MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT

Mobile apps connected to the business behind them.

We design and develop mobile applications that connect users with the data, workflows and systems behind the business — from customer-facing products to operational and platform-based apps.

01 BEYOND THE INTERFACE
MORE THAN A MOBILE INTERFACE

The user sees an app. The business depends on everything behind it.

A mobile application is rarely an isolated product. Behind the screens are users, data, permissions, business rules, APIs and systems that all need to work together reliably.

The application becomes useful when the mobile experience and the systems behind it behave as one product.

OUR APPROACH

We design the mobile experience and the architecture behind it as one connected product.

02 WHAT WE BUILD
MOBILE PRODUCTS FOR DIFFERENT BUSINESS NEEDS

Different apps solve different problems.

We develop mobile applications around the role they need to play in the business — whether the app serves customers, employees, a community or users of an existing platform.

02 INTERNAL OPERATIONS

Business Apps

Applications that bring operational workflows closer to employees working away from a desk.

Field operations Tasks & approvals Data collection Internal workflows
03 COMMUNITY & PLATFORM

Community & Platform Apps

Mobile experiences built around profiles, content, communication and interaction between users.

User profiles Content & feeds Communication Community features
04 EXISTING SYSTEMS

Companion Apps

Mobile access for an existing web platform, business system or digital service.

Existing platforms ERP & business systems Customer portals Connected services
THE STARTING POINT

We do not start with “What features should the app have?”

THE BETTER QUESTION

We start with “What should people be able to accomplish?”

THE PRINCIPLE

The app should have a clear role in the product or business — not exist simply because the business wants an app.

03 CONNECTED PRODUCT
ONE PRODUCT, MULTIPLE SYSTEMS

The app may live on the phone. The product does not.

A mobile application often depends on several systems working together behind the scenes. We design those connections as part of the product — not as an afterthought once the app is built.

01 USER EXPERIENCE

Mobile App

The interface users carry with them — focused on clear actions and useful information.

02 CONNECTION LAYER
API

API Layer

The controlled connection between the app, backend services and other systems.

03 PRODUCT ENGINE

Backend

Business logic, accounts, permissions, records, workflows and application data.

THE PRODUCT CAN CONTINUE BEYOND THE BACKEND

The same data and workflows can serve more than one interface.

04 MANAGEMENT

Admin & Web Platform

Manage users, content, operations, records and application activity.

05 BUSINESS

Business Systems

Exchange relevant information with ERP, CRM, internal platforms or other software.

06 EXTERNAL SERVICES

External Services

Connect notifications, payments, maps or third-party services where required.

ARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLE

Build the app as part of a system that can evolve — not as an isolated screen sitting on top of disconnected data.

04 FROM IDEA TO PRODUCT
MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Start with the purpose. Then build the product around it.

We turn the initial idea into a working mobile product by defining what users need, what the business needs behind the app and how the complete system should work.

01 UNDERSTAND

Define the role of the app

We clarify who will use it, what they need to accomplish and how the application fits into the wider business or digital product.

02 DESIGN

Design the experience & architecture

We structure screens, user flows, data, permissions and the connections required between the app, backend and other systems.

03 BUILD

Develop the connected product

We build the mobile application together with the APIs, backend functionality and integrations required for the product to work.

04 TEST

Test real user flows

We test the important journeys across the application and connected systems — not only whether individual screens open correctly.

05 LAUNCH & EVOLVE

Publish and continue developing

We prepare the product for release and can continue improving it as real usage, requirements and business priorities evolve.

05 MOBILE APP IN PRACTICE
REAL PUBLISHED PRODUCT

From platform concept to published mobile product.

RomanoNet is a live social networking platform with published mobile applications for Android and iOS — a real example of a mobile product connected to a wider digital platform.

FROM EXPERIENCE

Mobile development is not only about getting an app into a store. It is about building a product people can actually use.

06 START A CONVERSATION
MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT

Your app should have a reason to exist.

We can help you build the product behind it.

Tell us what people should be able to do, what systems already exist and where the mobile experience fits. We can work backwards from the business need to the right product and technical approach.

Discuss Your Mobile App ↗
01 HAVE AN IDEA?

Start with what the app should help people do.

You do not need a complete feature list or technical specification before we talk.

02 HAVE A PLATFORM?

Add mobile access to an existing digital product.

We can look at the existing backend, APIs and workflows before deciding what the mobile layer requires.

03 HAVE AN EXISTING APP?

Continue developing what already exists.

Existing products can be reviewed, extended and connected as requirements and business priorities evolve.
