Bold Tech was an exceptional resource in helping us implement Retool for our organization’s compensation planning process. Bold Tech was available to troubleshoot and resolve issues at a moment’s notice, which was very comforting during a highly stressful and busy time for our organization. The Bold Tech team were a pleasure to work with and I sincerely hope I get the opportunity to collaborate with them again in the future!

The team at Bold Tech was a fantastic resource in helping us utilize Retool to visualize our product data and understand engagement.
They were a true partner in listening to our needs and being open about making recommendations. They would quickly iterate and enhance based on feedback and troubleshoot and resolve issues as they came up.They were knowledgeable about the Retool roadmap and helped us understand how to leverage new features like Workflows.
As we built out our BI function, it was comforting to know Bold Tech was a reliable partner, and I would use them again in the future!

Bold Tech were the right fit for TVadSync to accelerate our use of Retool platform. We had both user experience design needs as well as back end data design needs that were quickly resolved by the team. We will be using them for all Retool app development moving forward. Highly recommended.

Airtable and Google Sheets are great no-code options for small datasets, but they have their limitations. We discuss what the main ones are, and why a SQL database might be a better option.
Retool database is the newest addition to the Retool development suite. Built on PostgreSQL, it's a database with the power of SQL but an interface as simple as a spreadsheet. In this post, we discuss its best use cases.
We build internal tools, fast.
