Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Ninox offers a low-code platform combined with AI assistance that allows teams to build custom business applications instead of adapting to off-the-shelf tools, relying on spreadsheets, or commissioning bespoke development. The platform positions itself around iterative building: users describe what the business needs and assemble a solution that can be extended as requirements change.

Functional areas advertised include workplace collaboration (linking Gmail and Outlook accounts to Ninox records and workflows), document management (generating contracts, invoices and reports directly from the platform), and workflow orchestration (trigger-based automation with user-defined business logic). Customer-built use cases described on the site range from sales process management and tailored ERP systems to patient record and contact data management in care services.

Business model

Ninox provides its low-code application platform as a hosted software product, with self-service entry through a free trial as well as a sales-assisted route via booked demos.
