Many large organizations are challenged with digitizing manual processes or rehashing their aging technology stacks / inefficient architectures into modern, flexible digital platforms.
In this journey, business consultants are using Helios platform to build their own applications with practically no coding. -
The auto-generating screens with inset validations and configurable OOTB UI, renders the application with highest quality that need practically no testing and substantial savings in time and cost.
Contrast this with the huge overheads faced with traditional software development. Even complex use cases are addressed with minimal code.
Auto Generating System:
Helios, auto-triggers User Interface generation with inset validations upon the defined business entities and processes.
Subsequently, you are presented with a WYSIWYG Drag and Drop UI with a high degree of flexibility to tailor the system to your needs.
Business Analysts using Helios craft complex business functions with just configurations and no coding.
Further complex customization can be achieved with minimal coding efforts.

Drag-N-Drop design of activities and workflow paths.
Work assignment and approvals.
Configurable task checklists, notifications, delegation and escalation.
Document Management – Powered by Aras Innovator and JQWidgets
Search and Browse
Quick-browse search by author, department, or category or any other meta-data...
Multiple Language Support
Unicode languages support.
Integration Ready Interface
Helios is integration ready. Create, Manage and expose secured APIs for external systems or processes to integrate the application built to seamlessly interoperate with your existing business/IT framework. The APIs upgrade with system changes to keep the integration link LIVE.
Technical foundation
What every system we build stands on.
Data model and storage
You describe the data model once. List, detail and edit screens are generated from it and stay in step when the model changes.
Databases: PostgreSQL (other major databases supported by the foundation).
Files and attachments are stored with the record they belong to.
Security and roles
Built secure: sign-in through your company directory over OpenID Connect; SAML 2.0 and LDAP where your directory needs them; roles and row-level permissions; every change recorded with who, when and what.
Workflows and approvals
Workflows and approvals: BPMN 2.0 processes, task lists and escalation, modelled in standard BPMN your own people can read and change.
Also available: Kanban boards, maps.
Calendars and shifts
Calendars and shifts: your federal-state holidays and shift patterns, scheduled jobs and deadlines that follow your working calendar.
Reports and languages
Reports come from the same data model, printed or exported to a spreadsheet.
The interface runs in more than one language, so each user works in their own.
Interfaces
Every application publishes REST interfaces described in OpenAPI, so your other systems can read and write its data.

Every handover includes the operating guide and a backup and restore procedure.
- As a first step, business users typically create a few entities with properties and related entities as part of their business definition. The entire UI structure comprising of the following are auto-built:
- Complete Portal view for the entire data structure defined above.
- The entire form with the defined properties and inset validations in different launch modes for all the entities.
- A versatile grid with display, search, configurable columns, sorting and filters, Group-by Controls with virtualization for blazing performance of large datasets.
- Relevant toolbars to conduct basic operations of Add, Modify, Delete, Version Control, History, Lifecycles and Workflows.
- Advanced controls to launch Pivot Analyzer for self-analytics and visual tree for graphical navigation of structures.
- Relationship channels (grids) with UI control for all typical data operations to manage and maintain connections.
- Document management with file controls that allows check-in, check-out with viewer controls.
- Main Menu structure at the global level for structure navigation.
- Every single UI element created above – say a button, property field, column, toolbar are completely flexible and provides plug-in sections to apply your business controls over it.
Please refer to the Video section for details.
- First of all, Helios is affordable, hence there is no upfront investment. Typical implementations are 2/5th of the time of standard projects and around 50% cost savings. Now, you need not spend months or years with lot of consultants spending a lot of money time and effort without a clue on the ROI.
- Please refer to the Powered-By section.
- Yes, that’s a part of our portfolio. We consult, train, install and commission, customize, extend and support the systems. Please contact Crius support for details.
