Case Study: Leatherman Tool Group builds a company-wide builder culture with Replit

Leatherman Tool Group publishes 119+ apps in 6 months with Replit

Leatherman Tool Group faced a challenge where internal demand for custom software tools was outpacing the capacity of its centralized IT team. This bottleneck caused significant delays, leading employees to resort to workarounds like spreadsheets or abandon other complex platforms. Their goal was to find a way to quickly get ideas off the whiteboard and into the hands of the employees who needed them.

By implementing Replit, Leatherman empowered its employees to build their own solutions. This led to the creation of over 119 apps in under six months, fostering a new builder culture that broke down departmental silos. The results included 147 active employees on the platform and ideas that once took months now being deployed in weeks. Replit enabled the company to leverage its own workforce to build tools that fit their business needs perfectly.
