Unifying multiple design systems

The Challenge

The global leader in home improvement retail was struggling with a rigid system that only supported their “.com” product and was difficult to update. They were also using fragmented tools to support their other properties, which meant a disconnect between product and marketing.

Approach

This Fortune 500 company used Knapsack to build a flexible, core system that would power their full ecosystem of products and brands. They used Knapsack’s customizable workspace and developer tools to quickly rollout a new system and begin implementing changes.

Results

Accelerated feature speed-to-market 15% with a Knapsack-powered system, saving $1M+ annually.

Recent project shipped in 6 months vs. estimated 12 months (50% improvement in efficiency)

Widespread adoption with 1000+ team members using the system

Unified design system being used by product, brand and marketing

Knapsack has become an integral and central part of our production process for both front-end developers and product owners...and it keeps getting better.
