch, we rolled Patch out to a small group of partners, many of whom had previously seen it in action at events like Hyvä Developers Paradise, Adobe Summit and Meet Magento France. The feedback has been consistent: This saves time. A lot of time. Goal achieved. One agency ran Patch across 20 client sites in a single week. What would’ve taken two days per repo was reduced to minutes. They now schedule patch scans in advance, monitor progress in the dashboard, and let their devs focus on roadmap work instead of patch maintenance. Time saved, client trust gained For most agencies, patching a single repo manually takes a day, often two. With BlueFinch Patch, the scan, compatibility check and PR build take less than five minutes. That’s hours back for your team. Hours you can spend delivering strategic work. Hours your clients won’t be billed for reactive firefighting. It also means greater consistency, fewer missed patches, and a smoother experience across every client you support. Built for both Open Source and Commerce BlueFinch Patch supports both Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source, with early access to new patch releases via Adobe’s partner program. It handles multi-repo environments and flags outdated or conflicting modules across your estate – even surfacing recurring offenders to help reduce technical debt over time. Whether you’re managing small merchant sites or full-scale enterprise builds, Patch gives you visibility and control. Try it now. Patch is live now, and to mark the launch, all plans are 30% off until close of business Friday 11 April. View Patch Plans & Pricing
