“ As more users have gravitated towards our Ability8 application , we have received dozens of new feature requests . The OutSystems development platform allows us to quickly build new capabilities and thoroughly test them before deployment ,” says Mark .
With approximately 540 PWDs and over 3,000 supporting users , Ability8 now functions as a highly intuitive tool that is closely aligned to the needs of users and as such it has demonstrated the power of the OutSystems platform in delivering a reliable and user-centric solution – within the budget and limited resources of an entrepreneur .

The graphical interface makes it so much easier to take a design to a developer and explain exactly what stage the project is currently at . Plus , the intellectual property is protected as you cannot run the code in another environment ,” said Mark .
The implementation of the OutSystems platform for the development of Ability8 has yielded significant returns by enhancing the quality of life for PWDs and their families . The platform ’ s user-friendly interface and comprehensive feature set have simplified the management of disability care plans , reducing the administrative burden on families and caregivers .
Most features of the Ability8 platform are automated , with many layers of cross-checking to ensure that customers using the platform have the vast majority of their daily to-do list completed for them . This extends to invoices for example , with machine-learning able to double check the ABN , bank details , names and other data to ensure the credibility of the company involved .
Mark ’ s vision of providing a better way to manage disability care has been realised through the application , which continues to evolve and meet the ongoing and changing needs of its users . The application ’ s success underscores the impact of leveraging advanced technology to address real-world challenges , particularly in the realm of disability care .
“ With the OutSystems platform , it is possible to build enterprise-grade software without an enterprise team ,” said Mark .
As Ability8 grows , it remains a testament to the potential of combining personal experience with technological innovation to create solutions that significantly improve lives and the profound difference a well-designed , adaptable , and user-focused platform can make in the disability care sector . p
