Key Highlights

  • In this success story, OptiSol collaborated with a leading European retail firm to address challenges in converting UI/UX designs into front-end code, which resulted in delays, inconsistencies, and misaligned workflows.
  • The client’s manual process created inefficiencies in development cycles, led to inconsistent UI components, and placed a heavy burden on their development team. This caused longer time-to-market and increased technical debt, hindering their ability to adapt quickly to market demands.
  • OptiSol enhanced the client’s UI development process by implementing the iBEAM Design-to-Code framework. This solution enabled seamless design imports, automatic code generation in React, and smooth integration with their CI/CD pipeline, significantly improving development efficiency.
  • Our solution streamlined development, ensuring design consistency, reducing time-to-market, and enabling faster product rollouts.

Problem Statement

01

UI Update Delays: Retail enterprises faced delays in launching new campaigns and seasonal UI themes due to manual design-to-development workflows. Extensive collaboration between design, development, and QA teams stretched sprint cycles and reduced market agility.

02

Branding Inconsistencies: Disparities in design execution across distributed teams led to mismatched components, off-brand styling, and inconsistent UI behavior, undermining brand identity and increasing design QA and rework costs.

03

Scalability Issues: Delivering consistent UI experiences across web, mobile, and kiosk platforms required separate development efforts for each interface, hampering scalability and delaying unified feature rollouts.

04

Personalization Limitations: Traditional frontend development lacked agility to support real-time, personalized customer experiences. Manual coding for user-specific layouts and content variants consumed resources, limiting dynamic, data-driven interfaces.

Solution Overview

01

OptiSol partnered closely with the client’s design and development teams to optimize their UI development lifecycle by introducing our iBEAM Design-to-Code automation framework.

02

Our solution facilitated the seamless import of UI/UX designs from popular tools such as Figma and Adobe XD, enabling a high-fidelity translation of visual elements into standardized, reusable code components that aligned perfectly with the client’s existing design system.

03

Leveraging iBEAM’s intelligent component mapping and GenAI-powered code generation, we automated the production of clean, production-ready React code, dramatically accelerating the front-end development process and reducing manual coding errors.

04

The generated code was integrated directly into the client’s CI/CD pipeline, allowing for continuous deployment with minimal manual intervention, thereby supporting faster iteration cycles and seamless updates.

05

This collaboration laid the groundwork for a scalable, framework-agnostic solution that reduced the need for redundant front-end development efforts while ensuring greater consistency, maintainability, and faster time-to-market for future digital product releases.

About The Project

In this success story, OptiSol collaborated with a leading European retail enterprise to streamline their UI development process and overcome the challenges of fragmented design-to-development workflows. The client faced issues with inconsistent UI implementation and lengthy time-to-market due to manual front-end coding. To address these, OptiSol introduced iBEAM, our intelligent design-to-code automation framework. This innovative solution enabled seamless import of design assets from tools like Figma and Adobe XD, and automated the generation of production ready React code. The transformation empowered faster product rollouts, optimized resource allocation, and set the stage for a scalable, framework-agnostic development process, better suited to meet the dynamic needs of the retail market.

FAQs:

What is Design-to-Code?

Design-to-Code is the process of automatically converting UI/UX designs into production-ready code. This helps developers avoid repetitive manual coding and speeds up the development process.

How does Design-to-Code benefit the development team?

It accelerates the front-end development lifecycle, allowing developers to focus on core features and functionality, rather than spending time on repetitive design implementation tasks.

How does Design-to-Code improve collaboration between designers and developers?

It eliminates the need for manual handoffs, reducing miscommunication and errors. Designers can see their vision directly translated into functional code, while developers can ensure design fidelity is maintained in the final product.

Can Design-to-Code be integrated with existing workflows?

Yes, Design-to-Code tools can be seamlessly integrated with existing workflows, including CI/CD pipelines and version control systems, to ensure smooth deployment and continuous iteration.

Is Design-to-Code suitable for both small and large-scale projects?

Yes, Design-to-Code is flexible and scalable, making it suitable for both small and large-scale projects. Whether it’s a simple app or an enterprise-level solution, the process streamlines development and ensures consistency across the board.
