Customer Case
Meeting the challenge of fast,
secure digital solutions at scale
Implementing a tailored low-code
solution with Betty Blocks
After a meticulous selection process evaluating ease of use, governance, integrations, branding flexibility, and support quality, Forvis Mazars chose Betty Blocks as their low-code/no-code development partner. Together with the Betty Blocks consultancy team, Forvis Mazars built a fully bespoke no-code environment - complete with custom templates, branded components, and IT-governed roles and permissions. A Centre of Excellence was established as the knowledge hub for the program, bringing together product owners, change managers, no-code developers, and IT leads under one roof.
The rollout was structured and deliberate, running in two key phases:
15 ideas were submitted to the hackathon via Forvis Mazars' internal Ideation Portal. Nine were selected and developed by nine cross-functional teams, covering questionnaire tools for audits and ESG assessments, knowledge databases, and workflow automation applications.
Driving lasting impact with a
sustainable low-code ecosystem
The Hackathon was a resounding success - and the momentum didn't stop when it ended. Within eight months, Forvis Mazars in Germany had established a fully personalised no-code environment, trained over 20 citizen developers across core service lines, and launched 9 business applications optimising internal processes and client-facing workflows. Three applications are already fully rolled out in their respective departments, with one team already building their second application.
The foundation is now self-sustaining. Because finished applications can be shared as templates and reusable components, every new solution builds on the last — and every new generation of citizen developers benefits from the work done before. Development projects now run on a smooth, categorised trajectory across no-code, collaborative, and low-code streams.
Forvis Mazars needed more than a platform - they needed a partner willing to co-build a program from scratch, tailored entirely to their organisation. Betty Blocks delivered on every criterion in their selection process: ease of use, governance, documentation, branding, integrations, and fast, responsive support.
The flexibility of the Betty Blocks platform - usable as both a no-code and low-code environment - meant it could serve every type of developer, from a first-time business user to an experienced engineer. And with a fully customised environment built in Forvis Mazars' own branding, citizen developers could hit the ground running from day one.
Most importantly, Betty Blocks helped Forvis Mazars build something that will outlast any single project: a cultural shift. One where employees are empowered to identify problems, craft solutions, and independently build the tools that make their organisation faster, smarter, and more resilient.
