Zoho Creator
Launch Database Apps on Your Own. Zoho Creator with its drag-and-drop builder makes it extremely easy for business users to build their own custom apps. Custom Apps, from simple Contact Manager to complex CRM can be built in minutes with the drag-drop builder. No technical expertise required.

TrackVia and Zoho Creator are both magnificent attempts by humanity to prevent businesses from drowning in their own paperwork. They let people with absolutely no idea how to code build applications that automate tasks, streamline workflows and generally make life easier—until, of course, something inevitably goes wrong. Both platforms have mobile apps, drag-and-drop interfaces and security measures that ensure Dave from accounting doesn’t accidentally delete the entire company while trying to approve an expense report.

TrackVia, a proud creation of the United States circa 2006, caters mostly to businesses that have a distressing number of moving parts—like manufacturing, field service and logistics. It has a particular fondness for offline functionality, meaning workers in the middle of nowhere can still input data, even if the nearest internet connection is somewhere beyond the horizon. It also plays rather well with big, serious software like ERP and MES systems, because apparently, large enterprises enjoy making their tech stacks resemble an overly complicated Rube Goldberg machine.

Meanwhile, Zoho Creator, emerging from India in the very same year, prefers the company of small and medium-sized businesses that just want something simple, effective and preferably not requiring a PhD to operate. It comes with pre-built templates, making it perfect for someone who once tried to build a spreadsheet and ended up breaking their computer. Deeply embedded in the ever-expanding Zoho universe, it offers integrations with tools like Zoho CRM, Zoho Books and presumably any future Zoho product designed to gently nudge humanity toward complete reliance on their ecosystem.
