How FalconX cut internal tool dev time from 2 weeks to 2 days using ToolJet

FalconX is a digital asset trading platform tailored for institutional investors. With security, speed, and scalability at the core of its offering, the team needed internal tools to help backend teams manage operations without slowing down core product development.

To support rapid growth, FalconX began building internal tools for configuration management and operational workflows without involving front-end engineers or designers. That’s when they turned to ToolJet.

FalconX’s backend developers needed to move fast, but faced key hurdles:

• Building internal UIs with React.js consumed valuable frontend engineering time that could be better spent on customer-facing applications.
• Internal tools had to be deployed securely within FalconX’s private infrastructure.
• Relying just on design or frontend teams would slow down the speed of iterations.
• Even small tools could take roughly one sprint iteration to design, develop, and deploy, making them too costly in both time and effort.
• Engineers without frontend experience struggled to build and deploy internal applications easily.
• Competing tools like Retool involved complex paperwork, delayed onboarding, or lacked necessary compliance documentation.

ToolJet enabled FalconX to reduce development time while meeting strict internal compliance standards dramatically:

• Backend developers used the drag-and-drop builder to build UIs without touching HTML/CSS.
• Apps were deployed privately within FalconX’s secure environment, avoiding data exposure.
• Onboarding was frictionless with no lengthy contracts or external dependencies. 
• Real-time support ensured any blockers were resolved fast, keeping devs unblocked.

Top features that delivered value

• Version management: Run live and test versions in parallel, with one-click rollbacks.
• User management: Add/remove users flexibly, paying only for active usage.
• Compliance readiness: Compliance readiness (SOC2, pen test report delivered in 4–6 weeks).

FalconX rolled out three production-ready apps using ToolJet, transforming the way backend teams contributed to internal tooling.

In just weeks, they achieved:

• 15 developer days saved per app during initial build.
• 3+ hours saved weekly per app on updates and maintenance.
• Zero frontend or design effort required, freeing up teams for core initiatives.
• Fast iterations within 5 minutes of change-and-deploy cycles
• Flexible licensing: Cost efficiency by activating licenses only when developers are onboarded.
