Mobile App Development With The System Behind It

An app your customers or your staff carry in their pocket, built as an extension of a custom SaaS application. It signs in to the same accounts and works from the same data. The phone and the browser always agree.

The app is quoted with the application it extends. Applications start from £8,500.

Mobile App Development

The App Is An Extension Of The System

A mobile app on its own has very little to do. It lives on the accounts, the bookings and the data of the system behind it. So we build the two as one piece of work. It is one system, reached from a browser and from a phone.

Every app we build connects back to the same system as the application it extends. A booking made on a phone is the booking your staff see in the browser. A customer who changes their details once has changed them everywhere.

Why It Is Built With The System

A Phone App That Fits The Rest Of Your Application

Because we build both, one quotation prices them and one service looks after them.

One Supplier, One Quotation

We design and build both in house and quote them together, so you never referee an app agency and a software house.

Browser Or Native, Chosen For The Job

An app installed from the browser is often the whole answer, at far less cost. When the work needs something only a native iOS or Android app can do, we build that; the Scoping Sprint settles which.

Built And Tested Together

A screen added on the phone is checked against the browser before either reaches your customers.

Looked After Together

On the Managed Service we look after both as one system in your own Google Cloud project. Run them yourselves and both are handed over with the code, the configuration and the documentation.

Where It Runs

The Project It Runs In Is Yours

The app and the application share one Google Cloud project. It is registered to your company, under your own Google billing account, from the first day.

The app's server-side parts live there too. Google bills that project to you directly, at Google's own prices. We work in it with the access you grant, and you can narrow or remove that access whenever you choose. Who owns what, and who pays for what, is set out in full on the custom SaaS page.

How We Quote An App And The System Behind It

One quotation covers both, and it is fixed before any chargeable work begins.

  1. Describe It

    Tell us what the app has to do, who will use it and what it connects to. We reply in writing within one working day.

  2. Scope It

    The Scoping Sprint turns that into a written specification and a fixed-price Quotation for the app and the application together, with a date.

  3. Build It

    We design and build both in your own Google Cloud project, under the access you grant.

  4. Decide Who Runs It

    Once it is built, the Managed Service or your own team. Running it is never bundled into the price of building it.

The figures for the Sprint, the application and the Managed Service are published on the custom SaaS page.

FAQ

Common Questions About Mobile Apps

Do You Build Mobile Apps?

Yes, as extensions of custom SaaS applications. Every useful app has software behind it: sign-in, data, bookings. We design and build the app and that system together, in a Google Cloud project your company owns, and quote them as one.

Can You Build Just An App On Its Own?

No. An app with no system behind it has nowhere to keep its data. Where that system does not exist yet, we build it as a custom SaaS application and the app extends it. If you already run a system the app would talk to, tell us what it is, and we will tell you what the next step would be.

How Much Does A Mobile App Cost To Build In The UK?

An app is quoted with the application it extends, as one fixed price. Applications start from £8,500, and the Scoping Sprint fixes your figure in writing before the build begins. What the app adds depends on what it has to do, which is why the Sprint prices it.

Do We Need A Native App Or Just The Browser?

Often the browser is enough. A browser app can sit on a phone's home screen without going through an app store, and it costs less to build. A native app is worth it when you need what only a native app can do. We will tell you which, even when the answer is the smaller piece of work.

Who Owns The App?

Your company does, once it is paid for, along with the application it extends. The Google Cloud project they both run in is yours from the first day.

Who Looks After The App Once It Is Built?

You choose. On the Managed Service we look after the app and the application together. Or we hand everything over and your own team runs it. That decision comes after the work is built, and it is priced separately.
