Low-Code Solution Garners 50% Increase in Productivity for Transportation Company
Our Client
Our client is a large-scale transportation company and a long-term customer of Logistics Studio. They provide innovative supply chain solutions to a variety of customers across North America. By leveraging an integrated, multimodal approach, the company employs technology-driven methods to deliver tailored solutions that enhance efficiency, flexibility, and value for their operations.
Challenge
The client faced significant challenges in entering metadata into their SQL Server database, a process that often took several hours. They needed a cost-effective tool that their employees could use to streamline this task, enabling faster data entry and allowing their database to scale efficiently.
Action
To address this, we implemented Microsoft Power Apps, a low-code platform, which allowed the client to enter metadata into their SQL Server with ease. As Sai Kastury, Consulting Director of Cloud Solutions at Logistics Studio, explains, “Power Apps is a low-code, no-code platform, unlike traditional development platforms such as Java. This approach enables the creation of applications in significantly less time compared to conventional methods.”
Result
The integration of Microsoft Power Apps transformed the client’s data entry process. Sai notes, “Previously, entering data directly into the SQL Server could take up to an hour. With Power Apps, the same task now takes just 15-20 minutes.” This improvement led to a 50% increase in productivity, as employees could now enter data with just a few clicks.
Additionally, the solution reduced application development costs and accelerated time-to-market. Sai adds, “Our client is now exploring further low-code opportunities with us. They aim to expand on the existing solution and develop similar applications for other areas of their business.”
Technology
Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code platform designed to build and share applications with minimal coding. For a deeper understanding of low-code platforms, Sai Kastury has elaborated on the topic in a previous Logistics Studio blog.
