Introduction: Why Internal Tools Matter More Than Ever
Most companies don’t fail because of a lack of ideas.
They fail because their internal operations don’t scale.
Processes are buried in email threads.
Teams juggle Excel sheets that break every week.
Approval flows depend on who remembers to reply first.
Knowledge gets lost between tools, people, and departments.
This is the reality we see daily at Sharobella.
After helping over 100 companies — from niche retailers to global FMCG groups — we realized something simple:
Great companies don’t just build products. They build great internal systems.
This is why, in 2024, we became an official Base44 partner in Austria.
Why We Chose Base44
There are many low-code tools in the market, and we’ve tested most of them.
Base44 managed to feel different — not just technically, but strategically.
It offers the ease of a no-code builder with the seriousness of a production-ready platform.
You can start small and scale without rebuilding everything.
And now that Wix has acquired Base44, the long-term roadmap is stronger than ever.
But the key reason is this:
Base44 allows us to turn messy business processes into clear, structured, automated systems — in weeks, not months.
We use it to build internal tools, back-office systems, MVPs, and AI-assisted workflows.
It integrates beautifully with n8n, external APIs, databases, authentication layers, and cloud workers, which means businesses don’t have to compromise.
When Base44 Makes More Sense Than Custom Coding
There are moments when traditional engineering is the right choice — but often, companies don’t need it.
Base44 shines especially when:
- A process is still evolving, and flexibility matters more than perfect architecture.
- You need results quickly — not in six months.
- Stakeholders must validate an idea before investing six figures into development.
- Teams work with outdated manual workflows that cause delays or errors.
- AI can dramatically shorten the time needed for classification, summarization, or knowledge retrieval.
One of the biggest insights from our client work:
If your business is currently run through Excel sheets, emails, PDFs, and WhatsApp messages — Base44 will change your life.
How Sharobella Builds With Base44
Our approach goes beyond pushing buttons inside the tool.
We map the business logic, model the data, define the roles, design the UX, integrate external systems, and build automations with n8n or cloud workers when needed.
A typical Base44 ecosystem we build includes:
- UI for employees
- Back-office logic
- n8n automation pipelines
- External databases (Postgres, Mongo, etc.)
- PDF or document generation workers
- Custom API bridges
- AI assistants & classifiers
- Monitoring dashboards
This is what companies expect when they want something that feels custom, but runs on a stable, scalable platform.
Real Use Cases (Anonymized)
Below are examples of what we’ve delivered for clients using Base44 — without naming the companies.

Base44 is one of the first platforms built entirely for this future.
