Build new apps fast

Use base system solutions like Guided Application Creator to quickly build an app to automate a manual process. Get straight to work using standard tools and technologies, such as JavaScript and Angular, or use a no-code or low-code solution to get started quickly. Now Platform comes with intuitive graphical tools that make app design easy even if you've never built an app before. And when you’re ready to grow the power of your custom apps even further, it’s simple to add new business logic with the ServiceNow development framework.

Extend your ServiceNow apps

Custom apps enable you to extend the services you offer. For example, when using ServiceNow HR, instead of using email to handle time-off requests, build an easy-to-access and easy-to-use custom application on the Now Platform UI to capture this information as an extension of your ServiceNow HR solution.

Turn anyone into a developer

If your organization has pent-up demand for custom applications across business teams, you can delegate certain capabilities to business stakeholders and analysts and work together to build apps that meet specific business needs. Building your custom applications on Now Platform centralizes activities and data on a single system of record, which helps to break down data silos and unlock insights across the enterprise.

Integrate everything

When your project does require the full power of coding for more complex workflow designs, integrations, or user experiences, use Now Platform to get straight to work. Write custom code using standard tools such as JavaScript and Angular, all within an integrated development environment. The Now Platform APIs, integration tools, and analytics capabilities help you address business problems faster by integrating valuable resources inside and outside the enterprise.
