2. Digital Technology Group redefines cybersecurity with low-code
Location: UK
Sector: manufacturing and supply chain
Digital Technology Group (DTG) is a digital transformation company that supports manufacturing organisations across life sciences in automating and digitalising their processes. In response to client needs, DTG developed a cybersecurity solution designed to manage the specific risks around operational technology (OT) within the manufacturing environment.
Before joining the ISV program, DTG’s solution was built on traditional web application architecture, which did not provide the flexibility or development pace to meet the evolving needs of its clients. However, in partnership with Mendix, DTG has re-engineered their existing solution onto the Mendix platform, providing businesses with a powerful application for assessing and managing industrial cyber risk across the enterprise. With the power of low-code, DTG has full control of its solution and is able to extend and adapt it to customer needs quickly.
3. Simplifying Vendor Management with Low-code
Location: India
Sector: Procurement and vendor management
BPAAS Solutions, a startup technology company specialising in business process as a service (BPaaS), is building on Mendix two solutions: Vendora and NFA (Note for Approval), aiming to reduce delivery timelines with faster realisation of business benefits.
Vendora simplifies vendor management by offering features such as onboarding, government API integration, statutory document storage, vendor management, online PO issuance, invoice uploading, PO flip, vendor query handling against invoices, and payment tracking. The system can be integrated with ERPs like SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics, and other third-party applications.
NFA streamlines and automates procurement approval processes within the organisation by helping keep track of all approvals and related notes/documents in a single system that can be integrated with ERPs such as SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics, and other third-party applications. NFA comes with multiple initiation channels where users and requesters can initiate the approvals and keep track of how approvals are moving internally and how many of them are still pending.
4. Making engineering design simpler and more efficient with Vectra
Location: USA
Sector: Engineering design
Vectra’s AI platform automates the generation of engineering/MBD/3D Annotation from 3D CAD models by plugging into various CAD platforms. Focused on the manufacturing and construction sectors, their groundbreaking RPA reduces the lag between engineering design and manufacturing by 4-12 weeks. The platform also automates the detection of dimensional errors in 3D CAD models, eliminating potential build errors upfront.
As part of the ISV program, Vectra is using Mendix to host its rules engines independently of the main code base and rebuild both existing and new rules using Mendix. This enables a vastly more maintainable architecture.
