  text: Low-code development platforms (LCDPs) recently sparked interest in both academia
    and industry, promising to speed up software development and make it accessible
    to users with little or no programming experience. Thus, the mass-development
    of software applications that are custom-made to the tasks, skills, and preferences
    of end users is potentially enabled. Although different LCDPs have been analysed
    with respect to their functionality and applied to exemplary case studies in recent
    work, there is a shortage of experience reports in which LCDPs are used to digitize
    business processes in small and medium manufacturing enterprises. In this paper,
    we therefore summarize our experience from supporting industry partners to identify
    business processes that are suitable for being implemented with low-code technologies
    and to select an LCDP that meets the requirements of the business process while
    aligning with the overall digitization strategy of the respective company. We
    also present the opportunities and challenges of the low-code approach as perceived
    by industry partners. In summary, the low-code approach should be seen as an essential
    factor for the digitization of business processes in small and medium manufacturing
    companies.
