## What the story says

Pepper Content replaced a homegrown operations portal and Zoho CRM workflow with a Retool app to evaluate and onboard freelance creators. Reviewers see applicants and work samples in one table, rate them, and send acceptance or rejection communications directly from Retool, with results updating the database automatically.
