Today, businesses rely on a series of technological platforms to facilitate their business operations. But increasing complexity and the need for efficiency are increasing the need for tailored applications.
However, application coding often takes too long and the competition for IT resources is constantly increasing. So businesses and their IT teams must once again find ways to do more with less. This is what is driving many developers to accelerate the adoption of technologies ofenforcement Low-code (low-code), reducing the need for coding to create applications for a wide variety of business processes.
In this article, we show you 6 examples of applications that you can create with a low-code platform.
Supplier master data management
Knowing your suppliers is essential to keep track of expenses and fulfill orders. The international courier company Deutsche Post DHL has thus moved from Excel spreadsheets and emails to a data management portal supplier database that standardized the process and ensured data accuracy and compliance with the standard process prior to transfer to the ERP system.
Customer service
Meeting the expectations of its customers is essential to win and retain customers and to compete with other players in the market. Financial services provider Old Mutual wanted to expand to better meet the needs of its customers, but was facing the financial hurdle of a lengthy training process for its staff. So he overcame this obstacle by creating a standardized front end platform containing information on more than 500 product variants, in order to help its staff provide superior service to its customers.
The approval process
It is not uncommon for approvals to get stuck at one of the reviewers. For example, the Japanese printer and photocopier manufacturer Kyocera needed to address the slow turnaround times in its approval process, which was causing it to lose markets. In doing so, he created an application that digitized the approval process and integrated it into his SAP system, increasing visibility for decision makers. This led to an 85% reduction in approval times and allowed him to win more big contracts.
Insurance claims
Time is of the essence when it comes to resolving insurance claims! Universal Group, the main insurer in the Dominican Republic, wanted to increase productivity, reduce operating costs, and bring greater transparency to its auto insurance claims settlement process. To do this, the team created a solution that offers total visibility to claims processors and customers, streamlines the parts ordering process and helps improve productivity and save money.
Regulatory compliance
As we know, complying with the large number of laws and regulations in force in different markets is essential to avoid financial and reputational damage. For its part, Cofco International needed to enable collaboration and ensure end-to-end traceability. So they created a digital dashboard that provides information in real time on applicable grain standard laws in each region where they ship goods, allowing them to ensure compliance and protect their bottom line.
Order management
Fast and accurate order fulfillment is critical to customer satisfaction and brand reputation. Thus, NRF, a Dutch radiator manufacturer, needed to fill the gaps and inefficiencies in its order management process, which required employees to complete time-consuming manual administrative tasks. The company created a system that eliminates gaps in the process and provides a single point of reference for all orders of products, reducing lead time by half.
