Some words from our lovely customers.
"Over the last 3 years, we've hired 10+ automations experts on Upwork and Sidetool has by far been the most knowledgeable and helpful out of everyone we have worked with. Sidetool is able to solve problems creatively, and think through solutions you would have never thought of. Also, most automation devs are only technically skilled, but Sidetool's wide business experience helps them understand the actual priorities and deliver a very useful product. Can't recommend them enough!!"
Automation Expert to Help Build Internal Systems (Influencer Marketing)

"I would say to HIRE SIDETOOL NOW!!! but selfishly, I don't want word to get out about the hidden gem that is Sidetool. Sidetool absolutely nailed our database project! I was hesitant due to the limited upwork history, but we took a risk and was absolutely rewarded. The team at Sidetool is highly competent in Airtable, database development, communication and the upwork platform. From the beginning, Sidetool took the time to truly understand our unique database requirements and outlined multiple proposals that would fit our needs and budget. They also outlined the timeline and data requirements. I was skeptical that they would be able to accomplish everything based on previous development experiences. The team not only met the timeline but also provided additional features that I didn't realize were possible. The team went above and beyond the initial scope of work to ensure the project would be a success. We have successfully launched our new Airtable database and I am already getting positive feedback from my team. Just this morning our data team lead said 'I really like the filtering in Airtable compared to the spreadsheet. sooo smooth.' I am already planning other software development projects for Sidetool to tackle."

"In the ever-evolving tech landscape, finding a developer who doesn’t just 'code' but truly partners with you to bring a vision to life is rare. That’s exactly what I found in Sidetool when we embarked on the journey to develop an MVP for our SAAS platform on Bubble.io. From the get-go, Sidetool was a beacon of professionalism and innovation. Their deep dives into the technicalities of Bubble.io development were not just about execution but also about understanding the 'why' behind every feature we envisioned. What sets Sidetool apart isn’t just their technical expertise, which is top-notch, but their remarkable dedication to client communication. They was always on hand, ready to discuss, debug, and deploy with with more generosity of time and spirit than the paycheck might command. This isn't just professionalism; it's passion. Sidetool possesses a rare blend of skills—they keen understanding of UI/UX design principles brings simplicity to complex processes, making them user-friendly and engaging. They integrated a series of sophisticated functionalities into our platform, from searchable databases to intricate API integrations, and each was implemented with precision and a view toward scalable, sustainable growth. But it’s not just about what Sidetool builds—it’s how they build it. Their approach to using technology not just as a tool, but as a bridge to greater business strategy, particularly through our affiliate program, has been enlightening. The ability to translate tech solutions into business growth is a golden trait that Sidetool brings to the table. Sidetool was investing in our project not just as developers, but as true stakeholders interested in our ultimate success. The final product? A beautifully designed, flawlessly functioning platform that didn’t just meet our expectations—it soared right past them. I can unreservedly say that Sidetool is one of the most capable and dedicated developer teams I've worked with. If you’re looking for someone who will take your project to heart and elevate it beyond mere technical specs, Sidetool is your team. Working with them is not just an investment in your project, but a partnership that fosters innovation and real results."

Welcome to the future with Sidetool
Hey everyone!
Welcome to a new era of software creation! As the media industry transformed with the rise of user-generated content, software is now evolving thanks to low-code platforms. This revolution means companies can create custom software internally without the hefty monthly fees for software that doesn’t fit their needs.
In the past, software development was technically complex, expensive, and controlled by a few big players. Companies had to adapt to the software rather than the other way around. But low-code platforms are changing the game. Now, businesses can build solutions quickly and affordably, tailored precisely to their needs.
As the internet democratized media creation and distribution, low-code democratized software development. This shift allows even non-professional developers to create robust applications, leading to the rise of a new creative class in the software industry. These low-code developers focus more on concept and creativity, producing software that tells a story, enhances experiences, and serves specific needs.
Low-code platforms not only enable companies to develop software that is adaptable and scalable, but they also provide a sense of freedom and flexibility. This means businesses can stay agile, respond swiftly to market changes and user demands, and feel in control of their software solutions. The cost savings are significant too. Instead of paying thousands of dollars each month for generic software, companies can invest in building and maintaining their custom solutions, ensuring long-term sustainability and control.
Moreover, this shift encourages more niche, personal, and localized software solutions and opens up a world of possibilities for innovation and diversity. This evolution promises a diverse and dynamic software ecosystem where innovation thrives, sparking excitement and hope for the future of software development.
So, get ready for the post-SaaS era, where software is not just rented but owned and crafted to fit your unique needs. Welcome to the future of custom, low-code software creation!
Welcome to the future with Sidetool.
Lets do this,
