Why Kreante is Embracing LowCode Development

Why LowCode, Why Now?

The shift towards LowCode development isn't just a trend—it's a response to several pressing demands in the tech industry. As technology evolves, so do the expectations for rapid delivery and high-quality digital solutions. LowCode platforms allow our team to build applications faster, adapt to changes more swiftly, and deliver results that meet our clients' needs without the traditional complexities of software development and coding.

How Kreante Uses LowCode: Real-World Applications

Some of our most frequent uses are:

• Landing pages (e.g. for Product Launches, Event Promotion, Lead Generation)
• Workflows (e.g. Employee Onboarding, Order Fulfillments)
• Forms to collect data (e.g. Customer Feedback, Event Registration, Lead Capture)
• Client portals (e.g. Financial services, Real Estate services)
• Online communities (e.g. Social Networks platforms)
• Marketplaces (e.g. E-Commerce platforms)

Benefits of LowCode

• Speed: LowCode platforms significantly reduce development time by offering a visual interface that allows our developers to build applications without writing code from scratch. This efficiency enables us to deliver solutions faster, ensuring our clients can stay ahead in their respective markets.
• Cost-Efficiency: By minimizing manual coding, LowCode reduces development costs. This savings is clearly beneficial for all small to big-sized businesses and corporations that need high-quality applications without the high price tag.
• Flexibility: LowCode platforms provide exceptional flexibility with data integration, enabling us to develop a wide range of custom applications—from client portals and websites to sales CRM systems and internal tools for workflow automation. This flexibility also allows us to easily adapt and update these applications as our clients' needs change over time.
• Collaboration: These platforms are designed to be user-friendly, which means non-developers can also participate in the development process, fostering better collaboration between our team and our clients.
• Security: LowCode platforms often come with built-in security features that help protect applications from common vulnerabilities. These platforms typically include automated security updates, compliance with industry standards, and data encryption, ensuring that sensitive information is safeguarded. By leveraging these built-in security measures, we can focus on developing robust applications while maintaining high security standards, reducing the risk of breaches and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

What LowCode Tools Are Most Commonly Used and Why?

At Kreante, we leverage several LowCode tools to maximize efficiency and effectiveness:

• WeWeb: WeWeb is an excellent tool for building responsive web applications quickly. It offers a drag-and-drop interface, which makes it easy to create visually appealing and functional websites without deep technical knowledge. WeWeb is perfect for creating complex websites with dynamic content and custom interactions.
• Xano: Xano is our go-to for backend development. It provides a robust, scalable backend as a service (BaaS) platform that allows us to build and deploy powerful APIs without managing servers. Xano's flexibility and scalability make it perfect for applications that require complex backend operations and integrations.
• Flutterflow: Flutterflow is an ideal tool for mobile application development. It leverages the power of Flutter, enabling us to create cross-platform mobile apps with a single codebase. This tool is perfect for clients who need high-performance, visually appealing mobile applications quickly and efficiently.
• Webflow: Webflow is a comprehensive tool for web design and development. It combines a visual design tool with the power of CMS and e-commerce capabilities, allowing us to create visually stunning, fully responsive websites with a high degree of customization without needing to write code.
• Microsoft Power Apps: Power Apps is a powerful tool for building custom business applications with minimal coding. It's ideal for creating apps that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365, Azure, and other services. Power Apps allows us to quickly develop tailored solutions that automate processes, manage data, and streamline workflows, making it perfect for enterprises looking to enhance productivity and collaboration.
• Microsoft Power Automate: Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow) is designed for automating workflows between different applications and services. It's perfect for automating repetitive tasks, integrating various systems, and creating complex workflows without writing code. This tool enables us to connect different apps and services to create efficient, automated processes that save time and reduce manual effort.

How Does This Help Our Clients Versus Only Using NoCode Tools?

While we continue to use NoCode tools, which are exceptional for building everything from simple prototypes to complex applications, incorporating LowCode into our process allows us to push these capabilities even further. NoCode platforms like Bubble offer an accessible and efficient way to build robust applications without writing code, making them ideal for rapid development and iteration.

However, as project requirements grow more sophisticated, LowCode platforms provide the additional flexibility needed to customize features, integrate with external systems, and scale applications effectively. They bridge the gap between NoCode simplicity and full-code flexibility, enabling us to deliver highly tailored, high-performance solutions that meet specific client needs while maintaining the speed and efficiency that NoCode offers and without the overhead of traditional coding. Here’s how Lowcode tools benefit our clients:

• Customization: LowCode platforms offer more flexibility in customization, allowing us to create tailored solutions that meet specific client requirements.
• Scalability: LowCode tools are designed to handle the growing demands of businesses, making them suitable for applications that need to scale over time.
• Integration: LowCode platforms provide better integration capabilities with existing systems and third-party services such as Airtable and Google Sheets,, ensuring seamless workflows and data consistency.
• Control: With LowCode, our clients have greater control over their applications, with the ability to fine-tune performance and security settings as needed.

Conclusion:

Kreante's adoption of LowCode development empowers us to deliver superior solutions quickly and cost-effectively. By choosing LowCode, we ensure that our clients receive high-quality, secure customized applications that are built to scale and adapt as their business grows.
