Why no-code/low-code middleware is the better choice for interface integration

The integration of systems and interfaces is often the decisive factor for the success of e-commerce projects. Especially when it comes to acquiring large customers, it is not enough to simply demonstrate expertise in integration and automation - you also need the right tools. As an e-commerce agency, you not only want to optimize your customers’ processes, but also make them future-proof. Flexibility and scalability are important here, but above all you want things to go faster and shorten the project runtimes for interface projects.

How does low-code middleware work in e-commerce?

No-code/low-code middleware can be the perfect solution to master precisely these challenges. With this middleware, you become a “citizen developer” and work independently without the need for in-depth programming knowledge. You can quickly adapt to the specific requirements of your customers - even for complex and demanding projects. In this way, you create smart and sustainable solutions that both inspire your customers and give your agency the boost it needs to stay one step ahead of the competition.

What are the advantages of no-code/low-code middleware?

1. fast implementation

Thanks to prefabricated modules and intuitive operation, integrations and automations can be implemented without programming knowledge.

2. scalability and reusability

The processes created with middleware can be used for different projects. This not only saves time, but also makes the system cost-efficient in the long term.

3. cost and time savings

Compared to individual programming, middleware solutions are immediately ready for use and require only low initial costs.

4. future-proof flexibility

Middleware platforms are designed to be easily adapted to new requirements without the need for in-depth technical understanding.

5. latest version of the solution

Systems and interfaces change. With middleware, integrations always stay up to date.

Important factors when selecting no-code/low-code middleware

The introduction of no-code/low-code middleware for integration and automation can be a forward-looking and profitable solution for companies that want to optimize their processes. But how do you find the solution that perfectly matches your requirements? Thorough research is crucial to ensure that the implementation process runs smoothly and that all relevant factors are taken into account.

In another blog post, we highlighted 5 reasons why no-code tools can drive digitalization and automation in companies. Read our blog article “How do no-code and low-code tools help you with interfaces, automation and integration of APIs?”

Here are the most important questions you should answer when choosing the right tool for your interface projects:

• Do the pre-built integrations fit your requirements?
• What functions or modules does the solution offer?
• How compatible is the solution with your customers’ systems and can it be easily integrated?
• Is the solution scalable and can it grow with your company?
• How user-friendly is the application and is it intuitive to use?
• Are the necessary data protection and security standards complied with?
• Are all costs transparent and comprehensible?
