Mente Flow / Solutions / Nocobase

Your business system, built and running.

We build production-ready systems on Nocobase — CRM, support, HR, inventory. Fast because we've done it before. Reliable because we bring the data modelling, the AI wiring, and the production experience to every engagement.

What we actually do

Nocobase is an open-source no-code platform — powerful, but only as good as the people configuring it. We design the data model, build out the application, wire in AI agents for automation, and hand over a running system your team can operate independently. AI accelerates our delivery; our experience is what makes it production-grade.

When standard features don't cover a specific requirement, we build custom plugins and extensions — Nocobase's plugin architecture is designed for exactly this. Your system grows with your business, not with the platform's roadmap.

Where it makes sense, we can add AI Employees to the system — Nocobase's term for agents that are genuinely embedded in the application, not bolted on top. Unlike a chatbot, an AI Employee understands the business context of your system: it knows your data model, your workflows, your approval chains. It doesn't answer questions — it executes tasks directly inside the application, the same way a human user would.

01 · We design the system

Data model first, always

We start with your processes, not a template. We map the entities, the relationships, the roles, the edge cases — before writing a single workflow. That's the part that takes experience to get right.

02 · We wire in the AI

Automation built into the structure

Agents that triage tickets, route approvals, flag inventory anomalies, draft responses, and update records — wired into the data model we built, operating with real permissions on real data.

03 · We hand it over properly

Your team runs it, not us

We document every workflow, train the people who'll own it, and leave clean handover materials. The goal is a system your ops team can maintain and extend without coming back to us for every change.

Systems we can deploy

Nocobase ships production-tested blueprints for the most common business needs. We take the blueprint, adapt the data model to your context, and deliver a running system — not a half-built template to figure out on your own.

Why not Airtable, Salesforce, or custom code?

Every client we've worked with came from one of three places. Here's why they moved.

vs. Airtable / Notion

Not designed for operations at scale

Record limits, no real workflow engine, no self-hosting, no fine-grained permissions. Works for small teams. Falls apart when you need real business logic, approval chains, or data you can't send to a SaaS vendor.

vs. Salesforce / HubSpot

€100–200 per user, per month

For a 20-person team: €24,000–48,000/year in platform fees alone, before any customisation. Nocobase has no per-user fees, no per-app limits, no data-volume pricing — ever.

vs. Custom development

3–6 months and one person who holds the key

Custom code is fragile. The developer who wrote it owns the system. Nocobase gives you a visual configuration layer your team can operate and extend without touching code.

Common questions

Is Nocobase actually production-grade?
22,000+ GitHub stars. In production since 2020. Used by enterprise clients in manufacturing, real estate, and R&D — including a smart factory deployment managing equipment maintenance and HR for a multi-national components supplier. The core is open-source and fully auditable.

What if we need something the platform doesn't have?
We build it as a custom plugin. Nocobase's microkernel architecture treats every feature as a plugin — including the ones shipped by the platform itself. Adding a new capability doesn't mean forking the codebase or waiting for a vendor roadmap.

Who maintains it after handover?
Your team does. Nocobase runs on a standard server in your own cloud account. Your ops team can add pages, adjust workflows, and change data models in a visual interface — no code required for most changes. We leave full documentation and offer an optional support retainer.

What does it actually cost to run?
The platform is open-source — no licensing fee, no per-user charge, no per-app limit. Infrastructure runs €30–80/month on a standard cloud VM. Commercial plugins (extended features, if needed) are one-time purchases with no recurring fee.
