Case Study: a Fortune 500 retail company achieves 20% efficiency gains with Knapsack

Knapsack enables the world’s most colorful company in 90 days

A Fortune 500 retail company, a leader in the paint and coatings industry, struggled with a complex ecosystem of its 12 global brands, which led to wasteful spending and manual, redundant design practices. Faced with a tight budget, they chose to partner with Knapsack to adopt a strategic design systems approach rather than invest heavily in additional staff.

Knapsack implemented its all-in-one design system platform, launching a new design system site with token-based styling in just 45 days. This solution delivered a 20% efficiency gain, over $1 million in projected annual savings by avoiding new hires, and accelerated roadmap execution by five times, achieving significant value within 90 days.
