Low-code and no-code: How to automate business processes in 2025

In 2025, business process automation is no longer the exclusive prerogative of large IT teams or external integrators. Thanks to the development of low-code and no-code platforms, process owners — HR, accountants, logisticians, department heads — can independently create solutions for their needs without deep programming knowledge.

What are low-code and no-code

• Low-code — an approach that allows creating applications or automations with minimal programming. The interface is usually visual, but writing individual code fragments is allowed.
• No-code — completely visual development that does not require writing a single line of code. Users assemble a process from blocks, forms, and conditions, like from a constructor.

These tools have become popular due to:

• speed of implementing changes;
• minimizing IT department involvement;
• flexibility — especially for companies where processes frequently change;
• the ability to quickly prototype and test new ideas.
