Our Client<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our client is a large-scale transportation company and long-term Prolifics customer, providing innovative supply chain solutions to a variety of customers throughout North America. Utilizing an integrated, multimodal approach, the company applies technology-driven methods to create the best solution for each customer, adding efficiency, flexibility, and value to their operations.<\/p>\n

Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our client was struggling to enter metadata into their SQL server database, which often took many hours. They needed an inexpensive tool their employees could use to quickly and easily achieve the same task and allow their database to build around it.<\/p>\n

Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

We integrated a low-code platform (Microsoft Power Apps) that our client could use to enter their metadata into their SQL server. As Craig Breakspear, Consulting Director of Cloud Solutions at Prolifics, says, \u201cIt\u2019s a low code platform, not a traditional development platform like Java, for instance. This is what we term \u2018low code, no code,\u2019 and it allows you to create an application in much less time than if you were to do so using a traditional development platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Result<\/strong><\/p>\n

By implementing Microsoft Power Apps, we gave our client the ability to enter their metadata quickly and easily. Craig says, \u201cOriginally, for whatever they were doing, they\u2019d have to go into a SQL server. Let\u2019s say it took them an hour to enter data. Our integration of Power Apps allows our client to enter that same data in significantly less time, sometimes within 15-20 minutes.\u201d This meant that our client\u2019s employees could enter data into their SQL server in just a few simple clicks, giving them a 50 percent increase in productivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a solution that enabled our client to pay a lot less for their application development and get it done quicker, where time to market was consequently much faster. Our client is looking to do more low-code work with us in the near future. They\u2019re looking to do more with what we already have and perhaps build on top of it and dive into some other areas where they need a similar application,\u201d Craig says.<\/p>\n

Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code platform that allows its users to construct and share low-code applications. Craig elaborates on low code in a\u00a0previous blog from Prolifics<\/a>.<\/p>\n
