Pillir: Making child’s play of SAP supply chain app design

PillirAn Intellyx BrainCandy Update

Pillir is filling the technical talent gap required for creating SaaS and cloud-based supply chain transformations with a ‘Lego-block-like’ drag and drop functional application builder.

Since our last coverage of the low-code vendor in 2021, they have evolved from their low-code SAP modernization roots to building a digital experience wrapper for plugging in a growing set of pre-built workflows to quickly build supply chain apps for tracking the flow of goods and inventory through warehouses and logistics networks. 

The solution uses literal Scratch development blocks which were developed at MiT for teaching programming to children, enforcing the proper fit of SAP or other core ERP and SCM system inputs and outputs when functional modules are assembled.

Once activated, apps are ready for migration to the SAP 4/HANA cloud platform, or they can be published as standalone web apps. Behind the scenes, the solution’s middle-tier platform can be called on via APIs while talking to other systems with expected REST-style integration.
