Case Study: Sage builds AI design tooling and brings design system docs into workflows with zeroheight

Sage speeds design system access 4x with zeroheight

Sage, a business management software company, faced the challenge of ensuring its design system documentation was used by its large, distributed team of over 150 designers and nearly 3,000 total staff. Despite having good documentation on zeroheight, the content was living outside of their workflow in tools like Figma and Microsoft Teams, leading to low consumption, inconsistent implementation, and a lack of a single source of truth.

By building on the zeroheight API, Sage integrated its design system documentation directly into the surfaces where teams already work. The solution included a custom Figma plugin for in-canvas guidance, a Microsoft Teams agent for conversational access, and a GitHub Action to make docs LLM-ready. This implementation by zeroheight saved teams an estimated 4x the time previously spent searching for documentation and is expanding to benefit nearly 3,000 employees, ensuring the design system is a dependable and active part of their workflow.
