Low-code/no-code platforms let you build forms, approval flows or simple reports with drag and drop. Custom software, on the other hand, is built specifically for your business processes. Each approach has its strengths.
When is low-code a good choice?
- Simple internal processes with few users.
- Testing an idea quickly within a few weeks.
- No deep integration with other systems required.
When should you invest in custom software?
- Distinctive processes that give you a competitive edge.
- Many users and large data volumes requiring high performance.
- Integration with many systems: accounting, e-invoicing, banks, Zalo…
- You want to own the source code and data and avoid per-user licence costs.
Combining both
Many businesses combine the two: low-code for small tasks, custom software for the most important core processes. The key is a consistent data design from the start so systems can connect.
