Checkbox is an award-winning no code platform which allows users to build their own business apps for process automation. Apps are built using Checkbox’s intuitive drag and drop interface, which requires no technical knowledge. This empowers users to create and deploy solutions in hours, not months, without writing a single line of code.

Because Checkbox is truly no-code, users can build and maintain apps without relying on IT or Checkbox as a vendor, providing greater control over development cost and timelines and flexibility.
