Questions
Internal Tools & Dashboards, answered
Is a low-code tool good enough for real internal software?
For internal use, usually yes, and it is far cheaper to build and change. The limits appear at complex permissions, heavy custom interaction and high user counts where per-seat pricing stops making sense. We will tell you when you have crossed that line rather than defaulting every internal tool onto one platform because it is convenient for us.
We already have the data. Why is a dashboard hard?
The hard part is agreeing on definitions. Two people rarely mean the same thing by active customer or revenue for the month, and each department has a slightly different version. Most of the work is settling those definitions and writing them down. The chart is the easy part.
