Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Softr to create solutions for SME in all sorts of areas as marketing, CRM, operational control, etc. The ease to build and how fast you can come up with new products are winners for me.

The templates are a great starting point if you are totally new using the app but either way the learning curve is really motivating.
