What Are Low-Code and No-Code Platforms?
Low-code and no-code platforms are visual toolkits that let your team build applications and automate tasks without needing deep coding skills. Think of them as the “Lego blocks” for business processes snap together, customise, and deploy.
Low-code: These platforms use some code, usually through simple scripting or drag-and-drop logic. They appeal to business analysts, “citizen developers,” and IT teams that want to prototype quickly.
No-code: These are even simpler. No scripts, just configuration. Perfect for non-technical staff wanting to automate repetitive work or data flows.
Examples: Microsoft Power Apps, Monday.com, Airtable, ServiceNow, Zapier, and more.
What Do They Actually Do?
When done properly, low-code and no-code with AI support can:
1. Eliminate Operational Bottlenecks
Imagine routing approvals instantly, removing manual handoffs, and automating repetitive tasks that slow teams down.
2. Cut Delivery Times by 60–80%
Real stat: Companies using low-code deliver up to 10x faster than traditional dev teams (Forrester).
3. Reduce Cost of Development & Maintenance
No more long development cycles or expensive custom builds for simple workflows.
4. Improve Data Visibility
Apps pulling in real-time data from CRMs, ERPs, spreadsheets, and legacy systems, all centralised.
5. Empower Business Teams Without Losing Control
Your non-technical teams can prototype.
Your technical teams can govern.
6. Make AI Automations Actually Work
Most “AI for SMEs” articles talk about chatbots and generic tools. But with consulting support you get targeted automations such as:
- Predictive analytics
- AI-based document processing
- Smart routing
- Automated notifications
- Data enrichment
This isn’t theory. It’s what companies are doing right now to scale without headcount bloat. According to Gartner, 70% of new business applications will use low-code or no-code technologies by 2025.

How Do AI Consulting Services Fit In?
Here’s where the story gets interesting. Most businesses buy a “toolkit” (the platform), but not the “know-how” (the strategy to extract value). AI Consulting Services provider like Transputec bridge this gap.
What Do AI Consulting Services Actually Do?
Strategic Assessment: Identify where automation, AI, or workflow redesign delivers the fastest ROI (not just what’s trendy).
Solution Design: Frame and prototype real solutions, not toy projects think automations, dashboards, or AI-enhanced apps that move revenue, compliance, or productivity metrics.
Integration: Connect your low-code/no-code tools to existing systems, pulling data from silos (finance, CRM, HR) for real visibility and action.
Maintenance & Evolution: Big win here AI consultants keep automation running, train staff, and tune for business changes.
Micro-example:
Imagine your sales ops team wrestling with spreadsheet chaos. A low-code platform promises a fix, but silos persist. An AI consultant steps in, mapping data flows, applying predictive logic (like churn risk or lead scoring), and integrating with your CRM and email—in a matter of weeks, not quarters.
Who Actually Uses These Services?
SMEs drowning in manual processes, where “IT” is still just a person (or half a person) doing their best.
Large businesses with teams spread across functions, locations, and digital systems where “app sprawl” and shadow IT slow progress.
High-growth startups scaling fast but without armies of technical staff.
Sector-specific leaders legal, financial, logistics needing compliant, out-of-the-box solutions they can trust.
Why do these leaders rely on external AI Consulting Services?
Internal teams don’t have time or deep automation expertise.
You want true ROI, not hobbyist apps that only work for one person.
You need clear accountability fail fast, fix fast, scale fast.
Why Is This Important for You (and What’s at Stake)?
Let’s get practical. Without expert AI Consulting Services, you risk:
Wasting budget on unused or misconfigured platforms.
Months lost building “solutions” no one adopts.
Critical data stuck in silos with compliance headaches.
Shadow IT risks and lack of governance.
Missed opportunities for revenue or cost savings.
With the right approach, you unlock:
30–60% faster automation of core business processes ([Forrester study]).
Enterprise-grade security and data validation, not random spreadsheet links or disconnected apps.
Tangible cost savings: Fewer IT tickets, less license bloat, more work from the same staff.
Happier users: Teams that actually like (and use) the tools you provide.
How Does it Work in Practice?
Let’s simplify:
1. Scoping Session
You, the business leader, define real pain points. Not “let’s automate everything,” but “how do we reduce process X by half or cut error rates?”
2. Blueprint & Prototype
The AI consulting team builds a minimal viable version, focused on a quick win tied to a business outcome maybe an invoice process, an HR onboarding, a service ticket flow.
3. Integration
They ensure your data plays nicely across the SaaS tools and legacy systems you already have, minimising manual double-entry or data loss.
4. Automation & AI Layer
Next, consultants overlay simple AI or advanced logic think predictive analytics, smart routing, or document recognition on top of your low-code/no-code foundation.
5. User Training & Governance
The tools land with clear ownership and support, not “hope they figure it out.” That’s critical for sustainable results.
6. Iterate and Scale
What works gets rolled out wider consultants monitor, report, and tune for new needs.
"Real-World" Example (Hypothetical, but True to Life)
Picture a 150-person logistics SME.
Problem: Error-strewn manual order processing, unpaid invoices, late deliveries.
What they tried: Off-the-shelf no-code tool; adoption fizzled.
What worked:
AI Consulting Services scoped the root process blockers, then built an automated order processing flow using a low-code platform, with live dashboarding and predictive delivery tracking.Result: 4x faster order approvals, 30% drop in late shipments, 2 FTEs freed up for customer-facing work.
Conclusion
AI Consulting Services, paired with low-code and no-code platforms, let you achieve the genuine business outcomes you actually care about: less manual work, faster processes, and greater agility without hiring an army of developers. It’s not about technology for its own sake it’s about unlocking operational value, making your teams more effective, and letting you sleep at night knowing the tools just work.
