Your business processes and services, right in your users’ pockets
Design an ultra-fast custom mobile app for your field teams or your clients. Native performance, offline mode and ease of use.
Designed for action
The information gap between the field and the office
It should make information easy to view, enter or approve in a few gestures, sometimes without a connection and in situations where the user’s attention is limited.
Paper reports or voice notes retyped at home in the evening
Your technicians or sales reps in the field waste precious time re-entering their jobs once back at the office.
No network, no access to information
In a basement or a dead zone, your staff are cut off from their tools and stuck in their work.
A consumer app abandoned after two uses
Slow or poorly designed generic apps are uninstalled by users straight away.
Understanding our approach to mobile development
A business mobile app should not be a mere copy of your website. It is a fast data entry and lookup tool designed for quick action, usable one-handed and perfectly optimised for smartphone hardware.
The functional building blocks of a modern mobile app
Offline mode management (Offline-First)
The app embeds a local database (SQLite/WatermelonDB). If the network drops, the user keeps working. As soon as 4G/5G returns, the data is synchronised with the server with no loss whatsoever.
Multimedia capture & Annotation
Take photos directly with the phone’s camera, annotate the image (drawing, circling), and automatically geolocate the job site.
On-screen signature & Barcode/QR scanning
Turn the smartphone into an industrial scanner to read stock labels or have a client sign a delivery note on the touchscreen.
Targeted push notifications
Send instant alerts to the home screen to reassign a task or flag an emergency.
The technology used: high-performance cross-platform
We use frameworks such as React Native or Flutter. This allows us to develop a single codebase that runs smoothly and natively on iOS (iPhone) and Android, halving development costs and timescales without sacrificing performance.
Intuitive mobile apps, built for action
Hybrid operation & Offline mode (Offline-First)
Your teams keep working without a connection. The app synchronises data automatically as soon as the network is back.
Native smartphone features
Annotated photo capture, on-screen electronic signature, geolocation and instant push notifications.
Responsive architecture and clean design
An interface designed to be used on a worksite or between two appointments, with no loading time.

Frequently asked questions
01Our technicians often work in basements with no 4G/5G coverage — will the application still work?
Yes, absolutely. We design our mobile applications “offline-first”. Your teams enter their data as usual and the application synchronises everything with the server as soon as a network connection is available.
02Do we have to pay for two separate developments for iPhone (iOS) and Android?
No. Thanks to high-performance cross-platform frameworks (such as React Native), we develop a single codebase that natively generates the application for both iOS and Android, halving the cost.
03How long does it take to publish the app on the App Store and Google Play?
Once development is approved, we handle the entire submission process with Apple and Google. Official approval generally takes between 3 and 7 days.
04Can the phone be used to scan QR codes or have a client sign?
Yes, we make full use of the smartphone’s hardware features: camera for barcode/QR code scanning, on-screen touch signature, geolocation and push notifications.
05Who owns the developer account on the app stores?
It’s your company. We set everything up in your company’s name so that you remain 100% owner of the accounts, the application and your brand.
