Fueling business agility: Rappit's Q3 release and the future of AI-led enterprise applications

Sarah stared at her screen, frustration mounting. It was 3 p.m. on a Friday, and she needed to update a simple approval threshold. Orders over €10,000 should route to the regional manager, not the department head. What should have been a two-minute change could take weeks, even months, depending on her IT backlog. First, she’d need to submit an IT ticket. Then wait for a developer to review it. Schedule the change. Test it. Deploy it. Hope nothing breaks.

“There has to be a better way,” she muttered.

There is. With Rappit, we make your enterprise software future-ready, allowing you to outperform your peers.

When process speed meets business speed

At Rappit, we’ve spent over 45 years helping enterprises modernize their core applications and escape the constraints of rigid, monolithic systems. Our mission has always been clear: enable every company to outperform their competitors by becoming truly software-enabled.

But we’ve observed something troubling across our customers, from global manufacturers like Valeo and Solvay to retail leaders like Hunkemöller. Even with modern applications in place, teams were still hostage to the same old bottlenecks: waiting for IT cycles, losing context in fragmented interfaces, and managing workflows through email chains and spreadsheets.

The problem wasn’t the applications. It was the gap between business speed and app development.

Today, that gap closes…

Introducing Q3’s game-changing features: Your business, unleashed

Our Q3 release delivers five enterprise-grade features that transform how teams work, decide, and adapt. These aren’t just incremental improvements, they’re foundational shifts that put business agility back where it belongs: in business users’ hands.

1. Runtime business rules: The end of “IT says no”

Remember Sarah’s approval threshold nightmare? That’s over. Runtime Business Rules empowers business teams to create, modify, and deploy automated logic without any coding or system downtime.

Real Impact:

• Finance teams can adjust expense approval limits seasonally, no more missing budget deadlines waiting for IT
• Compliance officers can adapt to new regulations instantly, ensuring immediate adherence without deployment risks
• Operations managers can optimize inventory reorder triggers based on demand patterns, all in real-time

The transformation: Your business logic now evolves at the speed of business decisions, not development sprints.

2. User task list: Where chaos becomes clarity

Scattered emails, missed approvals and bottlenecked workflows, we’ve all been there. The User Task List aggregates every pending action into a single, intelligent dashboard that shows what needs attention, when, and why.

Real Impact:

• Project managers see all pending approvals across initiatives with clear aging and priority
• Quality teams monitor inspections, reviews, and corrective actions with advanced filtering
• Sales operations track contract approvals and discount authorizations with full client context

The transformation: Teams move from reactive chaos to proactive control, with visibility that drives accountability. This intelligent application feature drives accountability and efficiency in your core enterprise applications.

3. Detail view side-by-side: Context without compromise

Stop the navigation ping-pong. Side-by-Side Detail View shows full record information right next to your list, with resizable panels and independent scrolling. Compare, update, and move forward, all without losing your place.

Real Impact:

• Customer service reps review tickets while seeing complete customer history in one view
• Inventory analysts scan product lists while examining detailed specs and supplier data
• Financial analysts compare accounts while drilling into transaction details

The transformation: Work continuously in a single view, no interruptions.

4. Elasticsearch reference fields: All the context, none of the clicks

Why click into detail pages to see customer names, supplier information, or account status? Display referenced table fields directly in your main list views, with full filtering and search capabilities.

Real Impact:

• Order processors see customer details, shipping addresses, and account status in one grid
• Asset managers view equipment specs, maintenance history, and assignments without navigation
• Project coordinators access client details, account managers, and contract values instantly

The transformation: Decision-making data surfaces where decisions happen, in the list view.

5. Rappit Composer scheduler: Set it and forget it

Manual, repetitive tasks are productivity killers. The Scheduler automates scheduled flows on your timeline (daily reports, weekly cleanups, monthly distributions, yearly audits) running reliably in the background.

Real Impact:

• Finance teams auto-generate and distribute monthly reports on every first Tuesday
• IT operations schedule data maintenance and system health checks
• Customer success sends automated renewal reminders and service check-ins

The transformation: Critical processes happen consistently, without human oversight. This is scheduled automation that supports true enterprise software modernization.

Built on Rappit’s foundation of innovation

These capabilities build on Rappit’s core mission: helping enterprises outperform through intelligent, vendor lock-in-free application development. Our platform combines:

• Low-code speed with high-code flexibility – developers maintain full control over generated Java code
• AI-led development capabilities from automated data model generation to intelligent process optimization
• Google Cloud-native architecture ensuring scalability, security, and future-readiness
• 45+ years of enterprise software expertise from the founders of Baan ERP and Cordys, to today’s modern application challenges

The Rappit difference: Speed without sacrifice

Unlike traditional platforms that lock you into rigid frameworks, Rappit delivers enterprise-grade capabilities with complete flexibility. You own your applications, your data, and your future, while gaining the speed advantages that drive competitive performance.

As Omoda’s CEO, Jan Baan shared about their ERP modernization with Rappit: “With the new, intelligent system developed by Rappit in close collaboration with Omoda, we are now able to achieve double-digit revenue growth while also realizing double-digit efficiency gains.”

Ready to close the gap?

The age of waiting for IT cycles is over. The era of business-speed applications has begun.
