Layout.dev is joining Incorta: from dashboards to workflows that take action
Today, we’re excited to share that Incorta has acquired Layout.dev.
Incorta shared the announcement as a step toward “composable” intelligence and a shift from static dashboards to live data and agentic workflows. That framing matches exactly what we have been building toward at Layout.dev: taking an insight and turning it into a real application experience where work actually happens.
If you have already been building with Layout.dev, here is the most important thing to know upfront:
- Your apps keep running.
- Layout.devwill continue operating as a standalone product while Incorta integrates the technology.
- The product will keep moving fast.
What changes is the scale of what we can connect to, and how quickly we can deliver “data → application” workflows to real enterprise teams.
Why this acquisition makes sense
Layout.dev was built on a simple belief: building software should be measured in minutes, not months.
We have seen teams go from “we need an app for that” to a deployed, production-ready experience without the usual cycle of back-and-forth, tickets, and long development queues.
As we worked with more serious, data-driven workflows, one challenge kept showing up:
- Building the app is getting faster.
- Connecting it to enterprise-grade data, governance, and security is still hard.
Incorta solves that problem deeply.
Incorta’s decision intelligence platform is designed to pull live enterprise data from complex systems into a unified model, with governance and security kept in IT’s hands while enabling safe, self-service experimentation closer to the business.
Together, we can close the gap between insight and action.
The vision: composable intelligence, built on live data
Incorta described the acquisition as enabling a more fluid model where teams can:
- Ask new questions
- Test ideas on live data
- Iterate quickly
- Ship workflows that do something, not just report something
That is the world Layout.dev was built for.
The combined vision is straightforward:
- Incorta gives teams fast, governed access to live enterprise data.
- Layout.dev gives teams the fastest path from an idea to a real application.
Together, we are building an AI-native data-to-application platform where answers and actions can adapt as business questions change.
What we’re building together (and what you will feel)
Incorta’s platform is powered by Direct Data Mapping™, enabling real-time analytics on source data without traditional ETL pipelines.
As Layout.dev’s front-end capabilities are integrated, customers and partners will be able to design and deploy rich application experiences directly on top of live data with less complexity and development effort.
Practically, that means:
- Business teams move beyond dashboards to operational apps and guided workflows.
- Data teams ship customer-facing experiences without a long app-dev handoff.
- IT stays the command center for governance, access, and standardization, while delivery cycles get dramatically shorter.
Incorta called out initial focus areas like finance, operations, and supply chain, where interactive workflows on live data can have immediate impact.
What this means if you’re a Layout.dev user
Nothing breaks. Your current applications keep running, and your current subscription terms remain honored.
Over time, you will also get a clearer path to building applications that connect to the kinds of systems enterprises actually depend on.
Here is what you can expect:
- Simpler enterprise authentication (SSO)
- Incorta connectors and data-model awareness inside Layout.dev
- Templates and starter apps for common “analytics → action” patterns
If you are evaluating Layout.dev today, the headline is simple: you are choosing a product that keeps its speed, while gaining a fast path into the enterprise data stack.
What this means if you’re an Incorta customer
If you already use Incorta, Layout.dev adds a missing layer: the ability to build interactive, task-oriented applications directly on top of Incorta data models.
Instead of stopping at a dashboard, teams can ship:
- Internal operations portals
- Customer-facing data apps
- Workflow tools tied to analytics
- Approval and remediation experiences that turn insights into outcomes
- AI-assisted or agentic workflows that operate safely on governed data
What stays the same
A few commitments we want to make very clearly:
- Layout.dev stays focused on speed and simplicity.
- The platform remains AI-first.
- Your existing apps keep running.
- We will communicate changes early and clearly.
Thank you
To everyone who built with Layout.dev early, shared feedback, and pushed the product forward: thank you.
This acquisition is a milestone, but more importantly, it’s the start of a bigger build. We’re excited to create the fastest path from live enterprise data to real applications people use every day.
