Marketplace Updates: Third Party Publisher Program and New Listings

Today Unqork announced a suite of new features for the Unqork Marketplace, including new listings and a Third Party Publisher program. The Marketplace launched one year ago as the “first-ever no-code marketplace, designed to help users build complex software faster through an extensive library of self-service developer tools, ranging from pre-built software snippets and templates to integrations from over 25 world class partners.”  Learn more about MarketplaceJoin us next week for a Marketplace Takeover of our monthly Success Hour webinar. You’ll hear from the Marketplace team on the latest news and updates, get demos of Marketplace listings from other Creators, and have a chance to ask questions from a panel of experts. Highlights from the announcementThe new updates to the Unqork Marketplace include: Third Party Publisher program: For the first time, third party publishers can launch applications on the Unqork Marketplace, providing developers with expanded access to industry-specific tools that enable increased business agility and innovation. As more publishers add to the library, developers will have access to an extensive library of industry use cases to create complex applications tailored to their individual business needs. Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) and Quantiphi have launched the first application accelerators as part of the program: EY has launched two applications to the Unqork Marketplace: Add Insurance Now enables private travelers to request an insurance quote and purchase supplemental accident insurance almost instantly.  Global Resource Tracker gives business logistics managers a wide-angle view of global resources– from machinery to project architects– at work locations around the world at any given time, critical for effective logistics, resource and financial planning.  Quantiphi, an AI-first digital engineering company, has launched Dociphi, an AI-powered document processing application engineered to fast-track end-to-end document workflows, while ensuring regulatory compliance. Dociphi provides routine document workflows, eliminates manual errors and generates insights to prevent fraud for claims processing, commercial lending, mortgage underwriting and more. Dociphi aims to enable insurance workflows and help organizations: Process 2x more documents with near-zero errors. Reduce document processing costs by over 35% and operating costs by up to 30. Accelerate time to market with prebuilt tools. New Marketplace listings, including: A Google Calendar integration streamlines merging Google Calendar within Unqork applications to make scheduling appointments on applications like healthcare digital front doors, investor portals and case management systems a seamless experience for the millions of Google Calendar users.  The Status Blueprint Accelerator transforms the creation of bespoke status management systems by centralizing and standardizing statuses, actions and checklist items as a dynamic component of a case management application. This expedites status blueprints to be defined in minutes – rather than hours.    For more information, read the full announcement here.  Success Hour RecordingWatch @Nadia Abossein, Lead Product Manager at Unqork Marketplace, walk through various Marketplace updates and features in our July 2022 Success Hour! Click here to watch (or 3:06 on the video below).

Built entirely on Unqork’s codeless platform, Enterprise View makes it easy for stakeholders across the enterprise - both technical and non-technical - to understand the health of their environment and the overall efficiency of the development process, thus ensuring that higher-quality applications are delivered to the end-user.Expanding the first no-code Marketplace Along with the platform updates, Unqork has released new listings to the Unqork Marketplace that enhance developer productivity and support a codeless environment, including: A Google Translate integration that users can easily configure, giving apps built on Unqork the ability to leverage Google Translate to convert text from one language into another. (View Listing) A Webhook API Snippet to help Unqork users expedite the configuration of a standardized webhook in Unqork, ultimately saving users an average of 5 hours in application builds. This snippet was created in record time - less than two weeks - in response to user interest in this functionality. (View Listing) A “For Loop” Snippet that allows a user to perform a looping action over a large set of data. This snippet helps users save hours in application builds compared to traditional code, for use cases like validating addresses or updating multiple submissions at once. It has quickly become the #1 listing in the Marketplace. (View Listing)

