According to Gartner forecasts, by the end of 2026, over 80% of large enterprises will combine RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and low-code platforms. This synergy not only automates routine operations but also allows businesses to quickly adapt their logic to changing market conditions.
Benefits of combining RPA and low-code
Traditional custom development for every process is costly and time-consuming. RPA effectively automates repetitive tasks by mimicking human actions, but it relies on stable user interfaces. Low-code platforms, in turn, offer visual tools to quickly build applications and integrate data without deep coding.
In a combined architecture, RPA handles routine data collection and legacy system integration, while the low-code platform provides overall orchestration, manages business logic, and creates user interfaces. This delivers the following benefits:
- Faster development and flexible process customization;
- Reduced implementation costs;
- Reliable API integration and solution scalability.
Key use cases
This technology combination is highly effective in processes with high levels of human-system interaction:
- Order processing: a robot gathers data, while low-code manages approval logic and CRM/ERP integration.
- HR processes: automating document collection and approval workflows from onboarding to offboarding.
- Financial operations: invoice reconciliation, payment processing, and data verification.
- Document management: extracting data from documents using RPA and managing their lifecycle via low-code.
Solutions from Ukrainian developers
Market players are actively implementing integrated tools. Built on the UnityBase low-code platform by InBase, the Scriptum system allows businesses to quickly configure complex business processes and integrate AI components for document management.
Softengi integrates intelligent AI agents and RPA tools into enterprise low-code solutions to handle large volumes of routine operations. IQusion and Data Management IG focus on systems integration, implementing flexible BPM systems and document management solutions for the public and corporate sectors.
What is at stake for the industry
The shift towards combining RPA and low-code represents a major transition from expensive, slow custom development to agile, hybrid automation. For businesses and the IT industry, this synergy lowers the barrier to digital transformation, reduces implementation costs, and enables rapid adaptation to market shifts. Furthermore, the active involvement of Ukrainian developers demonstrates that local IT providers are well-equipped to deliver high-tech, integrated solutions globally.
What to do next
To successfully implement this hybrid automation approach, organizations should take the following steps:
- Identify target processes: Start with high-interaction workflows such as order processing, HR onboarding, or financial reconciliation.
- Combine technologies strategically: Use RPA for routine data collection and legacy system integration, and low-code for orchestration and user interfaces.
- Leverage local expertise: Explore ready-to-use platforms and integration services from Ukrainian developers like InBase, Softengi, or IQusion to speed up deployment.
