When it comes to mobile app development, we specialize in custom solutions that integrate with your existing business systems to make your operations more efficient.
During our prototyping process, we hone in on exactly how the app will work before one lick of code is written, helping us avoid expensive rework. We are highly skilled at producing apps for both iOS and Android.
Success Story: Dog Inspectors Mobile App
With an internal “corporate use only” mobile app, information gathered in the field is promptly piped to the individuals who need it fast. For example, rather than working with paper and clipboards to take orders or conduct an inventory review in the field, data is input in real-time and made available to supervisors leading to faster decision making. In the past, it can take a week or two to have paperwork delivered to headquarters, keyed in, and available for analysis. With your field reps keying the data in themselves, we eliminate this step as well as reduce re-keying errors.
An easy question to ask yet hard to answer without asking you some questions. It’s one thing to build a website or web application. It’s a whole other ballgame to develop a mobile app that needs to be written for two platforms and integrate securely with your corporate databases. During our initial no-cost discovery meetings, we always ask the following questions:
With the answers to the questions above you can start to see that there is a lot more to mobile app development than meets the eye. One advantage of business field apps is you can mandate the use of one type of phone over another since you’re the one buying them. Why develop for iOS when your standard-issue phones are Android-based? Another advantage that leads to keeping costs down is you don’t need “award-winning” design. Form follows function with this type of mobile app. However, don’t underestimate the time it will take to prototype the app and program the admin web application that the app talks to. A basic app that includes one mobile platform and database integration can easily start at $10,000. When you begin adding functionality such as mapping, GPS, and photo storage, the price will increase commensurately.
