Mobile apps for the work done away from a desk.

Build Android and iOS apps for customer orders, bookings, field work and deliveries. Our mobile app development connects the app to your business systems and covers testing and app store submission. We help you choose a shared codebase or native development based on the features your users need.

Driver app

Example

Release 2: proof of delivery

  1. Tested on 12 Android and iPhone models
  2. 6 drivers used it for a week on real routes
  3. All 418 delivery photos reached the office

  4. Send release 2 to the app stores?

An example with made-up figures. The buttons send nothing.

How mobile app development works.

  1. You name who uses it

    Field staff, drivers or customers, and the one job the app has to make easier for them, such as a site report or a repeat order.

  2. You try it on your phone

    A working demo every week, installed on your own phones, so you judge the app by using it, not by reading a status report.

  3. It goes to the stores

    Once your team signs off, we publish it to the App Store and Google Play and connect it to your live systems.

  • Today

    Site reports come back on paper

    With an app

    Jobs, checklists and photos on one phone

    Engineers and inspectors get the day's jobs on their phone, fill in the checklist on site, add photos and take the customer's signature. The finished report reaches the office without anyone typing up a paper form.

    No retypingof paper forms back at the office

  • Today

    Nobody knows where the deliveries are

    With an app

    Every drop confirmed from the driver's phone

    Drivers see their stops for the day, mark each delivery done and record proof with a photo or a signature. Dispatchers follow progress on screen instead of calling drivers on the road.

    Proofof every delivery, on record

  • Today

    Customers phone and email their orders

    With an app

    Orders and bookings placed in your own app

    Customers order or book from their phone whenever it suits them, and repeat a past order in a few taps. Each one lands in your ERP or booking system directly, so nobody keys it in from an email.

    Directinto your system, with no rekeying

    Start a project
  • Today

    Customers keep calling to ask where things are

    With an app

    Status updates that arrive before anyone asks

    Customers follow their order, repair or appointment in your app and get a notification when it moves on. Your team spends less of the day answering the same status calls.

How you stay in control.

An app carries your name onto your customers' phones, so it has to be right. Every app we ship follows these four rules.

  • No release reaches users without a yes

    Each version goes to a small group of your own staff on test phones first. It goes to the app stores only when the person you name approves it.

    • You choose who signs off each release
    • Tried on your own phones before launch
    • A working demo every week

  • Your app and data stay yours

    The code sits in your own repository, the app is listed under your company's own store accounts, and its data lives in your own cloud account.

    • Data kept in your cloud account
    • Signed NDA, MSA and DPA on file
    • Store accounts in your company's name

  • Connected to the systems your office uses

    The app works from the same records as your ERP, CRM and booking system, so nobody copies data from a phone into the office system. Our team also builds ERPs and booking systems, so we handle the office side of the connection as well.

    • Connects to ERP, CRM and booking systems
    • React Native, Kotlin or Swift, picked per app
    • Documented as we go

  • You see progress, spend and use

    Every week you see what was finished and what has been spent against the plan. After launch you also see how many people use the app and where it crashes.

    • Progress against the plan, every week
    • Spend shown against the fixed price
    • Crash reports from the first day

Mobile app project timeline.

Stop after any stage you like. In week three the main screens are already on your own phone, ready to tap through.

  1. Week 1

    Audit

    We go out with the people who will use the app, see where paper and phone calls slow them down and agree on the first release.

    You end withA plan and a fixed price.

  2. Weeks 2 to 3

    Prototype

    A clickable version of the main screens, on real phones. Your staff or a few customers try it and tell us what gets in their way.

    You end withScreens your users have approved.

  3. Weeks 4 to 8

    Build

    We build the first release for Android and iPhone with a working demo every week, connected to your systems and checked by your IT team.

    You end withAn app your IT team has signed off.

  4. Weeks 9 to 10

    Go live

    We publish it to the app stores. One group uses it first, then everyone, and we fix what real use turns up.

    You end withAn app in the stores, and a plan for the next release.

After launch we keep the app current as Android and iOS release new versions, or hand it to your team with full documentation. Your choice.

Start with a free first step.

Bring the paper form, phone line or order inbox you want an app to replace. On day five you know what the first release does, who uses it and what it costs, before anyone writes code.

    Being associated with iTechnoSol was a pleasant and satisfying experience. They are good at many things, but I can't forget these two things in particular - their speed of response and clear understanding of my ideas. The team is really talented and was always available to answer my questions and to provide feedback. They beautifully nurtured the project and delivered it accordingly. I am delighted with them. Such a catch!

  • I am looking forward to giving my future projects to iTechnoSol again.

    Read the full quote from Web app redesign client

    I already had a web application, but it was not up to the mark. So, I gave that project to iTechnoSol and told them that they are free to do anything, just give me a trendy but user-friendly app. I thought that redesigning existing projects is quite tough as the teams have to mold their thought processes according to my comfort zone, but I must say that they left no loophole in their work and offered a design that is a treat to the eyes! I am looking forward to giving my future projects to iTechnoSol again.

    We needed user-friendly software for customers so that they can get easy access to our services even without any admin support. When we discussed the project with iTechnoSol, they understood our ideas of business in detail and promised to deliver what we wanted. And yes, they have kept their promise. Keep up the good work, iTechnoSol. We hope we meet again soon for other projects shortly.

  • iTechnoSol stood behind us like a rock!

    Read the full quote from Outsourcing client, four-person team

    We are a team of four people who dream big and take a lot of projects altogether. So, we often need to outsource some of our software projects. We came to know about iTechnoSol from one of our clients, and we approached them. Within a day or two, they arranged an enthusiastic and dedicated development team through their software consultancy services! That project was big and very important for us, and we must say iTechnoSol stood behind us like a rock! Thank you buddies for all your love and support. We highly recommend this software company.

Mobile app questions.

What buyers ask before an app goes to the stores: price, one app or two, and what happens with no signal.

Should we build a native app or use React Native?

The choice depends on device features, performance needs, existing code and how much behavior the platforms share. React Native can share substantial application code; native Android or iOS development may suit platform-specific requirements. We scope those tradeoffs before estimating.

How much does it cost to build a mobile app for a business?

The price moves with the number of screens, one shared app or separate Android and iPhone builds, offline working and the systems the app connects to. The free 5-day audit ends with a fixed price for the first release, and you agree to nothing before you see it.

Should we build one app for Android and iPhone, or two?

Most business apps work well from one shared codebase in React Native, which means one app to build and keep up. When an app needs more from the phone, such as heavy camera or sensor use, we build natively in Kotlin for Android and Swift for iPhone. The audit tells you which fits, and why.

Will the app work without a phone signal?

It can. Field and driver apps can save work on the phone and send it when the signal comes back, so a basement or a rural road does not stop the job. We agree in the audit which screens need to work offline.

Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We prepare the store listings and take the app through each store's review, under your company's own developer accounts. An app only your staff use can be handed out privately instead of listed for the public.

Who owns the app once it is built?

Your company does, from the start. The app is listed under your own App Store and Google Play accounts, the code sits in your own code repository and the data in your cloud account, all documented. If we stop working together, you owe nothing extra and we hold nothing back.

How do we work with a team based in India?

The first call is with one of our founders. We share 3 to 4 working hours with the US and UK, keep you updated in your own tools and reply within 4 business hours.
