01 — The problem
Why this usually goes wrong.
Field teams fill paper forms and WhatsApp groups, and the office re-keys everything.
Customers expect to book, pay and track from their phone.
Scope
What the engagement covers
Field service apps
Job lists, routes, check-in and check-out, photos, signatures, checklists and parts used, synced back to the CRM. They work offline and sync when signal returns.
Customer apps & portals
Bookings, orders, account statements, service requests and notifications, connected to the same back end as your web portal.
Internal tools
Approvals, inspections, stock counts and timesheets for staff, distributed through the stores or privately through device management.
Native vs cross-platform
Cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) for most business apps, from one codebase. Native Swift or Kotlin where heavy device features or performance demand it.
Store release & maintenance
App Store and Google Play submission, review handling, OS-version updates and crash monitoring.

Straight answer
Do you need an app at all?
If your users sit at desks or visit occasionally, a responsive web portal is cheaper to build and maintain than an app. We’ll tell you when that’s the case.
Apps earn their cost for field teams who need offline access, the camera, GPS or barcode scanning, and for customers who use your service weekly.
Every app needs updates for new iOS and Android versions each year. We price maintenance up front so it’s not a surprise.

FAQ
Questions we get about mobile apps
Native or cross-platform?
Cross-platform suits most business apps and halves the codebase. We recommend native when the app depends on heavy device integration, complex animation or platform-specific features.
Can the app work offline?
Yes. Field apps store jobs and forms locally and sync when connectivity returns, with conflict handling for records edited in two places.
Do you publish to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes, under your developer accounts. For internal apps we can distribute privately through Apple Business Manager, managed Google Play or your MDM.
Can the app connect to Zoho or Salesforce?
Yes. Field and customer apps commonly read and write CRM records directly, so office and field teams work from the same data.
