LATAM: Why Low Code development is ideal for the IT sector
June 4, 2025Low Code: Software Industry Leaders Working Together
For a long time, there has been a gap between business leaders who define the strategy and IT leaders responsible for implementing it. Traditional software development—with its long cycles and technical complexity—has often exacerbated this divide, leading to frustration and delays in achieving common goals.
But the landscape is changing thanks to the emergence of Low Code development platforms. This approach is becoming a powerful bridge, enabling leaders from different areas to work in true collaboration, translating strategic vision into tangible digital solutions much more effectively.
Low Code: Use Cases That Drive Collaboration
Let’s imagine a common scenario: the Operations Manager of a growing logistics company in Latin America faces a critical challenge—inefficient management of multiple transportation providers. Manual shipment tracking, scattered communication, and lack of real-time visibility result in delays, unexpected costs, and increasing customer dissatisfaction. Traditionally, solving this issue would involve drafting complex requirements for a new system, holding long meetings with the IT team, evaluating external software vendors, and a rollout that could take months.

With a Low Code platform implemented within the organization, the story takes a different turn. The Internal Solutions Development Leader provides the Low Code environment and guides the Operations Manager in transforming business ideas into functional applications. In addition, they establish security and governance guidelines, ensure integration with existing systems, and validate the scalability of the solution. Meanwhile, the Operations Manager, with deep business knowledge, actively participates in the visual design of the application, using prebuilt components that allow them to translate functional needs into real features. The IT perspective is crucial, as the development leader ensures the solution meets business requirements, is robust, secure, and aligned with the company’s overall technology strategy.
The result: a comprehensive solution for supplier management, implemented within weeks, providing real-time visibility into shipment status, enabling centralized communication with vendors, automating performance reporting, and allowing early identification of potential bottlenecks. This new tool reduces operational costs by 15% by optimizing route planning and minimizing delays.

Another common scenario can be found in the financial sector. For example, the Operations Manager of a regional bank faces challenges in the loan approval process. The reliance on legacy systems and manual processes causes delays and affects customer satisfaction.
In this scenario, the Operations Manager partners with the Director of Technology Innovation. From the IT side, the Director not only provides the Low Code platform but also leads the architecture of the new solution, ensuring compliance with banking regulations and data security standards. Together, they map out the approval process and design an intuitive digital workflow. The Manager contributes detailed knowledge of the operational process and customer expectations, while the Director and her IT team provide expert technical support, manage integration with legacy systems, and ensure that automation is implemented without compromising the integrity or performance of the bank’s technology ecosystem.
In just a few weeks, they implement a new application that reduces loan approval time by 40%.
Low Code: Data That Speaks for Itself
- A study by Forrester found that organizations adopting Low Code platforms experience a 50% increase in application delivery speed. This agility is directly linked to smoother collaboration between business and IT teams.
- Gartner estimates that by 2025, 70% of new enterprise applications will use Low Code or No Code technologies. This widespread adoption highlights the value organizations are finding in these collaborative approaches.
- Companies that have implemented Low Code report a significant reduction in development costs, partly due to less dependence on highly specialized developers for basic tasks and greater efficiency in team collaboration.
The Future of Business Collaboration Is Low Code
Low Code development is not just a technology tool; it’s a catalyst for a new paradigm of business collaboration. By enabling business leaders and IT leaders to work more closely together, organizations can achieve their strategic goals faster, more efficiently, and with greater innovation.
The gap between strategy and execution is closing thanks to these platforms that invite diverse areas to actively participate in the creation of applications. Low Code fosters cross-team collaboration, promotes mutual understanding, and creates space for business success.
