PLATMA's Success: How SMEs Transform their Workflows with Software Tools
Amid the familiar challenges that many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face—such as managing increasing workloads with limited resources—passionate entrepreneurs Maksym Prokhorov and Yaroslav Kologryvov have set out to create a sustainable solution. They developed an all-in-one, AI-powered software platform known as PLATMA. Recognising that manual workflows often stifle creativity and innovation, they were motivated to build a tool that would empower businesses to work more efficiently.
Based in Nicosia, Lisbon, and Ukraine, this tech startup brings over a decade of combined experience, making its insights and solutions particularly valuable for SMEs navigating the complexities of modern business. But how will SMEs benefit beyond reducing operational costs and freeing up valuable time? Let’s have a look:
Increased Efficiency and Cost Reduction
Particularly in the MENA region, operational efficiency remains a critical concern. Studies indicate that entrepreneurs spend over 70% of their time on mundane activities.
To combat these challenges, innovative software solutions like PLATMA have emerged that empower users to create bespoke, ready-to-use applications without requiring technical expertise. As Yaroslav noted, "We wanted to offer a platform that allows entrepreneurs to streamline workflows and automate back-office tasks without the need for technical skills or developer help."
Improved User Interface
Isn’t the promise of automation a game-changer for SMEs? With customisable UI options and intuitive design elements that leverage drag-and-drop functionalities, users can easily create sophisticated applications that meet their specific requirements. The founders emphasised, "This high degree of customisation enhances usability and overall employee satisfaction.”
Lesser Dependency and More Strategic Growth
Without the need to depend on technical developers, these platforms empower business owners and their teams to take control of their workflows and shift their focus from daily operational challenges to actual business growth activities. By reducing reliance on costly developers and offering a straightforward, user-friendly interface, PLATMA gives businesses the tools they need to stay ahead of the curve.
Future of No-Code Platforms
Reflecting on the transformative potential of these technologies for SMEs, the future of no-code platforms is here to stay. The founders truly believe that businesses operating without it will fall behind the competition in the next five years. Those who adapt to this solution will handle operational tasks quickly and affordably. As a result, businesses using these platforms will be at least 70% faster than those who don’t.
Increased Efficiency and Cost Reduction
With a limited number of hours in the day, SMEs that found themselves bogged down by repetitive administrative tasks can now utilise a software tool that automates much of the documentation process. As a result, staff can increase efficiency and lead the charge toward success.
Finally, in a world where agility and efficiency can make or break a business, PLATMA’s story exemplifies the profound impact that the right software tools can have on SMEs. As a testament to their solution, one of the co-founders stated, "One of our recent clients saved more than 90% on development costs using our platform." With that being said, the future looks promising, thanks to solutions like PLATMA that empower SMEs to thrive.
