Software Customization
Build custom
software with
low-code
Many organizations are stuck with standardized IT infrastructure, which is holding them back from pursuing digital transformation and creating tailored solutions. Low-code offers a visual development platform to extend and customize existing software at a fraction of the time and cost compared to traditional development.
Freedom in Development
Extensibility options of Betty Blocks
Low-code technology is the catalyst for digital innovation and, when utilized correctly, can make a significant business impact. It allows development teams to create fully functional applications rapidly while still adhering to the practical guidelines of the SDLC.
Agile Solution Customization
Using Betty Blocks for application customization
Developing custom solutions can be a lengthy endeavor for many organizations. With Betty Blocks, we give users the right tooling to build applications without code while still maintaining the ability to customize them to fit their use case. Customization can be done on a design level but can also reach beyond that by giving the option to integrate with external APIs, databases, and non-native processes. These options give our customers the freedom and flexibility to create agile solutions at scale while utilizing only a fraction of the development time and costs compared to traditional application development.
Theme builder
Design at the Speed of No-Code
The theme builder is a versatile customization toolkit available on the Betty Blocks platform. Here, users can edit their application’s design using hex codes and typography to fit company branding styles - this is our no-code take on how a developer would add CSS code to create visually appealing designs. Individual components like headers, footers, buttons, and pop-ups can be manipulated to display in a desired color, complete with shading and border colors. Additionally, branded logos and custom font styles can be uploaded, tailoring the application to your organization’s unique branding guidelines.
Add custom models
Seamless Data & Enterprise Integration
The Betty Blocks platform is equipped with various model types designed to allow users to connect, integrate, and utilize custom data sources within the platform. For platform-native data handling, data models define how your Betty Blocks application stores and processes data. Remote models come with pre-defined formatting, allowing for direct external data integrations. Schema models and remote models connect your application with external sources, build connectors, and create full-fledged custom APIs. This allows developers to integrate enterprise solutions such as SAP, Google Products Suite, Salesforce, Hubspot, or other mission-critical tools that your organization relies on.
Define actions
Take back control from the legacy systems holding you back
The Action builder is the powerhouse behind the logic and functionalities of applications built with Betty Blocks. Anything from user authentication to creating automated workflows is designed with the Action builder. Using a visual approach to create HTTP(s) action steps, users are able to compose custom action flows to define event triggers, conditions, loops, and API calls within their application to determine how it should respond to the user inputs. Actions can be defined on a global level or per application component by creating custom records for it, giving users the necessary leeway to develop unique applications that fit into the existing IT infrastructure.
Core Extensions
Extend solution architecture
Standardized software can temporarily bridge gaps within the IT infrastructure but is not viable as a long-term solution when businesses are ready to scale upwards. However, replacing business solutions that are deeply embedded within existing operational workflows and processes is cumbersome and costly. With Betty Blocks, there are various ways that internal software can extend beyond its original scope to fulfill feature requirements. This can be done by simply building the missing functionality using our low-code platform and connecting it through an API call. Some examples include:
User-facing portals
Create custom branded portals to promote self-service.
Data synchronization
Connect any data source to internal business applications.
Authentication methods
Add custom security controls like SSO or 2FA.
Secure Access Governance
Governed application access
Democratize the software development life cycle with full governance in check. Within the Betty Blocks platform, we have the option to assign several developer personas to users, which specify their roles and permissions. User provisioning can be created on a company, organizational, and application level and can be configured per user as needed. This ensures that viewing and editing rights are only reserved for the relevant employees. To provide an extra level of application security, the platform is equipped with native authentication methods like SSO and 2FA protocols.
