Custom Applications Without the Custom Development Cost

Fix critical workflow gaps with Spider Impact’s no-code Apps — build, secure, and visualize in one connected platform.

IT Backlogs Stalling Progress

Most teams can’t afford to wait months for new tools or IT bandwidth. Important processes stay stuck in spreadsheets and email while priorities evolve. With Spider Impact Apps, business users can build production-ready tools in days — no developers required — so work moves forward without waiting in line.

Missing Systems of Record

Organizations track incidents, assets, projects, and compliance cases using fragmented spreadsheets and shared drives, creating data chaos with no visibility or reporting. Spider Impact Apps provide complete systems of record where data collected through forms immediately becomes available for dashboards and reports with enterprise-grade governance.

Inflexible Off-the-Shelf Software

Off-the-shelf SaaS tools don't fit unique workflows, forcing organizations to adapt proven processes to software limitations. This creates inefficiency, user frustration, and shadow IT solutions that bypass governance. Spider Impact delivers true customization that matches your exact workflows and business rules with unified security and complete auditability.

Package Complete Applications with Dedicated URLs

Apps assemble Spider Impact forms, dashboards, and reports into standalone experiences with dedicated URLs users can bookmark for direct access. Create project intake systems, customer portals, or compliance trackers—each with its own curated interface separate from the main Spider Impact application.

Build Your Own System of Record

When no system exists to track your key data—like incidents, assets, projects, or compliance cases—Apps become your department’s single source of truth. Collect, manage, and secure records, while instantly feeding dashboards, reports, and alerts across Spider Impact.

Create Sophisticated Workflows Without Code

Create application-grade workflows—without writing a line of code. Prevent duplicates, validate entries across fields, and automatically update linked records. Advanced features like conditional logic, multi-column layouts, and file attachments let your team streamline complex processes in a few clicks.

From Spreadsheet Chaos to Governed System

Critical workflows—like asset tracking, compliance, and operational incidents—often get stuck in spreadsheets that can’t enforce validation, workflows, or provide leadership visibility. Apps turn these into governed systems of record, with validation, permissions, automated workflows, and reporting—so your team can trust the data and act confidently.

Apps That Collect AND Visualize Data

Spider Impact Apps let you collect and visualize data in the same place. View dashboards tracking incident trends, run reports showing asset utilization, visualize project pipelines—right inside your app or anywhere in Spider Impact. And, when you update data inside or outside of an app, those changes appear instantly everywhere. One platform, one security model.

Built-in reporting and visualization for apps

Single Source of Security and Governance

Apps automatically inherit Spider Impact's permission model. Set permissions once at the organization level, and every form, dashboard, and report reflects those permissions. Users only see authorized data, sections hide automatically for restricted users, and everything is fully auditable—no separate user management or security gaps.

Deploy in Days, Adapt in Minutes

Traditional software takes months to implement; Spider Impact Apps go from requirements to production in 3–7 days. And when workflows change, updates happen in minutes—not weeks. Teams like the US Army rely on this agility; your department can respond just as quickly to shifting business needs.

Mobile-Ready, Automatically Responsive

Multi-column layouts automatically adapt to any device. Field teams collect data on phones, managers review dashboards on tablets, and executives access reports on desktop—same app, same data, same security, optimized for each device. No separate mobile app development needed.

AI Answers for Questions You Didn't Anticipate

That's where Impact Assistant comes in—automatically included in every app. Users simply ask questions in plain language like "What were incidents by region last month?" and get instant answers with visualizations. No technical skills required. Your apps combine beautiful curated experiences with on-demand conversational exploration.

FAQs

What are Spider Impact Apps?

Apps are standalone applications you build by packaging Spider Impact forms, dashboards, and reports together. Each app has its own dedicated URL and provides a curated, task-specific experience. Apps are perfect for creating systems of record when no system exists—track incidents, manage assets, collect project data, or monitor any operational process.

Do I need developers or coding skills to build Apps?

No. Apps are built entirely through point-and-click configuration using Spider Impact's form builder, dashboard designer, and report creator. Business users and administrators who understand the workflow can build sophisticated applications without writing any code. Advanced capabilities like validation logic, multi-dataset workflows, and conditional visibility are all configured visually.

Can Apps serve as a system of record for our data?

Absolutely—this is one of Apps' strongest capabilities. When you don't have a system for tracking incidents, assets, projects, or compliance cases, Apps provide a complete solution. Data collected through app forms immediately becomes available throughout Spider Impact for dashboards, reports, and alerts—all with enterprise-grade security and governance. No data exports or separate reporting tools needed.

How do Apps handle security and permissions?

Apps automatically inherit Spider Impact's permission model. Set permissions once at the organization level, and every form, dashboard, and report in your apps reflects those permissions. Users only see data they're authorized to access. App sections can even hide automatically for users without permissions. There's no separate user management—security is seamless, unified, and fully auditable.

How long does it take to build and deploy an App?

Most apps go from concept to production in 3-7 days. Organizations with existing Spider Impact data structures can often build apps in hours. Once deployed, apps can be modified in minutes—critical for adapting to changing requirements. This compares to 2-6 months for traditional custom development or 3-12 months for commercial software implementation.

Are Apps included in my Spider Impact license?

Apps are included for all customers with Forms access. Forms are automatic at 25+ licenses and available as an add-on for smaller teams. There's no per-app fee or usage limits. Check with your account manager for specific licensing details.
