Types of internal tools
Admin Panels
Enable users to perform quick actions such as managing transactions and sending messages to customer groups. They integrate with third-party connectors, SaaS services, and transaction management applications.
Dashboards
Allow customized visualization of data from multiple sources. They are used to perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) in a company's databases by non-technical users. Examples include KPI management dashboards, business analytics, and procurement management.
CRM
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software is used to manage interactions with customers. It allows for managing user and prospect contact data, identifying qualified leads, tracking service requests, and managing marketing campaigns in one place.
CMS
Content Management Systems (CMS) enable the management of blog posts, videos, and image content for websites. Users can create, manage, modify, and publish content through user-friendly interfaces provided by CMS applications.
Inventory Management
Assist in tracking inventory and maintaining optimal quantities. These tools include equipment checkout and payment systems, as well as inventory management tools to determine when to reorder, sell excess inventory, and reduce waste.
Workflow Management Tools
Different organizations have different workflows that require customized tools to manage and automate daily processes, thereby improving workflow within teams. For example, HR teams use reimbursement approval applications to track employee reimbursements and manage payments.
