Cutting the Right Corners With Low Code Results in 70% Savings
In the fast-paced world of software development, choosing the right technology for each project is crucial. At our software house, we pride ourselves on taking a holistic approach to this decision-making process. No questions are off the table, and we’re not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom. One particularly intriguing question that occasionally arises is whether we should be writing any code at all.

Recently, one of our clients approached us with a request for an app that would bridge gaps in their existing systems. At first glance, the vision for the app seemed relatively simple and straightforward. This initial assessment led us to identify it as an ideal candidate for a low-code approach.
Assessing the Requirements
Before diving into development, we engaged in thorough discussions with the client to ensure that low-code tools would be sufficient to provide a complete and robust solution. The app’s primary use cases were largely limited to CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, which reinforced our instinct to pursue a low-code strategy.
The core functionality of the app revolved around two main features:
- Collecting reports of various activities from users through a complex multi-step form.
- Allowing administrators to browse submitted reports via an interactive, filterable table.
Implementing the Solution
After careful consideration, we chose JetAdmin, a powerful no-code app builder, as our platform of choice. It combined a truly polished aesthetic with robust technical capabilities and a rich library of built-in integrations.
To maximize the potential of this low-code solution, we assembled a team consisting of a frontend developer and a designer. Their collaboration was key to navigating the limited options that low-code platforms typically offer while still creating a polished, user-friendly application.
JetAdmin proved to be an excellent fit for our needs, offering prebuilt components for both multi-step forms and data tables. The bulk of our development work centered around setting up data models and integrating various components to create a cohesive user experience.
The Benefits of Going Low-Code
One of the most compelling aspects of our low-code approach was the potential cost savings for our client. Our analysis showed that by adopting this solution instead of a fully custom-built application, the client could save up to 70% on development and maintenance costs. This significant reduction in expenses was achieved without compromising on the functionality or quality of the final product.
The client’s reaction to our proposal was overwhelmingly positive and they even expressed surprise at the capabilities of modern low-code platforms, having previously underestimated their potential to deliver robust, feature-rich applications.
Embracing Innovation in Software Development
At Boldare, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of technological innovation. This commitment allows us to offer our clients the best and most modern solutions available. By leveraging low-code platforms when appropriate, we avoid reinventing the wheel and instead focus our efforts on delivering value efficiently.
