While custom app development is a sure way to build a full-service business automation tool guaranteed to fit the unique needs of your business, not every organization has the budget or the time to build a solution from scratch. However, white-label app development is making it possible for businesses of any size to build automation tools that solve their most common problems: from streamlining the quote-to-sale process and automating invoicing to improving communication between departments and tracking inventory requests.

White-label development tools are being used by a growing number of organizations to quickly, efficiently, and affordably build in-house solutions they can maintain complete brand control over. And Zoho Creator is becoming the number one white-label app builder to turn to.

A white-label app builder is a non-branded software solution that features basic, built-in functionality that solves a business’s most common problems, like invoicing, customer management, approvals, inventory, etc. Businesses can purchase and customize a white-label app more affordably than they could build a custom app from the ground up.

Other benefits include:

• Customization: A white-label app can be customized to fit the specific needs of a business and its customers, allowing for a unique user experience.
• Speed: There is a much faster time to market for white-label apps. Compared to custom apps, which may take a year or more to build, test, and launch, white-label apps can be built within weeks because the basic functionality has already been developed.
• Branding: By rebranding a white-label app with their logo, color scheme, and other branding elements, businesses can promote their brand and increase brand recognition.
• Control: Developing their white-label app gives businesses more control over its features and functionality, allowing them to tailor it to their specifications.
• Cost: Developing a white-label app in-house can be more cost-effective than licensing an existing app, especially in the long term. Out-of-the-box applications require regular subscription fees. Meanwhile, custom applications can cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
• Revenue: Businesses can generate extra income by licensing their white-label app to other companies or selling it directly to customers.

There are dozens of white-label app builders on the market; however, Zoho Creator is among the most popular. One of its competitors even named Creator a top white-label app builder for 2023.

You can use Zoho Creator to build an app for nearly every industry, including manufacturing, higher ed, healthcare (it is HIPAA compliant), retail, finance, food service, logistics, real estate, and professional services. Its most common solutions include apps for:

• Internal processes (recruitment, onboarding/offboarding, etc.)
• Day-to-day operations (project management, invoicing, inventory, etc.)
• Customer service (ticketing, customer portals, etc.)

Where Zoho Creator truly stands out is with its over 600 integrations and API connections.
