Why Low Code?

In recent years we have had many new store and unified commerce platforms being developed in-house and also by new entrants to the market. These fail to either get off the ground at all or collapse when met with early hurdles. At the same time, established vendors are having serious problems servicing customers with their legacy platforms which simply aren’t able to incorporate the changes their clients need. Both of these elements emphasise the fact that the biggest challenge of enterprise software is about being able to sustain and deliver change.

We have several Tools which leverage this method for building applications. Long-Running Business processes that applications use as well as mapping out where applications get data for integration. Our Tools make simple changes quick, hard changes easier and impossible change possible. We envisaged that with these tools we could eradicate a lot of the technical knowledge necessary to build and amend apps so that normal business users could do so – today that is a reality.

All of our solutions have been built from day one with the same Framework and Tools which embrace a complete Low-Code, Flow-based approach. This means that flexibility is at the core of the Enactor architecture. This is not only great for our customers but also for us as a supplier. It means that we can deliver changes to our customers easily. It enables us to manage versions of the software and do away with the “Spaghetti” nature of enterprise software within our own platform.

We always envisaged that the very biggest Retailers would want more self-sufficiency over their solutions. What makes this possible is our Low-code, flow-based approach to application architecture. Simply put, it makes the logic of building large sophisticated software more open and understandable. Customer or Partner development teams can quickly take up the mantel and develop their own extensions, do their own integrations and run their own projects in a way previously not possible.
