From a working idea to something people can download.

We build apps for iPhone and Android, both native and hybrid, and we will recommend the one that suits the job. Over the last seventeen years we have built apps for rostering, sleep treatment, brain wellness, charitable giving and field sales. Some are standalone products with their own data. Many are connected to an ERP, CRM or other system the business already runs, so that the app works from the same live information as the rest of the business.

We also work with apps that have already been started. If you have a vibe coded app or a prototype, we take it from where it is to a version that is secure, properly built and ready for the app stores.

What we build

A native app is written separately for iPhone and for Android, using the tools Apple and Google provide. It is installed from the App Store or Google Play and runs directly on the device, so it has full access to everything the phone can do and runs as fast as the phone allows. This is important for apps that leverage the hardware of your device, such as, scanning barcodes, recording and processing audio or video, tracking location in the background, working offline with a large amount of data, or running demanding animation and graphics.

A hybrid app is written once and runs on both iPhone and Android from a single codebase, using a framework such as Flutter or React Native. One build launches on both platforms at the same time. It can use the camera, location, notifications, payments and offline storage, and for everyday use it is indistinguishable from a native app. Most business apps use forms, lists, content, transactions and notifications, and a hybrid app handles all of those well.

A connected app, whether native or hybrid, reads from and writes to the systems your business already runs, such as your ERP, CRM or job management software, rather than holding its own separate copy of the data. Pricing, stock, customer records and job status in the app are the same as they are in those systems, and anything entered in the app is recorded there as well. Nearly every app we build is connected in this way, and we do the integration work first so that the app is working with reliable data from the day it launches.
