Mendix was founded to solve the personal frustration that most developers face with the complexity of custom software development that is slow and consistently fails to deliver intended business results. With a vision to fundamentally reimagine and elevate the traditional roles played by business and IT teams in the app development process, Mendix provides a low-code rapid application development platform that combines speed, collaboration, and control for seamless and faster software development.
Mendix is driven by a diverse team of passionate and exceptional team with one thing in common—the desire to help people to make something significant. Derek continuous to do an outstanding job to grow Mendix triple digit numbers year over year.
Smarter and Faster Application Development
With the Mendix platform, businesses can ‘Make with More,’ by enhancing an enterprise’s development capability to seamlessly conquer the software development bottleneck. The company is steering forward with its success formula, ‘Make it Smart,’ by making apps with rich native experiences that are proactive, intelligent, and contextual; and ‘Make at Scale,’ to modernize core systems and build apps to align with growing business requirements. The Mendix platform promotes intense collaboration between business and IT teams, and dramatically accelerates application development cycles while maintaining the highest standards of quality, security, and governance. “Whether you’re a business analyst, marketing director, CIO, factory floor manager, or expert developer, you can use the Mendix platform to create enterprise-grade applications that leverage all your existing resources, using whatever cloud fits your strategy,” adds Roos.
From citizen developers to professional developers, the platform offers a set of tools to enable collaborative development. Mendix’s web modeler is collaborative, no-code web-based application development environment. Using the web modeler, citizen developers, and business analysts can quickly build and change applications without any software development experience. Its desktop modeler is a locally installed application and a modeling IDE that allows users to develop integrations and extensions. Developers use the Mendix desktop modeler to develop engaging web and mobile applications without code. Developers can also use their coding idea to build extensions with Javascript, combined with the desktop modeler. Changes can sync across the development environment by using a control repository.![]()

Applications built using the Mendix platform comes with a full stack consisting of data, pages, and security. Pages are built using a visual page editor allowing users to build dynamic and static pages. Create device-specific experiences by using navigation profiles, page layouts, and logic while still sharing the common underlying app data and integrations. Domain modules are a visualization of the data structure, based on the UML, they allow developers to build and understand the data structure quickly. Modules contain entities and attributes and associations allowing creating business data. The modeler supports inheritance capability to reduce the amount of duplication across applications, inheriting an entity makes all its properties and functionality available. Just like in the coding world, Mendix supports sub-flows, error handling, and I/O parameters. Mendix supports connections and integrations to other apps or services through industry-standard interfaces and protocols such as JDBC, REST, and OData. The platform offers many solutions for ensuring that new applications can both consume and expose data and services in heterogeneous environments.
Mendix offers openness and extensibility at all levels, providing open model specifications and tools for platform extensibility. With Mendix applications can be extended with reusable components as well as custom code while leveraging third-party testing services and automation servers. It’s fully open, and pluggable platform architecture allows to leverage open standard and open source for ease of interoperability and extensibility, whereas the container-based, cloud-native architecture enables cloud agnostic capabilities.
Steering Businesses to Growth and Profitability
Over the years, Mendix has played a significant role in enhancing the application development capabilities of a number of businesses across the globe including Kuehne + Nagel, Solomon group and Saga Healthcare. The company’s solution has been adopted by more than 4,000 leading companies around the world.
