Case Study: Karbon scales from 30 to 75+ integrations in a year with 80% less dev time using Prismatic
Key results
The challenge
Karbon's accounting practice-management platform serves customers across 45 countries who need dozens of integrations with industry tools. The engineering team spent about 20% of its resources on integrations, and each new one required four to six engineers working a full quarter, which did not scale.
The solution
Karbon adopted Prismatic to let non-technical team members such as product managers and regional teams build production-ready integrations alongside engineers, freeing core engineering for product work.
“Now, a couple weeks will pass by, and I'll learn about a new application that's been built by one of these folks and that it is fully capable and ready to go to market.”

The results, in context
Karbon grew from 30 to 75+ integrations in one year while spending about 80% less developer time on integrations and building them 4x faster. Simple integrations dropped from 4-6 weeks to 1-2 weeks and complex ones from 3-4 months to about four weeks.
