Mobile App Development

Apps your team and customers actually use

Mobile app development is building software that runs on a phone, on iOS, Android, or both. We build with Expo and React Native, so a single codebase ships to both platforms and stays maintainable afterwards. The apps we build are not toys: they connect to the systems you already run and do real work, often in places a laptop never goes.

Most businesses do not need an app for its own sake. They need a specific job done somewhere a desk cannot reach: an engineer logging work on site, a driver capturing proof of delivery, a customer checking an order from the sofa. A website stretches to some of that, but when the job needs the camera, GPS, offline working, or push notifications, it needs an app.


What we build

Business apps tend to fall into three shapes. Each connects back to your data rather than living as an island.

Field and operations apps

For staff working away from a desk: job logging, inspections, stock counts, proof of delivery. They keep working offline and sync when a signal returns, so the depot and the field see the same picture.

Customer-facing apps

Booking, account access, order tracking, and notifications. An extension of your service that sits in someone's pocket, doing the things a website handles awkwardly.

Companion apps to existing systems

A mobile front end onto the custom software or database you already run, so there is one source of truth rather than two. The app is a new window onto your data, not a second copy of it.


One codebase, both app stores

We build cross-platform by default. A single React Native codebase, built with Expo, produces both the iOS and the Android app. You are not paying to build and maintain the same thing twice, and a fix lands on both platforms at once. Native code is there when a feature genuinely needs it, but most business apps do not.

One codebase, both stores. Cross-platform keeps build and maintenance costs down without the compromises of a website wrapped to look like an app.


How a build runs

A mobile build moves in stages you can see, so the app takes shape in front of you rather than arriving all at once.

1

Scope and platform

What the app must do, who uses it, and whether it needs offline working, camera, location, or notifications. These decisions shape everything that follows, so we make them first.

2

Design the flows

The screens and the path through each task, designed for a thumb on a small screen rather than a mouse on a large one. The right action is the easy one.

3

Build and connect

The app and its link to your back-end systems, built in increments you can try as they land. You see progress weekly, not at the end.

4

Store submission and support

We handle App Store and Play Store submission, then keep the app current as the platforms change underneath it. An app is a living thing, not a one-off delivery.


Who it is for

A mobile app earns its place when the job genuinely needs a phone, not just a smaller screen.

Your team works away from a desk. They need to capture or check information on the move, often somewhere with no reliable signal.
You want to offer customers more than a website can. Notifications, offline access, and a home-screen icon that keeps you in reach.
You already have a custom system. You want a mobile front end onto it, sharing one set of data rather than maintaining a second.
A mobile-friendly website would do. If you only need your site to work well on a phone, that is web design, not an app, and we will say so.

Where it fits

A mobile app rarely stands alone. It usually sits on top of a back-end system, whether one we build for you or one you already run, and connects through the same integration work that links your other tools. If you are not yet sure whether you need an app or a better website, Discovery will tell you before you commit.
