A logistics company that ships to 190 countries built something to ship to itself.
Figma
What is Figma?
Figma is a browser-based design tool for building user interfaces, prototypes, and design systems. It runs entirely in the browser, which means designers, developers, and stakeholders can open the same file at once, see each other's cursors, and comment directly on the work. Founded in 2012, it has become one of the most widely adopted tools in product and UX design.
That real-time collaboration is the part that changed how teams work. Older desktop tools produced files that lived on one machine and got passed around as exports. In Figma the file is the single source of truth, so a designer can revise a screen while a developer inspects the same frame and pulls CSS, dimensions, and assets from it. The core toolkit covers vector editing, component libraries, auto-layout, and interactive prototyping with states and transitions. A product team can run a usability test on a clickable prototype in the morning and ship the refined component the same week, all from one file.
Figma also extends through plugins and integrations that connect it to the rest of the product stack, from project management to version control to accessibility checks. That openness is part of why it sits at the centre of so many cross-functional teams rather than only on a designer's screen.
Figma at Dallonses
Figma is where our design and engineering work meets in the open. A screen does not get tossed over a wall as a flat export. Designers build it with components and auto-layout, developers inspect the same file, and questions get answered in comments next to the pixels in question. That closes the gap where most design intent usually leaks out.
It is also where our design systems live. We use Figma to keep UX and UI design consistent across a product, with shared component libraries that map cleanly to the code we write. For clients, that means the thing approved in design is the thing that gets built, and the branding holds together as the product grows.
Have a product where design and code keep drifting apart? Let's close that gap.
