Cloud cost management isn't just a finance problem anymore - it's a critical cross-functional challenge affecting DevOps, Finance, Engineering, and even Product teams. As companies adopt multicloud strategies (AWS, Azure, GCP), most realize:
Our cloud bills are high, but we don't know exactly why - or where to act.
At Widle, we solve this using Retool - building custom internal tools that connect, normalize, visualize, and alert you on cloud spending across platforms.
🧩 The Challenge
Enterprises often face:
- Fragmented billing data across providers
 - Non-unified service naming (e.g., S3 vs Azure Blob vs GCP Storage)
 - Unclear attribution of costs to teams/projects
 - No real-time forecasting or alerting for budget thresholds
 - Finance teams relying on manual spreadsheets & inconsistent reports
 
Retool-Powered Cloud Cost Tool - Widle
We use Retool's ability to connect to APIs, data warehouses, and cloud billing exports to create a unified cloud cost intelligence tool, fully customizable per client.
✅ Features We Build:
- Multicloud Spend Dashboard - Live dashboards pulling billing data from AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, and GCP Billing exports.
 - Standardized Service Mapping - Normalize costs by SKU/service type so you can compare similar workloads across clouds.
 - Real-Time Budget Monitoring - Alerts via Slack/Email when services or departments cross budget thresholds.
 - Cost Attribution by Tag/Team - Attribution by cost centers, tags, owners, and environments - all filterable in a Retool UI.
 - Custom Forecasting - Predict month-end costs based on daily usage trends and growth rate.
 - Linked Optimization Actions - We add buttons to trigger remediation: e.g., decommission idle resources or open a ticket for review.
 
🧠 Why Retool?
Traditional cloud cost tools are expensive, rigid, and not tailored to your business logic.
With Retool + Widle, you get:
- Custom views and logic built around your tagging conventions and org structure
 - No vendor lock-in - we integrate directly into your data warehouse or cloud billing export
 - Rapid delivery - Go from problem to working dashboard in 1–2 weeks, not months
