Advantages of low-code in Intranet Portals: Enhancing the visualization of internal data in a major retail chain through low-code applications

Internship Report presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Information Systems and Technologies ManagementLIDL, a major multinational retail chain with branches spread across the globe, has many internal processes that aren’t centralized. In each country branch, information is dispersed within several platforms, in different formats, which in turn makes data harder to analyze, slowing down procedures that are frequently used within each division of the major retail chain. With this problem in mind LIDL has decided to invest in Low-Code, giving the liberty to each country to develop its own internal portal to counter this problem. With this, each branch centralizes all its essential information in one place. By choosing low-code, LIDL has given each country the freedom of developing the necessary applications in record time, providing a way to experience omnichannel experiences without giant budgets and costly development teams. The results of this study show why portal development should be done with Low-Code, the synergy that is built between the two concepts and the many advantages that follow. To defend these claims, the work done during my internship will be showcased and analyzed
