Businesses are constantly seeking innovative ways to streamline their processes, enhance efficiency, and deliver exceptional value to their customers. One such paradigm shift in the realm of applications is the rise of for-purpose apps or bespoke applications. These purpose-built applications, designed to accomplish a specific goal or business process, are transforming the way organizations operate in scenarios where a combination of human and system intervention aids in process automation. In this blog post, we will explore the world of for-purpose apps and explain how eQ Technologic is at the forefront in shaping the future of Digital Transformation.

What are For-Purpose Apps? 

For-Purpose Apps, also called Smart/Bespoke Apps as the name suggests, are applications specifically crafted to serve a particular business objective or function and solve a targeted set of challenges. Unlike generic applications, for-purpose apps are meticulously designed to address and streamline specific business functions, resulting in notable productivity gains and better user experience. These Apps are crafted with a deep understanding of the complexities involved in a particular business domain, often requiring seamless integration with data from various systems. In the context of eQ Technologic, For-Purpose Apps excel at efficiently solving and simplifying targeted tasks, ensuring user satisfaction by effectively managing data from diverse sources and presenting a unified, purpose-driven solution.

Our Approach: 

eQ Technologic is the maker of eQube® Data as a Service Platform that establishes a Data Fabric with a connected network of integrated data, applications, and devices. It has embraced the concept of For-Purpose Apps to empower businesses across diverse industries to meet their business demands while transforming their data and processes to digital formats.

Let us explore how eQ Technologic approaches the development and implementation of For-Purpose Apps to drive meaningful business outcomes-

Purpose Built:

We understand that one size does not fit all. Our For-Purpose Apps are designed and tailored to address specific pain points of a business and deliver the required business outcomes. Whether it's optimizing business processes spanning multiple systems to drive efficiency, data federation to create a single source of truth or orchestrating multi-system consolidation, eQ Technologic’s apps are purpose-built for each use case.

Seamless Integration with existing systems: 

One of the most formidable challenges lies in establishing connections with diverse applications, managing security protocols, retrieving real-time contextual data, and subsequently exposing these elements as APIs for consumption within purpose-built applications. Our approach involves the use of data virtualization as part of an integration strategy that seamlessly navigates the complexities of disparate systems. Through intelligent data-fetching mechanisms and robust connectivity protocols, our For-Purpose Apps not only surmount the hurdle of diverse application landscapes but also ensure the secure and efficient exposure of APIs. This granular level of connectivity guarantees a unified data ecosystem, empowering businesses to leverage a consolidated and streamlined data infrastructure for enhanced operational efficiency and strategic decision-making.

eQ recognizes the importance of interoperability and ensures that the For-Purpose Apps seamlessly integrate with a company's current application landscape. The eQube®-MI digital backbone connects to the System of Authorities (SoAs) of several native apps which minimizes disruptions and accelerates the adoption process. 

Agility and scalability: 

In a fast-paced business environment, agility is a differentiator. eQ Technologic's For-Purpose Apps are built with agility in mind, allowing businesses to adapt to changing requirements and scale their operations seamlessly. This flexibility ensures that the application grows with the business, providing sustained value over time. 

User-centric design: 

Usability is a top priority for eQ Technologic. We focus on creating For-Purpose Apps with intuitive and user-friendly interfaces. This user-centric design not only enhances user adoption but also contributes to increased productivity and efficiency within the deployed apps. 

Continuous improvement and support: 

eQ Technologic goes beyond just delivering applications, and it is committed to the ongoing success of its customers. Regular updates, performance optimizations, and responsive support are integral parts of eQ Technologic's approach, ensuring that organizations can rely on their For-Purpose Apps for sustained success and business resilience. 

Why do we use For-Purpose/Smart Apps: 

• Smart apps help in supporting complex processes that have a combination of both human tasks and digital workflows to ensure quick turnaround when deployed for executing Case Management for insurance companies. 


• For-purpose apps help when it comes to delivering employee forms, policies, and training modules as well as overall faster Employee or Customer Onboarding. 


• IoT sensor-based programmed maintenance alerts can be further redirected to allocate resources to service machines on a pre-fixed time and date and carry Predictive Maintenance. 


• Smart apps can be deployed to quickly route customer incidents to the right resources for effective service handling. These are useful in the shop floor of a Manufacturing Unit or Hotel Maintenance. 


• For-purpose apps help in Agile Factory Operations Management through production scheduling and optimization of tooling cycles and production batches. 


• With low-code smart apps, field technicians can manage Equipment Overhaul and Repair more efficiently. They can self-diagnose alert failures, initiate timely repairs, and create work orders to elicit prompt responses and avoid downtimes. 


• Insurance Claims can be auto-processed by reconciliation and validation before processing. 


• IT workload can be significantly reduced by resolving common helpdesk requests through low-code apps. The Automated Ticket Resolutions help in quick turnaround time. 


• These apps also help in quicker Work Order to Cash through automated work streams that leverage business rules & logic that propel quick payments. 


• Secure exposure of car assemblies through a single UI/screen is possible for a large automotive OEM through for-purpose apps that manage to integrate the internal (engineers of OEM) and external (automotive suppliers) ecosystem for MBSE validations. Suppliers to the OEM can securely share their CAD Data that gets validated by the OEM internally through a mission-critical smart business app. 


• Data from Multiple PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) & ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems can be federated and exposed to relevant users as per their roles and responsibilities through a for-purpose app. 


• Data from ashore and afloat instances can be synchronized in the Navy to provide model-based product support capability through an intuitive for-purpose app for sailors and technicians. This is extremely valuable to prevent catastrophic failures.  

As businesses navigate the complexities of the modern digital landscape, the adoption of for-purpose apps emerges as a strategic imperative. eQ Technologic's commitment to personalization, integration, agility, user-centric design, and ongoing support positions them as a leader in developing purpose built applications to shape the future of Digital Transformation. By leveraging for-purpose apps, organizations can not only overcome business challenges quickly but also unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation for their products and services. 

The eQube®-DaaS Platform enables rapid development of low-code, user-centric apps by federating data from multiple systems. eQube®-MI enables the development of REST or OData APIs by exposing data as a service from multiple systems. eQube®-BI consumes data from multiple systems and exposes it with detailed analysis or stunning intuitive visualizations. These capabilities are provided with the minimum need to write code. Given its web-based service-oriented open architecture, it is easy to expose these capabilities in any web UI/portal or any platform that enables the development of apps, such as Mendix or ThingWorx.
