Internal-tools builds fall into three shapes. SaaS-augment layers on top of Retool, Airtable, or similar (when a low-code platform almost-fits and we customize the gap) run $10,000–$30,000 over 3–6 weeks. Bespoke single-purpose tools (one workflow, polished, tuned to operator behavior) run $25,000–$70,000 over 6–12 weeks. Multi-module internal platforms (admin + field + reporting + integration layer) run $70,000–$180,000 over 4–9 months.
Every engagement starts with a discovery sprint where we instrument your team’s current workflow — what tasks consume the most operator time, what tasks are most error-prone, what tasks block downstream work. Build scope follows from data, not from a wish list.
