Cross-platform or native?

For most business apps a shared React Native codebase ships both platforms at near-native quality for a fraction of the cost. We go fully native only when a specific capability demands it.

Services / Mobile

Android and iOS apps that talk to the rest of your stack

An app that doesn't share data with your website and back office creates a second copy of every problem. We build mobile apps as another window into one system: the same customers, the same inventory, the same bookings your website and dashboard see.

Systems this connects to

API layerPaymentsPush notificationsCRMPOS

One backend, every screen

The app consumes the same API as your website and admin dashboard, so nothing is entered twice.

Offline-tolerant where it matters

Staff tools keep working through spotty connectivity and sync when the network returns.

Native where it counts

Camera, notifications, wallet passes, and location integrated properly rather than webviews pretending.

How it runs

The mobile process

Decide what deserves an app

Not everything does. We scope the flows where a home-screen icon genuinely beats the browser.

Design for thumbs

Purpose-built mobile flows, not shrunken desktop screens.

Build on shared rails

The API serves the app, the site, and the dashboard from one source of truth.

Ship through the stores

Review requirements, store listings, and release pipelines handled end to end.

Questions

Mobile apps FAQs

Usually the website comes first — it's where search traffic lands. An app earns its place when customers return frequently: ordering, booking, loyalty. We'll tell you plainly if an app isn't justified yet.
