Low-code is an approach to software development that allows users without specialized programming knowledge to quickly build and modify applications using intuitive visual tools and pre-built components. In practice, this means the ability to rapidly adapt systems to changing business needs without engaging IT teams.
According to the latest data, by 2025, as many as 70% of new business applications will be created using low-code/no-code technologies. Gartner forecasts that by 2026, up to 75% of new application projects will be executed based on low-code tools. Furthermore, by the end of 2025, as much as 80% of the users of these platforms will be so-called "citizen developers"—individuals outside of traditional IT departments—which attests to the democratization of software creation and the growing importance of low-code in organizations.

The low-code market is growing dynamically, with its value projected to reach $187 billion by 2030, driven by integration with technologies such as AI, machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). In 2024, low-code platforms are already shortening application development time by up to 90%, which translates to faster solution deployment and greater business flexibility.
Low-Code Trends for the Coming Years
The coming years will see further expansion of low-code across many business areas:
Democratization of Software Development: More and more business employees without programming skills will create applications and processes, increasing innovation and speed of response to changes.
Increased Adoption in Large Enterprises: Companies with extensive structures are increasingly turning to low-code, expecting scalability, security, and integration with existing systems.
Integration with AI and ML: Low-code platforms will increasingly use artificial intelligence for automation, data analysis, and process optimization, making them smarter and more efficient.
Application in Regulated Industries: There is growing interest in low-code in sectors with high compliance and security requirements, such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and finance.
Business Process Automation: Low-code will become the foundation for the rapid creation and modification of automated processes, which will increase overall operational efficiency.
The Advantage of the icmInspector QMS System in a Low-Code Context
The icmInspector QMS system leverages the low-code philosophy, giving users the ability to flexibly adapt their quality management processes. Instead of rigid, off-the-shelf solutions, you get a tool that allows you to quickly create and modify forms, reports, and workflows without the need for programmers. As a result, icmInspector QMS provides:
Rapid Implementation of Changes: You can react instantly to new audit requirements or internal needs by adjusting the system in real time.
Personalization: You can tailor the system to your company's unique requirements, not the other way around.
Increased Efficiency: End-users can independently improve their processes, which increases their engagement and effectiveness.
This is a strategic advantage that allows companies to remain leaders in a dynamic business environment.
The icmInspector QMS system perfectly aligns with this trend, offering advanced low-code functionality that allows quality specialists to:
Completely create and modify any inspection scenarios on their own, using nearly 40 types of control steps (e.g., photos, barcodes, NFC, numbers, list selections).
Independently add formulas and mathematical operations on collected data, thanks to the built-in icmScript language.
Have no quantitative limits on the number of scenarios, inspection locations, or inspections, ensuring full flexibility.
Automatically detect non-conformities based on predefined alarm templates, which enables a quick response to quality problems.
Ensure compliance with standards such as HACCP, GHP, GMP, ISO, and IFS, which is crucial for companies operating in regulated industries.
Low-code functionality is one of the fastest-growing trends in quality management systems. Forecasts indicate that in the coming years, this technology will dominate the creation of business applications, enabling faster, more flexible, and more efficient management of quality processes. Thanks to its advanced low-code capabilities, icmInspector QMS allows quality specialists and managers to have full control and quickly adapt the system to changing requirements, which translates into higher product quality and better regulatory compliance.
Is icmInspector QMS a low-code or no-code system?
Yes, the icmInspector QMS system can be classified as a low-code or no-code system. During the system implementation phase, client employees undergo training on how to independently create new inspection scenarios, build dependencies within inspections, and configure mechanisms for detecting non-conformities and notifications. All these activities do not require any programming knowledge. After the training, quality department teams are able to react immediately to the new needs of their organization and their customers.
