Low and no-code platforms have revolutionized the way businesses build systems and applications. These tools allow users to create functional applications with minimal technical knowledge. It’s predicted that 75% of all new applications will be built using low code by 2026, with 80% of users being non-IT developers.
These platforms offer benefits like reduced development costs and streamlined processes, but you might encounter difficulties in scaling up automation due to their document-processing limitations.
Unstructured document processing is a vital area where low and no-code platforms fall short, which hampers complete automation. If you work with documents on a daily basis, you know it often results in a lot of manual work and wasted time.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) can enhance your low or no-code applications, relieving you from the challenges posed by paperwork.
Low-Code and No-Code Explained
Low-code and no-code platforms offer a major advantage: they no longer require developers or huge budgets to automate business processes. These platforms target citizen developers – individuals without coding backgrounds but with business expertise – empowering them to drive innovation and digital transformation within their organizations.
- Low-code platforms provide a visual environment for minimal manual coding, using templates for app creation and allowing custom code incorporation when needed. It suits those with some technical understanding, often employed for internal tools and business applications.
- No-code platforms take simplicity further, requiring no manual coding. Leveraging visual interfaces, they cater to non-technical users such as business analysts. No-code is ideal for basic websites, content management systems, and simple automation.
Low and no coding allows organizations to improve efficiency, reduce the burden on IT departments, and respond more quickly to changing business needs.
IDP and Low/No-Code
Low-code and no-code platforms are great for automating simple data extraction tasks or when rapid development is needed. However, they struggle with complex scenarios where data from various documents need to be properly distributed to other systems, including CRMs, ERPs, and accounting software.
Fortunately, IDP is designed to handle such challenges. It combines Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) to automatically extract, classify, and analyze information from any type of document, whether structured or unstructured. By intelligently extracting key fields such as vendor names, invoice numbers, dates, line items, and amounts, IDP sets the foundation for further use.
IDP is especially sought after by organizations dealing with large document volumes and manual data entry. This combination saves them a significant amount of time and effort, leading to a healthier bottom line. It boosts operational efficiency, reduces errors, and speeds up document-based processes.
Combining IDP for invoice processing and no-code opens the door to numerous possibilities. For example, Bring Cargo, a logistics company, automated their invoice processing using Betty Blocks’ no-code platform and Klippa’s IDP software.
Banijay, a production company renowned for TV series like Big Brother and Deal or No Deal, significantly improved its expense management process. They reduced the turnaround time from 3 months to just 7 days using Mendix and Klippa.
Benefits of IDP with Low-Code and No-Code
Incorporating IDP into your low-code or no-code workflows creates a world of comprehensive, efficient, and precise document processing right within your application. It bridges the gap between structured and unstructured data, enabling you to automate tasks and leverage the power of AI-driven document processing while taking advantage of the speed and simplicity of citizen development.
Integrating IDP software with your low-code or no-code applications brings a new level of functionality and boosts automation rates in your workflows.
