Visual interface, no code required
With its visual interface, Unqork’s platform enables nonprogrammers — primarily business users — to create apps without writing any code. This means they can build apps faster, and they’re cheaper and easier to maintain as well, said Jason Bloomberg, an analyst at Intellyx in Suffolk, Va.
For instance, Unqork worked with London-based Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd. to build apps for the U.S. government’s the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Using Unqork, Deloitte was able to deliver their core PPP app in a week, said Rabih Ramadi, head of financial services at Unqork.
“Unqork offers a no-code platform that provides no opportunity for hand-coding,” Bloomberg said. “The closest it comes is the ability to import CSS content on the front end and accessing custom code via APIs on the back end.”
In addition, Unqork’s platform is strictly SaaS, with no on-premises option.
“Each customer gets its own tenant, but Unqork keeps every customer on the same version of the platform to ensure consistency,” Bloomberg said.
