Five overview

What is Five?

Five provides a low-code environment that empowers software developers to create and deploy bespoke business applications. With Five, developers can respond promptly to specific business needs by building bespoke internal tools with forms, dashboards, and charts. The platform enables seamless data management, visualization, and reporting for both internal and external end-users while offering easy role and permission assignment for access control. Whether it's admin panels, human resources applications, or customer support tools, Five supports the development of various internal applications.

Incorporating business logic into the application development process is effortless within Five. By supporting event-driven programming, JavaScript, and SQL, developers can efficiently translate complex business processes into functional custom processes, functions, calculations, or reports.

Five simplifies the process by allowing developers to integrate SMTP settings for email notifications or create in-app notifications using the send notification feature. These notifications can be triggered by specific actions or scheduled to occur at specific times, enhancing communication with end-users.

Five ensures a comprehensive audit trail of all application changes with timestamps and user IDs. Additionally, contextual in-app help can be easily added, ensuring that end-users can access relevant documentation whenever needed.

Five streamlines release management by offering three environments for each application, development, testing (staging), and production. Developers can effortlessly deploy applications to any of these environments with just a single click, promoting a smooth and controlled release process.
