Case Study: Nortal accelerates design system adoption and multi-brand token management with Specify

Nortal standardizes design tokens across 3 workflows with Specify

Nortal, an agency serving healthcare institutions, governments, and leading businesses, faced challenges in standardizing design tokens across teams. Inconsistent naming conventions and a manual process for communicating tokens between their design system and product teams hindered their workflow. They turned to Specify and its design data API to address these issues.

By implementing Specify, Nortal automated the sync of design tokens from Figma to code, eliminating manual updates. The solution provided a centralized API that allowed client product teams to consume tokens in any required format, regardless of their technology stack. This capability enhanced Nortal's value proposition, helping them win more clients and gain adoption from technical teams. Specify also enabled a multi-brand, monorepo architecture, significantly speeding up their workflow and evolving the entire team's mindset towards component design and development.
