Supply Chain Management (SCM) Operators need the ability to rapidly collect and process huge volumes of data to rapidly reduce manual work, eliminate errors, and improve operational velocity and efficiencies. Logistics Providers need to identify and rapidly deliver documented operating efficiencies to customers.

ViziApps can be deployed as an embedded and connected platform within your Enterprise Private Cloud and eliminate 90% of the effort to build and deploy mobile workflow apps. This approach accelerates time-to-value by enabling SCM functional experts to focus on rapidly building apps while the complexities of security, data linking and large-scale deployment are handled centrally on a platform basis.

ViziApps “fills the gap” and helps teams rapidly create and use mobile and web apps. The big win? Squeezing out manual work and rapidly connecting and uploading real-life data and observations for continuous improvement. These, in turn, enable and leverages backend big data, ML/AI, Chatbots, and automation.

Jessica D'Oliveira, Analyst for Forrester, recently wrote about the value of low-code development, especially in a start-up environment. Before joining Forrester, D'Oliveira created more than 50 no-code minimum viable products, which provided a great perspective on how these solutions can be used.

D'Oliveira says the solutions were “Built for — or with — entrepreneurs looking to launch digital businesses. This experience gave me firsthand insight into the ways that low-code platforms can solve startup problems, the hurdles that face founders who want to adopt a low-code platform, and ways that vendors could improve their ability to connect with founders and startups.”

One of the key observations made was that low-code can help solve the scale problem for startups. According to D'Oliveira, in their rush to validate their idea, startups frequently streamline their front ends by gluing together multiple back-end services.
