Retool

Retool is a low-code platform that dramatically speeds up building internal tools — the dashboards, admin panels, and operational apps that companies need to run their business. Every organisation needs internal software to manage operations, support customers, and work with their data, but building these tools from scratch consumes valuable engineering time on interfaces that users will never see externally. Retool lets developers build them far faster by dragging together pre-built UI components and connecting them to databases and APIs, turning what could be weeks of work into hours or days.

The platform provides a rich library of components — tables, forms, charts, buttons, and more — that developers assemble visually, then wire up to virtually any data source, whether databases, internal APIs, or third-party services. Because it handles the tedious parts of building an interface while still allowing custom code where needed, it hits a sweet spot for developers who want speed without sacrificing flexibility and power. The result is robust internal tools built quickly, with the ability to connect to and act on the company's real data and systems, all maintainable and extensible as needs change.

Retool is used by developers and technical teams at companies of all sizes who need to build internal tools efficiently. The value is enormous time savings on essential but undifferentiated work: instead of pouring engineering effort into building admin panels and operational dashboards from scratch, teams assemble them quickly in Retool and redirect that time to their core product. Because internal tools are constantly needed and constantly evolving, the cumulative time saved is substantial. For engineering teams that want to give their operations, support, and business colleagues the custom tools they need without it becoming a major drain on development resources, Retool provides a powerful, developer-friendly way to build internal software at a fraction of the usual cost and effort.
