We often hear from clients and fellow admins: "Why should I use the Avonni Flow Screen Components Library instead of building custom components?"

It's a fair question. Choosing between a pre-built library and custom development affects project timelines, costs, and efficiency. This post covers the benefits of using Avonni Flow Screen Components over custom development and the cost versus ROI of adding a UI components library to your Salesforce projects.

The short answer: Avonni Flow Screen Components increase ROI by saving time, cutting development costs, keeping designs consistent, simplifying maintenance, and making team collaboration easier. Here's the breakdown.

1. Save time and speed up development

The biggest advantage is time saved compared to custom development. The library has an extensive collection of pre-built components, so you don't need to create components from scratch. Pick what you need, customize it, and integrate it into your screen flows.

2. Reduce development costs

Custom development gets expensive -- hiring external developers or training your team adds up. With Avonni, ready-to-use components reduce the need for custom coding, freeing your team to focus on higher-priority work.

3. Keep designs consistent

Maintaining design consistency across multiple custom components is hard. Avonni Flow Screen Components provide a consistent set of pre-built components that follow Salesforce's Lightning Design System guidelines, so they fit naturally with your existing applications.

4. Simplify maintenance and updates

Custom-built components can break when Salesforce releases platform updates. With Avonni, your components stay compatible with Salesforce. The library is regularly updated to match the latest platform changes. No extensive rework when Salesforce ships something new.

5. Better collaboration and onboarding

A shared components library makes collaboration easier. Everyone uses the same components, which makes it simpler to onboard new team members, work on projects together, and share best practices. That translates to better efficiency across your organization.

6. 50+ components built for Flow Builder

The library includes over 50 UI components designed specifically for Flow Builder. That breadth of coverage is extremely difficult to replicate through custom development. Whatever your use case, there's likely a component ready to go.

Final thoughts

Time savings, lower development costs, easier maintenance, faster onboarding, better collaboration, and a deep library of components -- Avonni Flow Screen Components deliver strong ROI for Salesforce teams. If you're weighing custom development against a pre-built library, the math favors Avonni for most projects.
