Welcome to Plyn!
Plyn is a productivity platform designed to empower businesses to build custom software solutions without relying on programmers.
Why Plyn?
Traditional software development involves layers of technology (data storage, processing, and display) that can be difficult to design and build. Finding pre-built software that perfectly fits your unique business needs can be frustrating. Software as a Service (SaaS) offer a variety of single-purpose apps, forcing you to constantly search for solutions and adapt your processes to fit them.
Plyn give you the power to build exactly what you need in a platform that allows for fully real-time collaboration, automatically updates itself and provides security for your data out of the box.
Simplifying Business Software Creation with Plyn
Plyn offers a new approach. It doesn't require coding knowledge or familiarity with complex data structures. Instead, it leverages your existing understanding of data and user interfaces. Think of it as a powerful spreadsheet specifically designed for managing business information, not just numbers.
Building Custom Solutions Together
Plyn empowers teams to collaborate and build custom applications that address your evolving business needs. It provides a foundation of collections – these are essentially containers that hold specific business data, like customer information, contracts, or product inventory. Each piece of data within a collection is an item.
Customization Through Plugins
Plyn's flexibility comes from "plugins." These are like building blocks that add functionalities to your collections. Imagine adding a "status" plugin to a customer collection. This would transform each customer record into a record with a deadline attached. By combining different plugins, you can create solutions that traditionally required programmers, allowing your team to build the tools you need without complex coding.
Plyn (pronounced 'plin'), the name comes from the Polish word for "fluid," reflects our core philosophy of building a tool that adapts and flows seamlessly with your evolving business needs, just like water adapts to its environment.
