What’s the best software for my pharmaceutical company?
There is no simple answer to this question. When choosing software, it is important to consider factors such as functional requirements and available resources. The main decision often comes down to selecting between off-the-shelf software or custom development. Numerous vendors offer standard software packages tailored for the pharmaceutical industry. Alternatively, you have the option to develop your own application.
What are the pros and cons of off-the-shelf software?

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

Many pharmaceutical companies try to adjust their processes to fit within the constraints of off-the-shelf packages. At House of low-code, we prioritize the needs of the business over the technology itself, ensuring that your software solution is truly tailored to your specific requirements.

What are the pros and cons of custom development?

The primary advantage of custom software is its perfect alignment with your business processes. You are not reliant on a software vendor who determines which functionalities are essential for you. Instead, you have full control over the software's features and design.

However, there are also disadvantages associated with custom development, especially in traditional software development. It involves manually writing code using programming languages, which can be complex and inflexible. This often requires a significant time investment in detailed specifications and planning, while the pharmaceutical sector is highly dynamic. Sometimes, software becomes outdated shortly after development. Additionally, attracting experienced programmers can be challenging, leading to higher costs.

Fortunately, custom development doesn't have to be difficult. At House of low-code, we specialize in rapidly creating user-friendly custom software that truly propels your pharmaceutical 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
Low-code enables you to quickly adapt to new laws and regulations and explore technologies like AI.

Co-creation
Low-code allows non-programmers like researchers 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 hampers innovation and efficiency. With low-code, you can continuously modernize applications.
