Case Study: Starbucks achieves consistent, scalable design systems with NearForm

Starbucks saves hundreds of engineering hours with NearForm

The customer Starbucks faced a challenge in maintaining a consistent design language and branding across its many teams and projects. To address this, the vendor NearForm was engaged to create a centralized, editable style guide using React.js to serve as a single source of truth.

NearForm implemented a solution by first auditing existing inconsistencies. They then used React to create standardized, abstracted APIs for UI components, resulting in a clean and easy-to-use developer interface. This scalable style guide simplified the code base, saved hundreds of hours in engineering effort, and ensured uniformity across all teams. The solution was so successful that its use expanded beyond the initial teams to include other projects and vendors.
