With its drag-and-drop interface, business users can configure and modify workflows themselves without IT tickets or change requests.

Manch is a process digitization platform with pre-integrated capabilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most enterprises don&#8217;t need another tool to build apps\u2014they need to digitize existing processes quickly with real-time data verification. Consider typical challenges: onboarding partners, validating vendor information, ensuring compliance, managing master data across systems. These don&#8217;t require building new applications; they require configuring existing business processes with integrated verification capabilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mendix approaches this through <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.mendix.com\/developerportal\/deploy\/populate-user-type\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>portal templates and external user licensing<\/u><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, requiring developers to build and customize applications for each use case.