Unqork Insider: The Unqork Marketplace

Take a look at the latest developments of our innovative product, the Unqork Marketplace. Here’s why it is the most efficient way to optimize enterprise no-code application development.Unqork believes in helping developers work smarter, not harder. Through visual interfaces, intuitive business logic, and drag-and-drop components, no-code helps you do just that. With no-code, you can build high-quality applications in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost, all without writing a single line of code. We love no-code development at Unqork, but recently we got to thinking—can we do more? Can we make some aspects of web application development even faster and easier? We wanted to provide more tools, more integrations, and ways to boost efficiency and productivity on Unqork for our Creators (those who develop on the Unqork platform). “We know that the best way to offer these capabilities was by supporting a larger ecosystem around the Unqork platform,” says Warren Chen, our Vice President of Marketplace.And thus, the Unqork Marketplace was born. Nadia Abossein, Lead GTM Product Manager, adds, “It’s one of our top priorities.” Unqork Marketplace now has a robust team of full-time Unqorkers dedicated to its utility, longevity, and development. Here’s the inside scoop on one of our most exciting debuts this year.How the Unqork Marketplace worksThe Unqork Marketplace gives Creators access to a wide array of reliable, easy-to-install tools and capabilities called “assets”. Marketplace assets include applications, templates, integrations, and snippets, all of which can be directly installed into your Unqork environment and used right away. Unqork’s Codeless Architecture enables Creators to browse the Marketplace’s catalog of assets, download the assets they want to use, and seamlessly place them in their application.“The Unqork Marketplace enables Creators to not have to build applications from scratch,” Warren notes. This makes application development on Unqork even more efficient and cost-effective—using pre-built components allows Creators to build apps that are proven to work, reducing errors and improving time-to-market. Also, modifying a Marketplace asset won’t affect any other modules that currently use that component, helping prevent bugs before they take root. We have 65 assets currently available for creators and every month we add five or six new ones to the Marketplace! One newer Marketplace asset worth noting is the For Loop snippet, which enables you to perform a looping command. Performing the same action one at a time isn't efficient—with For Loop, Unqork Creators can eliminate this repetitive task and ultimately develop faster. Set up is quick and easy—simply install the snippet into your environment, access it from the Marketplace snippets section, and drop it onto the canvas of your module.“Snippets are the power behind Marketplace because I know what my clients need me to build. If there are snippets in here that help me build faster, that's the real beauty of Marketplace and that's where the bread and butter is going to be.” — Partner Application SpecialistBy allowing creators to easily access useful pre-built capabilities, Unqork Marketplace acts as a “foundation” for creation on Unqork, to use Nadia’s words. She also points to the Marketplace’s hope to further “democratize and expand access throughout the no-code development process,” helping current and future no-coders build better applications. Whether it’s dragging snippets into modules, starting applications from a template, or scrolling through assets for inspiration, the Marketplace has already made a huge impact. Since its launch this past June, Creators make use of the Unqork Marketplace more than 900 times on a monthly basis! Over a quarter of active Unqork Creators have built within at least one Marketplace listing. Thus far, more than 1,750 modules have been created with a snippet and over 250 applications have been made with the help of templates. What’s next for the Unqork Marketplace?Although the Unqork Marketplace is already an essential toolkit used by 25% of Unqorkers and no-code Creators, we’re constantly looking to do more and push boundaries. Our end goal is to maximize the Marketplace’s value for everyone who uses our platform—individual Creators, entire enterprises, and even other popular platforms.We're focusing heavily on two areas of growth for the marketplace right now—usability and capability. The Unqork Marketplace currently acts as an external hub (and is actually built using Unqork’s no-code platform!), but we’re hoping to integrate it deeper into how builders create on the Unqork platform. This will make it even easier for Creators to leverage assets and add capabilities to their nodes, supporting more seamless builds and modifications throughout the DevOps process.Along with improving the user’s experience of Unqork Marketplace, we want to support as much creativity as possible within the Marketplace itself. Warren explains that one aspect of this includes creating a “formalized process for picking partnerships” that promotes feedback and identifies key Marketplace features. We hope this will give people who use the Marketplace direct influence over what capabilities it leverages—and help us bring even more assets into the Marketplace every month!“Marketplace helps our Creators build faster! It builds confidence in our client when they see how fast we can build.” — Raj Palireddy, Sr. Solutions Architect, Persistent SystemsThe Unqork team also wants to eventually support third-party publishers, enabling them to create and share their assets on the Marketplace and engage directly with Creators. We hope this capability contributes to our long-term vision of having the Marketplace be an Unqork ecosystem, one that promotes collaboration while ensuring Creators get the features they need. “We’re creating the initial foundation for this flow now,” Nadia reveals, “and we’re hoping to bring on our first third-party publishers in the first quarter of 2022.”Even though it’s relatively young, the Unqork Marketplace already provides a massive amount of utility and power to Creators. We know that Unqork Marketplace will only continue to grow it's impact for our customers and Creators. By helping it grow into an ecosystem for Creators that truly integrates with other Unqork capabilities, we hope the Marketplace becomes a core aspect of our Codeless Architecture.Learn more about Unqork Marketplace here and keep checking back for new features, assets, and capabilities!Stay in touch with other no-code developments by subscribing to our newsletter, and schedule a personalized demonstration of Unqork with an in-house expert today.

