Kuailu Cloud Low-Code Guide: Build a Purchase Request in 5 Mins, Break Down Data Silos Across 3 Departments in 1 Hour
— Achieve End-to-End Automation from Procurement to Finance to HR with No Coding Background
In traditional development, building a procurement approval process requires writing thousands of lines of code and coordinating with 3 different departments, taking at least one week.
However, with the Kuailu Cloud low-code platform, even business personnel with no programming knowledge can create a functional business form in 5 minutes and break down the data silos between Procurement, Finance, and HR in 1 hour.
This article, based on the Kuailu Cloud product manual, will guide you step-by-step through implementing a low-code business process from scratch.
1.Form Engine Configuration: Build a "Compliant Purchase Requisition Form" in 5 Minutes
Traditional Pain Point: Manual development requires 2 days of debugging field logic, prone to coding errors.
Kuailu Cloud Solution: Visual drag-and-drop designer to quickly generate various types of forms.
Applicable Scenarios: Smart campuses, public welfare activities, points management, sales customer and order management, etc.
Configuration Steps:
Access the Kuailu Cloud admin backend to create a form.
Log in to the Kuailu Cloud admin backend (Kuailu Soft) and follow the path:
Application Management -> New "Procurement Management" -> Create Form -> Regular Form/Custom Form.
• The platform supports "Template Reuse": If a similar form exists (e.g., "Office Supplies Purchase Form"), you can directly copy and modify the template, saving 3 minutes of configuration time.
• Multi-device Adaptation Guarantee: Once the form design is complete, it automatically syncs to PC, mobile, and enterprise WeChat workstations without requiring separate adaptation.
Drag and drop controls to build the form structure.
The left-hand control panel contains 30+ out-of-the-box components (Basic Controls + Advanced Controls); simply drag them into the design area:
• "Number" Control: Set the "Purchase Requisition Number"; rules can be customized or use system defaults.
• "Department Selection" Control: Linked to the corporate organizational structure; the applicant can directly select their department (e.g., "Administration", "R&D") without manual entry.
• "Table" Control: Can directly interact with the form; after selecting an "Item Number", the system automatically pulls the name, specifications, and unit price from the "Item Master" table.
Configure validation logic to intercept erroneous data upfront.
• "Required Field Validation": Set "Requesting Department, Item Details, Total Amount" as mandatory fields; unable to submit with a pop-up prompt if left blank.
• "Numerical Validation": Set "Quantity" with a "Minimum value 1" and "Maximum value 1000" to avoid illogical entries like "0" or "10000".
• "Conditional Validation": If the total purchase amount exceeds 100,000 CNY, the "Requires Director Approval" field is automatically displayed; hidden if below.
More Operations
• Delete Application: Removes the application from the enterprise. It becomes invisible and unavailable to users afterwards.
• View Logs: Check the edit history of the application.
• Upload to Marketplace: Submit the application to the marketplace. Once approved, it becomes visible to others on the "Template Marketplace" page.
• Version Management: View the version history of the published application. Only one version per application is active; each publish creates a new active version.
Result Comparison: A purchase form that takes 2 days to develop traditionally can be completed in 5 minutes with Kuailu low-code, with zero coding errors. Subsequent field modifications only require drag-and-drop adjustments, no code changes.
II. Four Key Values of Low-Code Development
1.Efficiency: 60x Faster Than Traditional Development
• Form Building: 5 minutes vs. 2 days.
• Process Chaining: 1 hour vs. 1 week.
• Financial Automation: Voucher generation reduced from 3 days to real-time, with 99.99% accuracy.
2.Intelligence: AI-Assisted Decision-Making, No More Guesswork
• AI Approval: Automatically links "historical purchase prices, supplier ratings" during purchase requests, prompting alerts like "Current quote is 5% higher than last time, recommend verification".
• Data Dashboard: Procurement volume, remaining budget, and personnel scheduling rates update in real-time, filterable by department/time.
3.Security: Meets Enterprise Compliance Requirements
• Level 3 Cybersecurity Certification: Encrypted data transmission, regular security audits.
• Action Tracing: Logs track who changed form fields and who approved processes, readily exportable for audits.
4.Flexibility: Reuse Templates
Avoid Redundant WorkCommon processes (Procurement -> Finance, Expense -> Finance) can be saved as "Templates". For new business needs, simply:
• Copy the template.
• Drag and drop to modify fields (e.g., change "Raw Materials" to "Office Equipment").
• Publish and use. Done in 10 minutes.
Conclusion: Low-Code Isn't About "Simplifying Development," But "Reinventing Operational Efficiency"
Kuailu Low-Code empowers business users to build processes themselves:
• 5 Minutes: Create a compliant purchase form from scratch.
• 1 Hour: Break down data silos across 3 departments.
• Deploy Same Day: Needs no longer wait for IT scheduling.
