The challenge

As Brex scaled its corporate card and expense management products, engineering teams needed to ship internal dashboards, transaction reviewers, and account management tools without large amounts of custom code.

The solution

Brex adopted Retool to build internal tools, including a Template Manager and a transaction simulator, reducing the code required for common tasks such as shipping notifications.

Retool has been part of the Brex growth story.
