In his guest post, Dryden Williams, co-founder of EcoPing, outlines how the company transitioned from using a homegrown admin panel to adopting Retool to enhance their product development efficiency. EcoPing initially relied on MongoDB and an internal API to manage customer data and website carbon emissions metrics, but found these systems cumbersome and time-consuming, detracting from their core mission of reducing digital carbon footprints. By switching to PostgreSQL and implementing Retool, EcoPing streamlined its operations, allowing easier data management and faster deployment of features. Retool's integration capabilities and user-friendly interface enabled the team to quickly replace much of their internal infrastructure, leading to more efficient internal workflows and freeing up time to focus on customer engagement and further development of tools aimed at minimizing website carbon emissions.
