Application Development
Web and mobile apps built around how you work.
Software designed and built for your specific processes instead of a generic audience: customer portals, technician apps and admin dashboards, on the web or on iOS and Android, all working from one database.
What we build
One system for your customers, your crew and your office.
Custom software earns its cost when your process is distinctive, or when the tools you use today have to be stitched together by hand.
Web applications
Responsive and progressive web apps that run in any browser, on any device, often at a lower cost than a native app.
Mobile applications
iOS and Android apps when you need reliable offline use, push notifications, the camera or GPS, or a place in the app stores.
Customer portals
Online booking with real availability, quotes, e-signatures, online payment, service history and documents in one login.
Technician and field apps
Job details, notes, photos and checklists on a phone, with offline mode for garages, attics and low-signal buildings.
Admin dashboards
Dispatch, route planning, role-based permissions and reporting on job profitability, repeat customers and response times.
Integrations
Connections to QuickBooks, payment processors, telephony, mapping, your existing CRM and your website.
Web or mobile?
Do you need a mobile app, or is a web app enough?
A web app is often enough. We’ll tell you honestly which one your project needs.
A web app is enough when…
- Customers and staff can use it in a browser
- You want one version that works on every phone and computer
- You want a lower cost and a faster first release
- It should share branding, data and search visibility with your website
Go native when…
- Crews need it to work reliably offline
- You need push notifications
- It relies on the camera or GPS
- Being in the App Store and Google Play matters to your customers
Built by us
Apps we’ve designed, built and launched.
We build and run our own products, so we know what it takes to take an app from idea to real users.
Web app + WordPress plugin
Pixel-Lite
A free photo compressor that runs entirely in your browser. It cuts file sizes and strips hidden location data, without a single upload. We also turned it into a WordPress plugin that compresses every photo the moment it’s uploaded.
- Photos never uploaded: everything happens on your device
- No account needed, free to use
- A real result: 5.9 MB → 119 KB, 98% smaller
- The app’s compressor, ported into the WordPress plugin
Mobile-first app · now in beta
Sciurus
A calm home for today’s to-dos, with a squirrel who keeps you company while you get through them. Small steps, done together: tasks, a focus timer, goals with rewards, streaks and acorns to spend on Pip.
- Now in beta as a web app
- Works fully offline, no account needed
- Data stays on your device
- App Store and Google Play: coming soon
How we build it
Start small, ship, then grow.
Skipping the first two steps is the most common cause of overspending, so we never skip them.
1. Map the workflow
We follow a job from first call to final payment and note every handoff, spreadsheet and repeated entry.
2. Define the first version
We pick the one or two workflows that cost the most time. Everything else goes on a later list.
3. Prototype
Click-through mockups let your team react before any code is written.
4. Build and test
We test on the phones your crew actually carries, in the places they actually work.
5. Launch and measure
We roll out to a small group first, then track time per job, missed appointments and invoice turnaround.
You own it
Source code, database, domains and hosting accounts are yours, with documentation and a way to export your data.
FAQ
App development questions.
Straight answers to what business owners ask us most. Don’t see yours? Call us and talk to a real person.
Document one complete job from first inquiry to payment, noting each tool and handoff. This shows where time is lost and what the first release should fix.
Not automatically. Established platforms are faster and cheaper to start with. Custom software wins when your process is unusual, when licensing costs scale badly, or when you want full control of your data.
It depends on scope. A focused internal tool can be released in stages much sooner than a multi-platform customer and technician system. We give you a phased plan with dates tied to deliverables.
You do. Ownership of the source code, databases, domains and hosting accounts goes in the contract, along with documentation and an export process.
Usually yes, if the other system offers an API or a supported integration. We confirm this early, because integration effort strongly affects the budget.
Hosting, app-store fees if applicable, security updates, bug fixes, third-party service fees and periodic improvements as your operations change.
