UNRIVALED EXPERTISE

Our Talent Has Worked With Top Companies

Having previously worked with these leading global companies, our talent brings valuable insights and expertise to deliver world-class outcomes.

WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE US

Toptal in Action

Discover the cutting-edge benefits our clients enjoy with the global Toptal network.

Toptal cuts IoT system build times by 98% for leading car manufacturer.

Challenge: An automotive manufacturer was developing a complex IoT platform but faced organizational challenges that slowed progress. Disconnected development environments, fragmented source code management, and limited access to specialized talent made collaboration difficult and reduced operational efficiency.

Solution: Toptal streamlined the development process by consolidating source code repositories, improving build workflows, and introducing structured collaboration practices. These changes reduced complexity, strengthened coordination across teams, and established a more streamlined development environment. Toptal consolidated nearly 30 Git repositories into five, optimizing build processes and eliminating confusion to enhance workflow efficiency.

Outcome: The engagement reduced build times from two hours to two minutes while improving collaboration and development consistency. With stronger processes and better coordination in place, the organization was able to support ongoing platform development more effectively.
