At Lonocode, we believe speed and clarity are the foundation of great software. Whether you’re building internal tools or launching a new product, here’s how we help teams go from a prototype, or just an idea to MVP in just 45 days using OutSystems.
But first, what is an MVP—and why does it matter?
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is the simplest version of your product that delivers real value to users. It’s not a prototype and not a beta. It’s a strategic launchpad designed to validate your idea, gather feedback, and accelerate iteration. At Lonocode, we help clients define and build MVPs that are lean, purposeful, and built to evolve—fast. Using low-code platforms like OutSystems we cut through complexity and deliver working solutions in weeks, not months. Now, let’s move on to how we do it.
Define What Matters
Every successful MVP begins with clarity. When we work with clients at Lonocode, our first step is always the same: zoom in on the core problem you’re solving and the features that directly support that solution. This isn’t just about trimming scope—it’s about sharpening purpose.
We guide you through identifying the must-haves versus the nice-to-haves, ensuring your MVP delivers immediate value without unnecessary complexity. Feature creep is the silent killer of momentum. It slows down development, muddies your message, and delays feedback from real users.
Instead, we help you define a lean, focused MVP that’s built to validate your idea in the real world. This clarity accelerates development, aligns your team, and ensures you’re building something the market actually needs—not just something that sounds good in a meeting.

Build Visually, Launch Rapidly
At Lonocode, we believe development should be fast, flexible, and frictionless. That’s why we use OutSystems’ visual development environment to help our clients move from idea to execution without getting bogged down in boilerplate code or infrastructure setup.
With OutSystems, your team can drag, drop, and deploy using a library of pre-built components, templates, and logic flows. This means you’re not starting from scratch—you’re starting from a foundation that’s already optimized for speed and scalability.
We help you leverage these tools to build applications up to 3x faster than traditional development methods. That’s not just a time-saver—it’s a competitive advantage. Instead of spending weeks wiring up backend services or debugging UI layouts, you’re focused on what matters: delivering real value to your users.

Feedback Isn’t Optional—It’s Fuel
Get your MVP in front of real users early. Use their feedback to refine UX, fix friction points, and validate assumptions. Companies that prioritize user feedback are 2.5x more likely to hit their business goals.
💡 User-centric teams are 2.5x more likely to succeed.

Iterate Like You Mean It
At Lonocode, iteration isn’t just a phase—it’s a mindset. And with OutSystems, it’s built into the way we deliver.
OutSystems makes iteration frictionless. Whether you’re refining a feature, responding to user feedback, or pivoting based on new insights, the platform allows you to push updates and test changes in real time—without the delays and overhead of traditional development cycles.
We help our clients take full advantage of this agility. Want to tweak a workflow? Adjust a UI element? Roll out a new feature to a test group? No problem. With OutSystems, we can implement changes in hours—not weeks—so your product evolves as fast as your users do.
💡 Iterative teams are 60% more likely to succeed.
— Harvard Business Review
By embracing rapid iteration, you’re not just improving your product—you’re building a feedback loop that drives smarter decisions, better UX, and faster time to value. At Lonocode, we guide you through that loop with purpose and precision.
Launch, Learn, and Level Up
At Lonocode, we believe launching your MVP shouldn’t require spinning up a full DevOps pipeline. By using OutSystems, we don’t.
OutSystems handles the heavy lifting—CI/CD, infrastructure provisioning, version control, rollback, and deployment pipelines—so you don’t have to. That means no more juggling Jenkins scripts, managing container orchestration, or waiting on staging environments to catch up. You can move from development, to test, to production with a single click, directly from the platform.
Once live, OutSystems gives you built-in monitoring and analytics tools to track user engagement, performance, and behavior in real time. We help you configure dashboards that surface what matters most—so you can see what’s working, what’s not, and where to iterate next.
Final Thought
OutSystems provides you with the powerful tools you need. Lonocode offers you the structured process to follow. Together, we collaborate to help you move seamlessly from initial prototype to a fully functional MVP—quickly and efficiently. Our mobile-first, low-code development approach guarantees that you deliver impactful results that truly matter to your users and stakeholders.
Bonus: Turnkey Solutions
If you want someone to handle the entire process, no problem, our turnkey service can design, build and deploy your entire application in our Outsystems environment and you won’t have to lift a finger.
