How Mendix made a difference
Low-code platforms are reshaping how businesses approach digital transformation — and Mendix is leading the way. In this article, we explore how three companies from different industries used Mendix to solve critical challenges, accelerate development, and drive real business value. From manufacturing to insurance to public services, these success stories show the power of fast, flexible app creation.
What Is Mendix?
Mendix is an enterprise low‑code application development platform. It enables companies to build complex business applications much faster than traditional coding methods. Users benefit from visual development tools, pre-built components, and built‑in governance and security. Mendix also integrates artificial intelligence and general AI services (Maia, Amazon Bedrock, ChatGPT, etc.) to support smarter, more productive apps. Whether a startup or a global corporation, Mendix allows teams to deliver reliable apps quickly and scale with confidence.

1. AI‑Native global payroll platform (datascalehr)
A payroll‑focused startup called datascalehr built an AI‑enabled global payroll platform using Mendix—starting from scratch and reaching production in just eight months.
Challenges faced:
-
Payroll complexity across many countries

What Mendix delivered:
-
A complete, certified platform with certified infrastructure and development tools for security and uptime
-
Flexible, fast prototyping so datascalehr could adapt features quickly from user feedback
-
Support for AI/ML integrations: now about 85 % of customer workload is automated by intelligence features in the app
Results and business impact:

Six times faster feature development than traditional coding
-
Core product released in 8 months
-
A new industry standard: scalable, user‑friendly payroll management that shifts company focus from technical execution to customer experience
After implementing low-code, approximately 85% of the customer workload is now automated through the app's intelligent features.
2. Jabil: Transforming Manufacturing at Scale
Jabil, a global leader in electronics manufacturing, used Mendix to unify IT and operations and build over 55 custom apps across its global sites—delivering manufacturing applications at scale.
Challenges addressed:
-
Siloed IT and operations, slow delivery of custom solutions
-
High costs, technical debt, limited user empowerment
How Mendix helped:
-
Chosen after rigorous evaluation, Mendix scored highest on security, flexibility, and support
-
Enabled collaboration: operations can create or customize apps (e.g. MES front‑end) while IT retains governance
-
Apps built for production oversight, data visualization, internal processes integrated with MES or SAP
Outcomes achieved:
-
Delivered 94 % of projects on time and within budget
-
Saved an estimated $10 million in development and licensing costs
-
Shifted from backlog‑driven IT to a business‑led transformation engine across their sites
After implementing low-code solutions by Mendix, saved an estimated $10 million in development and licensing costs.
3. Vivix Vidros Planos: digital transformation in glass manufacturing
Vivix, a modern Brazilian flat‑glass plant producing around 900 tons per day, transformed its factory operations with Mendix and the AWS ecosystem—including Amazon Bedrock for generative AI features.
Challenges:
-
Reliance on Excel and paper workflows
-
Slow knowledge sharing, manual data consolidation into SAP
-
Quality and complaint resolution processes that took days
Mendix solutions:
-
Created apps for checklists, product traceability, quality control, CAPEX tracking, real-time furnace monitoring, and batch profiling (“Glass DNA”)
-
Developed a chatbot called “Virtual Engineer,” integrated with Amazon Bedrock, to accelerate issue resolution and support staff on the shop floor
Measurable impact:
-
Reduced complaint resolution from five days to under one day
-
Cut production issue resolution from hours to minutes
-
Saved approximately 6,000 hours of manual work in just one year
-
Improved operational transparency, precision, and faster response times (80 % faster response, 85 % reduction in processing time)
What these stories show?
These three real‑world stories show the power of Mendix as more than just a low‑code platform—it is a digital transformation enabler:
-
datascalehr launched an AI‑native global payroll platform in just eight months, shifting complexity management to business logic and AI.
-
Jabil turned Mendix into a strategic tool, aligning operations and IT to build manufacturing apps at scale and dramatically reduce costs.
-
Vivix eliminated manual workflows and achieved smarter, AI‑powered factory operations with real productivity gains and faster responses.
