An app your customers and staff want to use
A mobile app keeps you in constant touch with users: it is always at hand, works fast and can send notifications. It works both as a channel for customers — for orders, bookings or a loyalty programme — and as a tool for employees in the field.
We build apps for iOS and Android from the concept and interface design, through connecting them with your systems, to publishing them on the App Store and Google Play. When the app needs a back end — a panel for managing content, users or orders — we build it as a web application.
What we do
Apps for iOS and Android
One app for both systems or separate versions — we choose the approach to fit the features and budget.
UX/UI design
We design the interface for small screens and gestures, so the most important tasks can be done quickly.
Back end and API
We build the back end and API or connect the app with your existing systems.
Push notifications
We inform users about orders, appointments and news at the right moment.
Publishing in the stores
We prepare the app for the App Store and Google Play and take it through the review process.
Support and development
After launch we update the app for new system versions and extend it with new features.
What businesses use mobile apps for
An app makes sense when it solves a specific problem for its users. These are the most common uses of apps in businesses.
Sales and orders
Quick ordering, purchase history and in-app payments, connected with your store.
Bookings and appointments
Scheduling visits, reminders and managing bookings.
Loyalty programme
Points, coupons and offers for regular customers.
Field work
Jobs, reports and photos from the work site sent straight to your company’s system.
Customer communication
Notifications, messages and case statuses without phone calls and e-mails.
Access to company systems
Mobile access to your CRM, B2B platform or a portal for customers and employees.
How the process works
1
Analysis and concept
We learn the app’s purpose and users, and agree on the first version’s features and how it will connect with your systems.
2
UX/UI design
We design the screens and user flows. You can review a clickable design before development starts.
3
Development
We build the app and its back end in stages, showing progress regularly.
4
Testing
We check how the app works on different devices and system versions, and how it communicates with the API.
5
Publishing and support
We publish the app in the stores and develop it further based on user feedback.
How much does a mobile app cost?
The cost depends mainly on the scope of features. The estimate is influenced by:
- the number of screens and features,
- one app for both systems or separate versions,
- the back end — a new one or a connection with an existing system,
- integrations, e.g. payments, maps or notifications,
- the graphic design and animations.
We often start with a version containing the most important features and develop it based on user feedback. We prepare the estimate after analysing the requirements. Request an estimate or get in touch.
Why Appinet
We see a mobile app as part of a bigger picture — together with the back end, integrations and your company’s systems. Thanks to our experience with web applications, APIs and e-commerce, we build apps that not only look good but also exchange data reliably with the rest of your business.
Frequently asked questions about mobile apps
One app for iOS and Android or two separate ones?
In many cases one app running on both systems is enough — it is faster and cheaper. Separate versions make sense with special requirements regarding performance or device features. We advise after analysing the project.
Will you publish the app on the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare the store materials and take the app through the publishing process.
Will the app connect with my store or system?
Yes. We connect apps with existing systems via an API, and if there is none, we build it.
Will the app work without an internet connection?
It depends on the features. Some data can be available offline and synchronise once the connection returns — we decide this during the design stage.
How long does it take to build an app?
It depends on the scope of features. We present a schedule with dates for each stage after analysing the requirements.
Will you look after the app after launch?
Yes. We update the app for new iOS and Android versions, fix bugs and extend it with new features.
