3 Ways No-Code Can Successfully Power Supply Chain Innovation

Empowering the entire business – and the entire supply chain 

“Citizen development is really common with the line of business, no coding skillset developer,” Peter said. “These are individuals who know their businesses well and know their processes well, and you’ll find them all across an operations supply chain.” 

When these individuals have the tools and capabilities to innovate the processes they are closest to, they can create enterprise grade, end-to-end solutions without code. One of the other benefits is that  

And further, this can go beyond the business itself, and into the supply chain more broadly. From procurement challenges to ensuring quality across processes, true leading organizations will be empowering their supply chain professionals to collaborate across the entire supply chain. 

“One of the next frontiers from a continuous improvement standpoint is to allow supply chain professional to break down those siloes with their collaborators through the entire supply chain,” Peter said. 

Critical integrations 

With a lot of conversation around how systems integrate in the supply chain community, it can be a large commitment to bring on new technology – luckily, the right no-code tools like Quickbase can connect and automate across your entire tech stack, including core ERP systems. And innovative organizations are putting this concern front and center. 

“The most powerful problems to solve are the ones that extend those legacy systems, and really take what those systems do well and add that customization layer at the edge of it,” Peter said. Even while core systems like SAP can be seen as out-of-date, those systems still play a major role in housing key data at scale.  

Quickbase can play a key part in adding flexibility and adaptability to those systems and unite data from across those systems. These integrations allow for systems like SAP to capture the large-scale amounts of data, while agile no-code tools can effectively make that data useful and make data actionable.
