Mobile app development

Apps built around the way your people work

We have built apps for a wide range of business needs. Some are used every day by small teams to record time and manage jobs out in the field. Others support government and parliamentary functions, and some are public apps downloaded from the App Store and Google Play. Each one starts with the same question: what does the person holding the phone need to get done, and how do we make that quick and reliable?

What we build

  • Staff apps for time recording, job management, inspections and field reporting, built to keep working with a weak signal and sync when the connection returns
  • Apps for government and parliamentary functions, where accessibility, security and a clear audit trail matter as much as the interface
  • Public-facing apps for iOS and Android, taken from first designs through to App Store and Google Play submission and approval
  • Companion apps that bring an existing website, client portal or business system onto the phone

Connected to the systems you already run

An app is rarely useful on its own. We connect apps to your databases, line-of-business systems, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, payment providers and third-party services, so information entered on a phone appears where your office team needs it without anyone typing it in twice.

From first idea to the app stores

  1. Discovery: we talk to the people who will use the app, map the tasks it needs to support and agree what the first release must do.
  2. Design: we produce screens and a clickable prototype so you can try the app before any code is written.
  3. Build: we develop in short stages and put working versions on your devices throughout, not just at the end.
  4. Testing and release: we test on real devices, prepare the store listings and manage the review process with Apple and Google.
  5. Support: we keep the app up to date with new operating system releases and add features as your needs change.

Not sure an app is the right answer?

Sometimes a mobile-friendly web application does the job for less. We will tell you which approach suits your users and your budget before you commit to anything.
