Service

Apps that hold up in daily use — not just in the store

An app is not judged by how it looks in a screenshot, but by whether it still works in a site cabin with one bar of signal and cold fingers.

When an app is worth it

Not every project needs an app. These do:

  • The work happens away from a desk

    Installation, delivery, field service, maintenance — anywhere the desk is not the workplace.

  • Device features are needed

    Camera, barcode scanning, NFC, GPS or push notifications — things a website cannot do, or only partly.

  • The network is unreliable

    Basements, warehouses, rural areas. An app can keep working and sync later; a website cannot.

  • You want customers to come back

    An icon on the home screen is a different kind of presence than a bookmark in a browser.

What you get

An app is not a project with an end date but something that has to be maintained for years. We build it that way.

  • iOS and Android from one codebase

    A shared base instead of two separate builds — that halves effort and maintenance cost without the app feeling foreign on either platform.

  • Offline capability from the start

    Data is held locally, entries survive a dropped connection and are merged cleanly once it returns.

  • Publication in both stores

    We handle developer accounts, store listings, review processes and age ratings — including the usual follow-up questions from Apple.

  • Connection to your systems

    An app rarely makes sense on its own. We connect it to your inventory system, your CRM or your custom software.

  • Maintenance across OS cycles

    Apple and Google change their requirements every year. Without upkeep an app eventually falls out of the store — we keep it current.

Typical projects

From an internal tool to a customer-facing app in the stores.

  • Field service and installation app

    Receive jobs, record hours, capture photos and a signature on site — with no connection required.

  • Ordering and customer app

    Repeat orders, status display and push notifications, connected to your existing system.

  • Scanner-based capture

    Stocktaking, goods-in or inspection rounds via barcode and NFC on a phone instead of dedicated hardware.

Common questions

What clients want to know before the first call

Native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform in most cases, because one codebase for iOS and Android cuts effort and maintenance cost considerably and the difference is barely noticeable to users today. Fully native makes sense when the app reaches deep into device features or is graphically demanding. We decide which fits during discovery, based on your requirements rather than our preference.

Do we even need an app, or would a website do?

Often a website is enough. If your users are online, no device features are needed and nobody expects an icon on the home screen, a mobile-optimised web application is faster to build and cheaper to maintain. We will tell you that in the intro call before quoting for an app.

Who owns the store accounts?

The accounts are in your name — which matters, because it means the app stays yours if we ever stop working together. We set them up with you and then publish on your behalf as an authorised party.

What does ongoing maintenance cost?

Budget an annual share of the development effort for OS updates, store requirements and smaller adjustments. We fix the exact range in the quote so post-launch costs are not a surprise. Apple and Google store fees come on top.

Tell us about your app idea

In the intro call we will tell you whether an app is the right route — or whether a web application reaches the same result faster and cheaper.
