5 advantages of working with low-code

The way companies develop digital solutions is changing rapidly. Where software development used to take months or even years, low-code applications now make it possible to build a fully functional app or web app within just a few weeks. One of the biggest players in this field is Mendix, a low-code platform developed in the Netherlands and recognized worldwide as a market leader. In this blog, you’ll discover the five main advantages of low-code development, with Mendix as a practical example.

What is low-code application development?

Low-code application development is a method of building applications through a visual interface instead of purely through programming. Thanks to pre-built components and drag-and-drop functionality, our squads can create digital solutions faster and more efficiently. Using this platform, our Mendix developers can automate complex business processes without needing in-depth programming expertise.

Advantage 1: Faster development and time-to-market

One of the biggest benefits of low-code platforms is massive time savings. With reusable components, templates and integrations, our business consultants can deliver functional prototypes within just a few days. This makes it easier to gather feedback and improve applications iteratively.

Where traditional software development often takes months, new tools or apps built with low-code can go live within weeks. This speed provides a competitive advantage and a faster return on investment (ROI).

Advantage 2: Lower development and maintenance costs

Because low-code processes shorten development time, total project costs decrease significantly. Companies not only save on development time but also on maintenance, thanks to Mendix’s cloud-native structure.

A low-code application can be adjusted without having to start a completely new development cycle each time. This lowers costs and makes maintenance more manageable.

Advantage 3: Flexibility and scalability

Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise organization, low-code development with Squad Apps offers scalable solutions. Thanks to integrations with ERP systems, AI and IoT, we can build applications that grow along with your business needs.

Advantage 4: Accessibility for non-developers

Low-code platforms like Mendix make it possible for non-technical employees (“citizen developers”) to contribute to application development. Using visual workflows, they can digitalize processes themselves without programming knowledge.

We can also train your internal teams to become low-code developers through our training program “The Green Carpet”.

The collaboration between business and IT leads to faster innovation and better alignment between organizational needs and what’s being built.

Advantage 5: Reliable community and partners in The Netherlands

Through Mendix, you gain access to a large network of partners and collaborators who can help develop your Mendix solutions.

Our Mendix-certified experts assist with strategic decisions, integrations and training so you can fully leverage the value of the platform.
