Field requests
Your product or other non-technical team members request a feature or application to be built. This may replace repetitive processes or create new opportunities.
We save your engineers the hassle and create great internal tools for your team, fast. We build on platforms like Retool to deliver the best applications in a fraction of the time.
As domain experts, we have deep knowledge of their abilities and limitations, best practices and advanced features as internal tool domain experts.
We work with all kinds of businesses, from SMEs to fast-growing start-ups and even enterprise tech companies. Read what just some of our clients are saying:
At Bold Tech, our process is designed to ensure that we work closely with our clients every step of the way to deliver high-quality internal apps that optimize their unique processes.
We are more than just development for your internal tools, we provide a backbone for your internal operations.
Here's how a typical development cycle might look:
Your product or other non-technical team members request a feature or application to be built. This may replace repetitive processes or create new opportunities.
We advise on the feasibility and appropriateness of this feature or tool, and contextualize the technical elements for the non-technical team.
We interface with your engineering team to discuss and arrange dependencies & resources needed to fulfill the app's requirements.
We create iterations of the application or feature and interface with the end-user team for UAT testing before launch. We take care of the entire process, so you can focus on your core product.
Once launched, we continue iterating to improve usability and performance, as well as maintaining the environment to ensure smooth continuous deployment.
Internal tools are any kind of app that is only internal-facing to your company. So any kind of tool, script, or application that your employees are interfacing with to do their jobs (your admin dashboards, data management panels and more) but not something your clients and customers would see.
Internal tools are relatively under-celebrated in the engineering sphere, but they can be just as important as your core product if it means saving your employees’ precious time by streamlining key tasks and processes. Nevertheless, building internal tools can put strain on your engineering resources, and that’s where we come in to help them out!
We believe in leveraging the power of developer tools like Retool to build your apps faster. We find that no-code platforms aren’t sufficient for most internal apps and business processes. That’s why we use developer tools, which package the power of code into a fast, extensible way to build.
At Bold Tech, we specialize in building internal tools with developer tools like Retool. Developer tools are a special type of platform in the low-code sphere: rather than focusing on simplifying development for non-technical builders, they instead focus on simplifying repetitive coding and UI elements for engineers themselves. This means that developers can use their coding skills to create highly customized apps, without needing to code every single part of them.
This is becoming an increasingly attractive way for developers to build and at Bold Tech, we use these platforms because it means we can create fully personalized apps for our clients in a fraction of the time it takes to custom code.
We don’t just focus simply on project completion, we aim to be your center of excellence for internal tools. We invest time into understanding your company’s teams and exactly how they work to ensure we can give the best advice, as well as innovating on and growing your infrastructure.
We pride ourselves in our care and attention to our clients, learning the ins and outs of their internal processes to become a true partner in helping their teams work better. For this reason, we prefer to work on a monthly basis with longer-term contracts.
Yes. We offer project-based work for well-scoped projects, or short-term contracts for companies looking for a specific scope to be completed.
Coding from scratch can take a long, long time and be quite expensive. And with the speed at which companies’ and start-ups’ needs are evolving, it doesn’t make sense to lose all this time on traditional code. On the other hand, low-code platforms can be limited, particularly the ones that over-simplify coding elements for non-developers.
Nevertheless, so-called ‘developer tools’ are effectively a low-code solution, in that they reduce the amount of code needed to build, but they are highly customizable with as much code as you choose to include. On some platforms, we find that you can build equally scalable tools as with traditional custom code. That’s why we are very selective about the platforms we build on, so that we can avoid the dead end of limited products.
Yes! Retool in particular is built for scale. We have clients with hundreds of users and elaborate combinations of data and resources. Their pricing model allows you to differentiate between end users and builders to make it more affordable too. If you’re unsure it will meet your scope, get in touch to discuss your project with us.
