IOTAI builds custom Retool internal tools for Australian SMEs, typically delivered in 2-4 weeks with fixed-price quotes from $5,000 for simple dashboards to $25,000 for complex multi-page applications. Clients use them to replace spreadsheet workflows and manual admin with database-backed tools — across IOTAI client projects, a typical Retool build costs around $8K compared with $50K+ for traditional development.
