Internal, the internal tools development platform, today announced the results of a third-party survey of 500 US-based IT and engineering leaders regarding their views on internal tools and workflow development. The company also launched their all-in-one platform for internal tools, a comprehensive solution for custom app development, task management, and workflow automation on top of databases and APIs.

When it comes to internal tools, companies want an all-in-one solution that provides flexibility and customization for cross-company collaboration.

94% of IT and Engineering leaders want a more collaborative platform that would enable technical and non-technical users to build internal tools/workflows faster together
82% of IT and Engineering leaders say that a lack of true flexibility and customization within internal tool/workflow building software is a top driver of time spent on building and managing internal tools and workflows
91% of IT and Engineering leaders say that an internal tool/workflow platform that encompasses app building, workflow acceleration, and workflow automation would save their development teams time
"Teams are spending way too much time developing and maintaining internal tools. Imagine what they can do by freeing up 40% of their time," said Bob Remeika, Co-founder and CTO of Internal. "They need a more comprehensive solution that encompasses app building, workflow automation, and tasks – one that's flexible enough for technical and non-technical teams to contribute."

The New All-in-One Platform

With many teams juggling multiple systems and in-house development projects to meet their internal tooling needs, Internal has launched its new all-in-one platform to help teams streamline the development of internal tools and drastically reduce developer time spent. This, in return, allows IT and Engineering leaders to focus developer time on products that drive revenue and increase capacity.

In addition to empowering teams to build bespoke internal applications, workflows, tasks, and automations, the next generation platform marries an easy-to-use interface with advanced customization capabilities – making it the only platform where technical and non-technical teams can collaborate to build otherwise highly technical internal tools on top of databases and APIs.

Companies across various industries, including technology startups, manufacturing and distribution, and healthcare, are using Internal to solve these challenges.

"Developers are really expensive and developers solve important business problems. But, I didn't want our developers spending time on building Internal tools - I need them focused on building the product," said Ethan Kellough, Co-Founder and Chief Product Technology Officer, Highlight. "That's why no-code tools, like Internal, are great because we don't have to throw a bunch of money at reinventing a wheel that's been invented 1,000 times before."
