Low-code

A low-code development platform provides an environment, usually a graphical interface, where little or no code is written. It can generate a working application or require additional code for specific cases, shortening delivery time.

In business automation

Low-code lets you combine ready-made screens and connections with focused code. It suits cases where most of the work is standard, but a calculation or connection cannot be described well through configuration alone.

Examples

These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.

Business process example

An operations team builds a screen for reviewing orders. Data loads through a connector, and an unusual shipping allocation calculation runs in a short function before a recommendation is shown to the user.

Relevant tools

Retool
Build internal tools with visual components, data connections, and custom logic.

What to check

  • Short code still needs tests and an owner. Document the inputs and outputs of the custom part so it can be changed later.
