Salesforce does this pretty well. Allowing users to put something together to automate a business process quickly.

Their concept of custom tabs, custom objects, fields, page layouts and the way different layouts are assigned to groups of users by profile make it easy to stand up a lot of record keeping and management that's needed in a lot of plain boring business.

Granted, Salesforce is so immensely wide and deep that many of those advantages get lost in the complexity of the platform itself.
