What the product is

Codejig is a low-code application development platform crafted to help you build business apps faster, run as a cloud platform with tools for deploying and managing the web apps you build. Its homepage slogan is "Develop in Days, Use for Years," and it says the platform can deliver software for a business of any scale, from a landing page to large enterprise software. The company is careful to say that low-code is not the same as no-code: low-code platforms involve an element of coding, while no-code platforms are for people with little or no coding knowledge. Codejig is written for citizen and business developers, and for professional developers who want to skip the routine work. The company argues that no-code platforms usually offer limited integration and poor scaling, while low-code suits enterprise needs through a general-purpose design, scalable architecture and full integration coverage. The site lists contact points in the USA, Bahrain, Malta and Ukraine, has an EN and UA language switch, and shows a 2013 to 2026 copyright range.

What you build and how

The editor is a drag-and-drop builder. You drag object fields onto forms to make feature-rich interfaces, and the company says you do not have to be a designer to build custom web pages. It describes a visual approach to rapid application development that helps business professionals design front ends that carry a brand's design elements, with attention to accessibility, usability, responsive design, security and scalability.

Logic is where the low-code part shows. Codejig has a visual, Blockly-based language called CJ blocks, made of graphical puzzle-blocks that stand for variables, loops, queries and other programming concepts. You connect blocks to make scripts, and at compilation time the visual scripts are translated into Java and JavaScript. Developers can mix CJ blocks with Java or JavaScript snippets and import custom Java and JavaScript libraries. The company says you may need Java to integrate with third-party applications or JavaScript for a specific UI design. For a citizen developer with little experience, it suggests a 3-minute introductory video or a short crash course in programming, naming the one at code.org.

On the data side, the homepage says you can design an application on top of your existing database in 5 minutes, and migrate to a new system while keeping records in the same place. Process automation covers workflows of any complexity, and scheduled tasks can run regular work automatically. The homepage adds that you can change an app when needed and deploy the new version instantly, and that system updates roll out smoothly. The platform includes permissions, change tracking and information management, and built-in reporting: analytical drill-down reports and customizable, templated Word, PDF, Excel and XML reports.

The homepage lists the kinds of things the builder is for:

  • Complex apps: manufacturing, people and finances, terms, contracts and assets in one application, with full customization so any resource or activity can be modeled as interconnected instances.
  • E-commerce apps: B2B and B2C webshops or customer and partner portals of various sophistication levels, with products shown as cards, modal and non-modal pages, tables and trees, and connected to internal accounting and management information.
  • Reporting apps, as above.
  • Enterprise solutions: the company's own example is Codejig ERP, a business suite with more than 600 database tables that handles millions of transactions. The site presents it as proof of what the builder can make.
  • Websites: any web layout with SEO support. An organization can run a public website and an internal app, such as an ERP, on a single web application. The application supports multiple domains and landing pages, and pages can use different CSS-based themes at different access levels.
  • Integrations: connect an app to third-party hardware such as surveillance cameras, smart house devices and POS terminals, and operate the devices automatically or on an event.

The mobile story is specific. Codejig generates web apps in a mobile-friendly layout by default, and the site says it can also generate native apps for Android and iOS. Users and developers get access to phone features such as GPS positioning, camera and speech recognition. The builder page adds that an app can be reached from any smartphone, tablet or PC.

Security and access are described in the same terms. The builder page lists a permissions and roles system with fine-grained object-level access control for anonymous, authorized, role-based and custom permissions, plus single sign-on so one login covers several applications. The platform is multilingual: the interface and the content and data can be translated into any language without changing the application structure.

What the pages state about plans, limits and trust

The site publishes no prices or plan names; the way in is a START FREE button or a demo. The demo form says you will see the builder overview, the platform structure, the main features, user experience tools and relevant use cases. The site also links to documentation, examples, partners, a community area and a blog, and its solutions menu lists Codejig ERP editions for healthcare, manufacturing, banking and government.

On compliance, the homepage says one thing plainly: "Codejig is certified by ISO 27001:2013." It ties that to data safety alongside user permissions and change tracking.

Customer quotes on the homepage come from named people. Anssi Pyysing of Teerenpeli says the company is very pleased with the Brewery ERP solution, which automated the brewery's business processes and improved its productivity and sales. Søren Thompsen of InterLogic calls it a process management framework rather than just ERP or accounting software, and says its accounting has become far more efficient. Peter Mejer-Rasmussen says the system saves a lot of work: a full-time employee used to handle the job during reporting periods, and now she spends far less time on it and helps colleagues instead. Iryna Kamenieva of SD Group says the platform's versatility and the team's expertise got them to their management goals unexpectedly fast. These are the company's chosen quotes, and they describe ERP-style projects built on the platform.

Who it suits and who it does not

Codejig suits a company with a heavy process: manufacturing, a brewery, finance and contracts, or a webshop tied to internal accounting. It also suits an IT department that wants a builder it can extend with Java or JavaScript, since the company says professional developers should be able to work with the platform immediately. A business developer who is willing to learn the block language and some programming concepts is the audience the site describes.

It is a poorer fit for someone who wants the quickest path from a blank page to a simple form or landing page without learning anything. The company itself says no-code tools are the first choice for non-technical users building a small niche application, and positions Codejig for enterprise needs. Pricing comes through the company rather than a public price list. The builder page names Codejig ERP as the flagship example, so the evidence for smaller, simpler apps is thinner than for large ones.