Unqork Debuts a New Suite of Healthcare Integrations in the Unqork Marketplace

New integrations with Uber Health, Workpath, Infermedica and Ribbon Health open up the Unqork Marketplace to healthcare customers.  Unqork has announced the launch of a new suite of healthcare integrations in the Unqork Marketplace, the first no-code marketplace. Pre-built integrations with Uber Health, Workpath, Ribbon Health and Infermedica will be accessible via the Unqork Marketplace as part of an extensive library of no-code assets that can be used to jumpstart healthcare projects and build enterprise software faster, at a higher quality and a lower cost than methods that depend on coding. As the first set of accelerators in the Unqork Marketplace designed specifically for healthcare customers, this launch opens the door for health plans, life sciences companies and providers to reap the benefits of the Unqork Marketplace. “The pandemic has placed a spotlight on the direct link between software and patient care, demonstrating the necessity of digital capabilities for healthcare organizations,” said Kara Dennis, Head of Healthcare, Unqork. “These new integrations connect Unqork’s customers with leading health technology and services, allowing them to maximize the potential of Unqork’s no-code platform to build best-in-class digital experiences. These solutions enhance a healthcare companies’ ability to modernize patient and member experiences, and to optimize internal workflows.” Supporting at-home and on-site patient careFor healthcare organizations using Unqork to modernize member and patient experiences, the Uber Health and Workpath integrations provide essential capabilities for supporting on-site and at-home patient care, respectively. Uber Health’s HIPAA-enabled solutions support healthcare organizations by providing access to stress-free transportation for those they care for. By integrating with the Uber Health platform, Unqork customers will be able to efficiently configure an administrative interface for requesting and managing rides. Leveraging Uber Health, Unqork customers can (a) help their patients get to and from critical office visits, supporting patient retention and adherence to care plans; and (b) help study participants get to study sites, increasing the likelihood of attendance with a tech-forward approach.  Workpath enables healthcare companies to provide on-demand, in-home services by dispatching healthcare professionals to a patient’s home from the company’s nationwide network. The Workpath integration allows Unqork’s customers to quickly configure scheduling capabilities directly in their applications. With Workpath’s API, patients benefit from a white-labeled experience that allows them to provide their information, schedule an at-home visit at their convenience, receive confirmation and real-time notifications, and communicate with healthcare professionals.These integrations support clinical trial enrollment and onboarding for life sciences companies, and enable enhanced member and patient services for payers and providers. Enhancing member servicesFor health plans, providing modern, unified digital experiences for members has become essential. With Unqork, health plans can build prospect portals, member onboarding, and other member experiences with a wide array of self-service tools and health management recommendations, including: Infermedica’s medical guidance platform for pre-diagnosis and triage. Infermedica combines the latest clinical evidence with advanced machine learning to help patients and providers make important healthcare decisions with confidence. With the Infermedica integration, health plans can enhance their member experience with digital front door tools for improved diagnostic accuracy and triage guidance. Ribbon Health’s healthcare data platform provides critical infrastructure that payers, providers, and digital health solutions can use to enable accurate provider directories, reliable referral management, and efficient care navigation. Through the Ribbon Health integration, Unqork’s customers can connect their member experiences with a provider database, giving members the ability to query for in-network doctors and filter to find the best fit for their criteria. To learn more, visit the Unqork Marketplace.
