Systems
Mobile Apps That Connect to the Rest of Your Business
iOS and Android apps built to talk to your existing systems, not sit prettily on their own doing nothing useful.
A mobile app that doesn't connect to anything is a glorified brochure with a battery drain. We build mobile applications for iOS and Android that integrate directly with your existing CRM, ERP, stock or booking systems, so field staff, customers or engineers get real-time, accurate data on their phone rather than yesterday's export. Built around your actual workflow, tested properly, and maintained afterwards, because an app that stops working after the first OS update is worse than no app at all.

Expert insight
Why the app store submission is the easy part
Getting an app onto the App Store or Google Play is the easy, well-documented bit. The hard part — the bit most cheap app builds skip — is making sure that app connects properly and securely to the systems that hold your actual business data.
We build the integration layer with the same care as the app itself, so field staff, engineers or customers see live, accurate information rather than a snapshot from last week's data export. That's the difference between an app that gets used daily and one that gets deleted within a month.
We also don't disappear after launch. Operating systems update constantly, and an app that isn't maintained will eventually break — usually at the worst possible moment. Ongoing support keeps it working quietly in the background.
How we do it
Six steps to implementation
- 01
Requirements and user research
We find out who'll use the app, and what they actually need it to do.
- 02
Integration and architecture design
Connections to existing systems planned before design work begins.
- 03
UI/UX design
Designed for the people using it, not for an awards submission.
- 04
Build and integration
App and back-end integration built and tested together, not bolted on at the end.
- 05
Testing and app store submission
Thorough testing across devices, then submission and approval handled for you.
- 06
Maintenance and support
Ongoing UK-based support and updates to keep the app working as OS versions change.

Questions
Frequently asked
Do you build for both iOS and Android?+
Yes, our mobile app development covers both iOS and Android, and we’ll advise on native versus cross-platform depending on your requirements, timeline and budget. Native apps suit performance-heavy or device-specific features, while cross-platform can be more cost-effective for simpler tools. Either way, the app is built around what your business actually needs rather than a default choice.
Can the app connect to our existing systems?+
Yes, connecting to your existing CRM, ERP or other business systems is core to how we approach mobile app development. We build secure, documented integrations so field staff or customers get live, accurate data rather than a disconnected app. It means the app becomes part of your wider systems rather than a separate silo.
Does the app work without an internet connection?+
We can build offline functionality into your mobile app development project, letting users keep working without a connection and syncing data automatically once it’s restored. That’s particularly useful for field-based UK teams working in areas with patchy signal. Conflicts between offline and online changes are handled sensibly rather than causing data loss.
Who handles app store submission?+
We manage the App Store and Google Play submission process for you as part of mobile app development, handling the technical requirements, listings and review process. That saves you wrestling with platform-specific rules and rejection reasons. We also handle resubmissions if either store requests changes before approval.
What happens when a new OS version is released?+
Ongoing maintenance keeps your app compatible with new iOS and Android releases, which is essential given how often operating systems change. As part of mobile app development we monitor for breaking changes and update the app proactively rather than waiting for it to stop working. That keeps the app reliable without you having to track OS updates yourself.
