Understand
Before deciding what to build, we learn how the work actually gets done. We measure where things stand today and agree the KPIs this software should move.
Services
iOS and Android app development
From apps your team uses in the field to apps for your customers. We plan, build and publish iOS and Android apps, then keep them running and improving. We start by asking whether it should be an app at all, or whether the web or a LINE Mini App would serve better.
Who this is for
- Field work and reporting should happen on a phone or tablet
- You want a membership or booking app for your customers
- You need device features such as the camera, location, Bluetooth or offline use
- An existing app needs changes, or keeping up with OS updates
- You can't decide between an app and the web
Common problems
Built, but not downloaded or used
An app designed without a clear user and moment of use gets installed, then never opened again.
Stuck in store review
App Store and Google Play requirements are left until the end, and release slips.
Falling behind OS updates
Yearly OS releases and changing store requirements go unhandled, and the app ages.
Paying twice for iOS and Android
Two separate code bases double the cost of building and maintaining the app.
What we deliver
Planning and requirements
We work out who uses the app, when, and which device features it needs, and whether an app, the web or a LINE Mini App fits best.
Design and build
Screens, the app itself, the server and admin tools. We choose native or cross-platform to suit the requirements.
Store release
Submission and review for the App Store and Google Play, including how to distribute: publicly or within your company.
Operation and improvement
OS updates, bug fixes, and measuring usage to keep improving.
How we work
From understanding your work to making the software stick and improving it — eight steps, with AI at every one. Hire us for all of it, or just the step you need.
Build
We build in short cycles and check each one against real work early, so the budget goes into what actually matters.
Grow
Software only creates value once it's in use. We make it stick, measure what changed, and keep improving — until your own team can run it.
Why work with us
KPIs before code
We agree what success looks like before we start, and check it in numbers after launch.
Product people, not order-takers
We build, ship and run our own products, so we think like the owner — and we'll push back on features that won't pay off.
Deep in your business
We learn how the work really happens before deciding what to build — including whether to build at all.
In use, running smoothly
Rollout, training, maintenance and improvement are part of the job. Software nobody uses creates nothing.
You're never locked in
We leave the know-how with your team. Keep us on, or take it over — your choice.
How we measure the result
When work gets faster, the time saved is quickly filled by other work — and unless someone measures it, the value the software created simply disappears. So we measure the same process before and after, and you can see exactly what changed.
- Time per field task or report
- Errors from paper forms and re-keying
- How many users keep using the app
- Bookings or orders, and the effort to handle them
FOR ENGINEERS
For engineers
Choosing the technology
How much the app relies on device features, whether you need both iOS and Android, and who will maintain it decide between native and cross-platform development. On the server side we mostly use C#, ASP.NET Core and Azure.
Offline and sync
For places with poor signal, the app stores work on the device and syncs later. How simultaneous edits are handled is decided up front.
Authentication and data protection
We keep as little as possible on the device, and use OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect or your existing company sign-in.
How we use AI
AI speeds up design, implementation and testing, which keeps time and cost down. People review the code AI writes, and only code that passes its tests is released.
Deliverables and handover
- All app and server source code
- App Store and Google Play developer accounts in your company's name
- Design documents, runbooks and store submission materials
- Test code and test results
- Training, if your team takes over operation
First step and contract options
Start by telling us who will use the app, and when. From there we begin in one of two ways.
Plan and choose the approach
We set out the features, compare an app with the web and a LINE Mini App, choose the technology, and give you a rough cost and schedule.
Try a prototype
We prototype the main screens and features, put them in front of real users, then move to full development.
Contract options
Fixed-scope contracts that deliver an agreed scope, or time-and-materials engagements for ongoing development. We do both.
Frequently asked questions
Is the web sometimes enough?
Yes. If the app hardly uses device features, or you want to avoid the install step, a web app or LINE Mini App can be the better choice. We help you decide that first.
Can you take over an app someone else built?
Yes. We study the code and how it works, document it, then take it over.
