WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE US

Toptal in Action

Discover the cutting-edge benefits our clients enjoy globally from the Toptal network.

Global CPG firm aligns brands to elevate customer journey.

Challenge: A global pet care brand was proud to offer a diverse array of products for pets of all kinds, but many of the featured brands had inconsistent customer experiences, so this company was falling behind competitors with more innovative D2C products and a stronger digital presence.

Impact: After gathering information from real pet owners, Toptal experts used the data to better understand, evaluate, and redefine the company’s ideal customer journey, allowing for aligned customer experiences across a dozen of the client’s brands. This led to the adoption of a five-year plan designed to enable better experiences for pets and their parents—a mission already underway to help the company realize up to $320 million in growth.

Toptal is my strategic partner of choice. The Toptal team brought my vision to life and achieved more in two days than we have in months.
