Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Retool and ThePowerMBA, not ours.

> Now, using Retool, the dashboard instantly generates reports on an ongoing basis that are accurate and up to date—no more errors from manual data processing.

- **4 to 5 days**: “The whole process took 4 to 5 days to complete, during which Gonzalo would generate a CSV, upload it to Google Sheets, and create visualizations from the spreadsheet.”
- **20 payment providers**: “So the development team created a payment gateway to integrate more than 20 payment providers, sending the orders to MongoDB—but he still faced one problem: “I wasn’t able to show visualization of revenue to our team.””
