Redesigning an application previously built with standards frameworks with an Enterprise Low code platform is probably one of the best social proofs regarding the value of these platforms.
Fnac-Darty, a major retailer, used Convertigo Low code studio to rebuild one of the most strategic B2E processes: a digital point of sale.
Bookplanet, a software provider, used Convertigo Low code studio to rebuild their B2C applications, aimed to encourage reading among students.
The goal for Fnac-Darty was to enable salespeople to present products, check stock levels, and complete transactions through tablets, connected to the company’s backend system.
→ Integration: seamless integration with web services and APIs.
For Darty, this meant incorporating functionalities like scanning and NFC for payments directly into the application.
→ Customization: Convertigo allows custom coding when necessary, ensuring that developers can have solutions for specific needs.
→ Maintainability: applications built on Low code platforms are generally easier to maintain and update and evolutions can be made quickly.
Key results:
→ The same application, hosted On Premises and deployed across 216 stores, was completed in ¼ of the time and cost of the initial application.
→ Used by 3,000 people daily and responsible for 75% of in-store sales and 65% of Click & Collect.
The goal for Bookplanet was to rebuild a user-friendly application where scanning a book's ISBN would provide users with a wealth of information, from the author's biography to multimedia content and reader reviews.
Why Low code?
→ Backend capabilities: Low code platforms enable the creation of a vast library and the querying of extensive book-related information through efficient API calls and database integrations.
→ Speed: a brand-new design has been made by Warren Walter and the implementation was way quicker than before.
Key results:
→ Faster deployment: project deployed, including project management, in 2 months.
→ Flexibility: the back office is completely customizable without additional costs, with Baserow, the integrated No code database.
→ Scalability: the application can serve thousands of users.
This demonstrates how Low code platforms can serve as a robust tool in redefining the development of B2E and B2C applications, with the same quality than classic development, providing a solid return on investment.
