Frequently asked questions.
Find quick answers regarding our custom builds, integrations, and deployment cycles.
Can the admin panel connect to our existing SQL database?+
Yes. We regularly build custom back-office panels that connect directly to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, or MongoDB databases, ensuring your operational data remains synchronized in real time.
Can we restrict admin panels to internal staff only?+
Yes. We configure strict IP-whitelist restrictions, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and single sign-on (SSO) integrations (like Google Workspace or Microsoft Azure AD) to guarantee only authorized personnel can access the panel.
Do you charge licensing fees per admin user?+
No. Since we build custom, bespoke software, you own the system. You can add as many internal users, staff members, and managers as you want without paying any monthly per-user licensing fees.
