Case Study: Carrefour automates design token syncing with Specify

Carrefour synchronizes design tokens for 50 developers and 60 designers with Specify

Carrefour, a major global retailer, faced significant challenges in keeping their design system in sync. Their designers and developers struggled with communication, leading to out-of-sync design tokens and assets between Figma and the codebase. This manual, error-prone process hindered the efficiency of their 50 developers and 60 designers. They turned to Specify to automate the syncing of their design tokens and assets.

Using Specify, the team automated the entire workflow. Design tokens updated in Figma were automatically pulled into the codebase via the Specify CLI and distributed as NPM packages. This solution provided Carrefour with confidence, improved velocity, and eliminated the lengthy QA processes of the past. Specify enabled the team to update their design language more rapidly and efficiently, saving valuable time and allowing developers to focus on more business-critical tasks.
