Low-code and no-code platforms in logistics and supply chain

We set up low-code and no-code platforms so business teams can build applications quickly, inside rules IT can support.

Low-code work is about governed citizen development: environments, data access, review steps and support once an application is in use. We set up the platform and its rules, build the first applications with your teams and train the people who will build the next ones.

Logistics operators work to tight delivery windows and customs requirements, with many partners running different systems. Planners, warehouse leads and partner managers need changes that do not interrupt live shipments, so we plan cutovers away from volume peaks. Applications built by business teams still handle personal and government data, so data residency, the UAE PDPL, the Saudi PDPL and the security controls your regulator expects apply to them as to any other system.

We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What the work covers

We design, deliver and stay until operation is stable, with evidence your procurement and risk teams can rely on.

  • Platform governance

    Separate environments, data policies and a review step before any application reaches production.

  • First applications

    A first set of applications built with business teams on real processes.

  • Builder enablement

    Training, templates and a support model for staff who build applications outside IT.

  • Customs and port platforms

    We plan integration with the customs and port systems your shipments pass through, such as Dubai Customs' Mirsal and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security in the UAE, or ZATCA's FASAH platform and Mawani in Saudi Arabia.

  • Application lifecycle

    Versioning, testing and promotion between environments, so changes made by business teams can be traced.

  • Integration and data access

    Approved connectors to core systems, with data access granted by role rather than by builder.

Signs you are ready to start

A low-code programme is ready to start when IT and the business agree who may build, and there is a backlog of small processes waiting for an application.

  • The partners and carriers to connect first have been agreed.
  • IT and the business have agreed who may build applications and which data they may use.
  • A first list of processes to build has been drawn up with business owners.
