ClickPaaS China

Established in 2017, ClickPaaS is a low-code application platform provider headquartered in Shanghai, China. The company was founded by Cypress Hu (Hu Bai), a software industry veteran with extensive experience in enterprise IT architecture consulting. After working for Oracle in China and later in the United States, Hu observed a growing demand from Chinese enterprises for sophisticated business software that international products struggled to fully satisfy. This insight prompted his return to China in 2015, leading to the formation of a research and development center in Suzhou in 2017 and the official launch of ClickPaaS.

ClickPaaS operates in the Platform as a Service (PaaS) market, providing a low-code development platform that enables enterprises to build complex, customized business applications with minimal hand-coding. The company's business model is centered on offering its technology to large and medium-sized enterprises, government entities, consulting firms, and SaaS companies. This allows clients to accelerate their digital transformation by creating and iterating on critical systems more quickly and at a lower cost than traditional development methods. The platform is designed to be particularly effective for clients who have a deep understanding of their business needs but may lack extensive in-house development teams.

The core of the company's offering is its model-driven platform, which includes aPaaS (application Platform as a Service), iPaaS (integration Platform as a Service), and DaaS (Data as a Service) products. This suite allows for the visual and graphical configuration of business, data, page, and process models to build applications. Key features include a designer platform, drag-and-drop page design, graphical logic design, and robust data security. The platform supports the entire lifecycle of an application, from design and development to deployment and maintenance. ClickPaaS serves a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, financial technology, government, engineering, and logistics. The company has successfully raised significant capital through multiple funding rounds, including a Series B+ round led by Sequoia Capital, to fuel its product development and ecosystem expansion.
