Singapore – Singapore-based enterprise solutions company 7-Network has today announced the launch of JET Workflow, a codeless app-based solution for enterprise workflow processes. Realising that effective management in the 21st century requires more than just spread sheets, JET Workflow allows non-developers without any coding skills to create web and mobile apps in minutes and put their ideas in action instantly.

The market for codeless workflow process solutions has burgeoned in recent years. The no-code and low-code landscape is awash with numerous international players touting solutions that are tailor-made for non-technical ‘employee-developers’. Such solutions mostly hinge around codeless mobile app development, workflow-centric apps, or forms-based user interfaces which integrate a variety of different enterprise data sources.

Where JET Workflow differs is in offering a powerful suite of codeless development tools designed to help end users get started quickly and easily. This places in-house process development within the reach of SMEs for a fraction of the price of other larger vendors. It also helps MNCs looking to develop beta-tested ‘proof of concept’ solutions before farming them out to professional developers. For MNCs, JET provides an Enterprise Engagement Program offering customization of JET solutions.

The main benefit of codeless app development is that workflow processes are built from the ground up not by trained, professional developers but by the actual employee end-users who already have an intimate understanding of the unique workflow challenges involved. This leads to faster in-house solutions development and speedier rectification of any subsequent issues or bugs than is the case with costlier developer-driven projects.

JET Workflow embodies the belief that everyone should have access to a universally simple software for building work apps and tools. JET Workflow is based on a codeless architecture which is simple and intuitive to non-developers whilst remaining infinitely scalable depending upon the specific complexity of the project in hand. Users can create ‘instant apps’ that deliver a powerful suite of mobile and Cloud-based enterprise process solutions without the need for costly and slow developer involvement.

Alternatively, companies (both SMEs and MNCs) can use JET to create ‘proof of concept’ workflow solutions which can later be professionally coded after they have been exhaustively tested in the actual workplace.

JET Workflow can also serve as ‘middleware’, enabling enterprises using big legacy software systems to craft mobile apps that collect data and export it to that big system. For example, a research company could deploy JET to field researchers for data collection, before redirecting this bulk data into their business analytic system.

JET Workflow provides a powerful suite of developer tools and pre-set templates to address such areas as building management, contacts, customer information, document management, expenses, fault reporting, inventory and stocktaking, feedback, inventory, work scheduling, order forms, photo library, private chat, product catalogue, task lists, surveys, project management, sales tracking and more. JET has applications across numerous possible industries including restaurants, food & beverage, warehousing, trucking, building and construction, event management and many others. JET is also ideally suited for use by schools and government agencies.

But where JET Workflow really differs from other codeless vendors in the market is in its seamless integration of third party microservices like SMS gateway service providers, e-vouchers/e-coupons management (such as Vouchermatic), or payment gateways. JET is continually adding to its portfolio of microservices, making the suite both versatile and scalable.

Creating a JET-based mobile app could not be simpler for non-developers. Just download the JET mobile app, create a form and define your data assets (e.g. text, numeric, dates, barcodes, GPS locations, image files or videos, timestamps or checkboxes). Then login to JET’s instant mobile app interface and your ‘app on the go’ is instantly ready to use. JET also allows users to conveniently import existing Excel data spread sheets for manipulation within the app.

Contained within JET’s codeless architecture is a powerful set of triggers which enable users to perform an action based on a specific condition (e.g. “send an email alert when a new record is added”). These triggers are governed by simple arithmetic and logic; no programming codes are needed on the user’s part.

JET also features a powerful search engine which enables users to search through millions of records in an instant, export data to a CSV file, and which also gives the option to export files, photos, and videos. One practical example of this search application is to import a firewall log and search for traces of potential security threats.

Jin Chong, Managing Director of 7-Network, said “Our mission is to empower people to create streamlined business processes, no matter what industry or department they are in. JET Workflow is an easy-to-use but powerful app-builder software for automated databases. With a user-friendly interface, zero coding expertise is required for end users to create applications to manage information across organisations, for different functions and industries.”

Prices for JET begin from a one-time charge of US$4,000 and provides for unlimited users and unlimited forms. The software is easily installed, runs on Windows or Linux, and comes with a 1 year bug fix support package.
