SINGAPORE, Nov. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- OutSystems, a global leader in high-performance application development, has partnered with Gulf Marine, a global lubricant supplier for the shipping industry, and deployed the OutSystems platform to deliver a new quotation automation application dubbed ChopChop Quote, in just three months.
