DENVER, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's most ingenious software designers may in fact turn out to be ordinary, non-technical business users.

TrackVia, provider of a do-it-yourself online platform that gives non-technical business people a radically faster way to build their own custom cloud software, today announced its annual list of "10 Most Intriguing Applications of 2012." The company also announced the five most common applications created by its citizen developer users in 2012.

TrackVia's list showcases the various ways in which the TrackVia platform can be used to create custom or highly specialized business applications by non-technical business with zero coding. Four of the most intriguing applications in 2012 included:

Giving Life: Two separate medical organizations, one based in Colorado and the other in Nevada, use TrackVia to track medical organ donations made through their healthcare organizations. This data can then be synchronized with several national databases in order to streamline the process of linking donated organs with recipient candidates.

Tracking 4-Minute Milers: A world-class professional long-distance running organization created a custom database application to track past and upcoming events, best running times and records. They even track, report and compare prizes won by their members.

Parking Patterns: A New Orleans-based firm has built several custom applications to track every aspect of its operation, ranging from real-time tracking and reporting of capacity across its various facilities, daily site and security inspections and even monitoring and optimizing pricing in real-time based on local events or competitor pricing.

Greener Homes: A local government organization from Greensboro, NC used TrackVia to build a custom application to track and schedule government-funded energy efficient home projects. In addition to keeping projects on time and on budget, they use TrackVia's built-in user-permission feature to share access with the hundreds of non-government employee contractors working on projects throughout the city.
