Apps for office and field work

People who work on the shop floor, in the warehouse or at a client's site need the same data as the office, just on a smaller screen and often wearing gloves. We build apps that work there. As a web app when that is enough, and as a native app when the device matters.

Does this sound familiar?

Field staff write things down on paper and type them up in the office in the evening.
The existing app only runs on old devices and nobody maintains it any more.
Delivery notes and photos reach the office through a messenger.
There is hardly any signal on the shop floor, so everything there stays on paper.

What you get

Web app or native app
A web app runs on any device without installation. We build native apps for iOS and Android when the camera, a scanner or offline use matter.
Working without a connection
The app stores entries on the device and syncs them as soon as there is a connection again.
Scanner, camera, signature
Scan barcodes, attach photos straight to the order and let the client sign on the device.
The same data as the office
Whatever is recorded outside is visible inside straight away. Nobody has to retype notes or sort photos.

How it works

Typical duration, depending on scope.

1 to 2 weeksWe go along with your people while they work and see where they work and on which devices.
A few daysTogether we decide whether a web app is enough or a native app is needed, and what comes first.
6 to 12 weeksWe build the app. Your team tests early versions on their own devices.
OngoingWe publish the app, keep it up to date for new iOS and Android versions and keep extending it.

Questions about this

Web app or native app, which do we need?

For many internal workflows a web app is enough. It runs everywhere and is quicker to build. A native app is worth it when people often work without a connection or use the scanner and camera all the time.

Will the app be in the App Store?

If it is meant to be public, yes, through your own developer account. Internal apps can also be handed out to your staff only, without a public listing.

Will the app run on the devices we already have?

Usually it will. We check this at the start with the exact devices you use, including older models and handheld scanners.
