1# No-Code is not scalable: Learnings of FINN
No-code might not be the best solution for everyone, but it worked well for the people at FINN. They were able to grow from 0 to 20,000 car subscriptions in just two years and expanded to the US during that time as well.
Their success was due in part to their use of no-code tools like Airtable, Make (Integromat) and Retool. These tools allowed them to automate a lot of processes related to e-commerce and car subscriptions and to move fast and iterate quickly on their product.
In the early days, they were able to test out different pricing models and subscription lengths without having to build anything from scratch. No-code also meant that they didn't have to worry about hiring expensive developers or waiting for weeks for new features to be released.
Now, FINN is one of the leading car subscription companies in Europe with over 50,000 subscribers. And they're not slowing down anytime soon!
Nevertheless, no-code is not scalable in the long term, says Ishtiaque Zafar, Senior Software Engineer at FINN.

2# Use Case: Process Automation at DHL Global Forwarding
The way Business Process Automation is usually approached is by identifying processes that are manual, time-consuming and/or error-prone, and then finding ways to automate them. This approach has been successful for DHL Global Forwarding (DGF), who have managed to save time and money by automating their business processes.
However, Frank Schüler believes that there is a better way to approach Business Process Automation:

3# Life Hack: Eating Free in New York via Process Automation
If you're looking for a way to get free meals in your city, you may want to consider using social media and process automation.
Chris Buetti figured out a way to do it, and he's been eating like a king ever since. All he does is post pictures of his meals on social media, and then he automated the process of reaching out to restaurants and asking for free meals. It sounds too good to be true, but it's working like a charm. ??
