Case Study: Dashlane achieves smoother, automated design token handovers with Specify

Driving smooth and automated handovers at Dashlane

Dashlane, a password manager serving over 20k companies, faced significant challenges in maintaining UI consistency across its platforms. Before using Specify, their young design system team struggled with manual handovers of design tokens from Figma to engineers. This process created bottlenecks, inconsistencies, and confusion over responsibilities, making it difficult to keep their product's design cohesive and updated.

By implementing Specify as an intermediary platform, Dashlane automated the handover of design tokens for colors, typography, icons, and timings. Specify provided a single source of truth, clarifying ownership so designers were responsible for tokens until they were uploaded and engineers were responsible after. This solution saved the team significant time, eliminated manual errors, and gave everyone confidence that the designs in Figma would be implemented correctly in production.
