Anvil Case Studies

Query Streams integrates directly with Google Sheets and Excel, turning them into powerful BI tools. It lets you transform your databases into secure, shareable queries that anyone can run—no complex setup, VPNs, or credentials required. Using Anvil, Chris Houston brought Query Streams to life as a side project in under five months, all while working a full-time job.

Fairshake is a Silcon Valley-based startup that helps ordinary people bring claims against corporate giants. In less than 6 months, they rebuilt their no-code working prototype into a fully scalable product using Python and Anvil.

New startup, Lightning AI, bypassed the months of development and thousands of dollars of initial investment needed to create a client interface for their advertising optimisation system by choosing Anvil. Lightning AI created a user-interface with their existing machine-learning program, establishing product-market fit and allowing them to scale from a consultancy to an AI product-based business.

When dealing with billions of dollars, small mistakes can have big consequences. Traditional tools for tracking, valuing and analyzing financial data rely heavily on Excel and manual operations. BasisPoint realised it was time for investment to enter the modern world. They use Anvil to create custom-made tools for institutional investors so they can keep track of their accounts and make better financial decisions.

The Mark.One bakery software is a web-based solution that combines all the components of a bakery in a single software package. From the cash register system in the sales department, to the back office functions such as data maintenance and customer orders in the office, to clever bakery management, everything is linked together without interfaces. With Anvil, Mark.One had a production-ready product in 10 months.

We find that developing a real, commercial app in Anvil is 7 times faster than using traditional web development tools. Over the whole development cycle, this adds up to an 80% saving in time and resources.
