🧠 The Problem
- Most companies get blindsided by overages - because they rely on:
- Static, delayed budget reports
- Manual exports from each cloud provider
- Poor visibility across teams and environments
They know what was spent - but not why or what's coming next.
*🚀 The Solution: * Retool-Powered Cloud Forecasting Dashboards
Using Retool, Widle builds customized internal apps that allow you to:
✅ Forecast monthly or quarterly spend using real-time usage trends
✅ Visualize projected overages for specific teams, projects, or services
✅ Map forecasts to tags, business units, or cost centers across AWS, Azure, and GCP
✅ Trigger alerts or Retool Workflows when thresholds are about to be exceeded
✅ Simulate impact of scaling decisions or service changes before implementation
🔗 No Data Movement Required
You can connect directly to your billing sources:
BigQuery (for GCP)
Athena (for AWS)

This means no redundant pipelines - just real-time querying on the data you already collect.
