Custom business applications, such as helpdesks, invoicing, or asset
management

AutonDBS integration
Business rules and trigger-based automation
Data-driven user interfaces
Reporting and data visualizations
Custom integrations and plugins
Custom API endpoints
Third-party API integration
Desktop and mobile app support
