What is the best software for my logistics company?
There is no straightforward answer to this question. When choosing software, it is important to consider factors such as functional requirements and available resources. The main decision lies between selecting an off-the-shelf software package or pursuing custom development. Many vendors provide off-the-shelf software solutions for logistics companies, but you also have the option to develop your own customized software.
What are the pros and cons of off-the-shelf software?

Off-the-shelf software offers quick implementation at a relatively low cost. However, every logistics company has unique processes that may not align with standard software solutions. Even if software providers claim their solution is tailored for the industry, it often includes unnecessary features or lacks essential functionalities. Customization options for the software are also limited.

Many logistics companies try to adapt their processes to fit within the limitations of off-the-shelf packages. At House of low-code, we prioritize the needs of the business over the technology itself.

What are the pros and cons of custom development?

The main advantage of custom software is its perfect alignment with your logistics processes. You are not reliant on a software vendor to determine which functionalities you need. Instead, you have full control over the features and design of the software.

However, custom development also has its drawbacks, especially when opting for traditional software development. This involves manually writing code using programming languages, which is a complex and rigid process. It consumes a lot of time with extensive specifications and planning. Meanwhile, the logistics sector and customer needs are constantly evolving. Sometimes, software no longer meets requirements after development. Additionally, it can be challenging to attract experienced programmers, further increasing costs.

Fortunately, custom development doesn't have to be challenging. At House of low-code, we specialize in rapidly developing user-friendly customized applications that truly propel your logistics company forward. We achieve this using a future-proof technology: low-code.

What is low-code development?
Low-code is a development approach that enables you to create applications using visual building blocks and models. It provides a user-friendly graphical interface that hides the complexities of programming code. By leveraging low-code, you can rapidly build customized logistics software, seamlessly integrate new features, and often achieve cost savings compared to traditional software development.
What are the benefits of low-code?

Rapid development
Low-code accelerates the development of custom software, reducing project completion time from months to weeks.

Lower costs
Low-code development is cost-effective. It saves time and requires less expensive programming knowledge.

Increased agility
With low-code, you can quickly incorporate customer feedback and promptly adapt to changes in laws and regulations.

Co-creation
Low-code allows non-programmers like logistics planners to participate in the development process, resulting in better software.

Easy integration
The power of low-code lies in its ability to easily integrate a new application with your existing systems.

Legacy modernization
Outdated software often hampers efficiency. With low-code, you can continuously modernize applications.
