Field & logistics

A mobile app for teams working away from a desk

Job lists, photo capture, signatures and status updates that keep working when the signal drops.

Typical timeline: 10-14 weeksMobile App Development

An illustrative build, not a client case study. Timelines and scope are typical ranges - yours gets estimated properly after discovery.

The problem it solves

Field teams get their work on paper or over WhatsApp, and the office finds out what happened at the end of the day. Anything that changes mid-morning is invisible until someone phones in.

How we approach it

  1. 1

    Design for one hand, gloves and bright sunlight before designing for anything else.

  2. 2

    Store everything locally first and sync when a connection returns, so a lost signal never loses work.

  3. 3

    Give the office a live view of job status without anyone having to call.

  4. 4

    Test it with the people who will actually carry the phone, on their own devices.

What it includes

  • iOS and Android from one codebase
  • Offline-first job list with background sync
  • Photo, note and signature capture
  • Live status board for the office
  • Push notifications for new or changed jobs
  • App Store and Play Store submission

Also possible

Other things we build

ERP & CRM Integration

Veltro Dynamic Zoho Integration

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extension that synchronizes customers, items, invoices, and sales orders with Zoho CRM using configurable table and field mappings. Synchronization runs manually, on a schedule, or in real time - in either direction.

Service businesses

A customer portal that takes work off your inbox

Self-service accounts, documents, requests and status tracking - so routine questions stop arriving by phone and email.

Operations

Replacing the spreadsheet everything runs on

A workflow tool built around how your team actually works - with the audit trail and reporting a spreadsheet cannot give you.

Stack

Technologies we'd use

We choose the right tool for the job — not a fixed stack. Below are typical choices for this type of build.

React Native, Expo, TypeScript
Flutter, Dart (alternative)
SQLite/Realm/CoreData for offline
Firebase/FCM/APNs for push
Fastlane, EAS Build
Sentry, Amplitude

Process

How this engagement typically runs

Six steps from discovery to a system your team can own. We adapt the depth of each step to your context.

01

Discovery

Ride along with field teams — map job flows, connectivity gaps, device constraints, and paperwork pain points.

02

Architecture

Choose framework (RN/Flutter), offline sync strategy, background job queue, and store deployment pipeline.

03

Design

One-handed, high-contrast prototypes tested on-site in sunlight; design tokens mapped to native components.

04

Build

Two-week sprints delivering TestFlight/Play Console builds with crash reporting, OTA updates, and automated E2E tests.

05

Launch

Phased rollout by crew/region, hypercare sprint with in-app feedback, and office dashboard sign-off.

06

Evolve

Route optimization, barcode scanning, asset tracking, OS updates, or handover to your mobile team.

FAQ

A mobile app for teams working away from a desk - common questions

Full offline-first: jobs, photos, signatures, and notes stored locally. Background sync queue flushes automatically when connection returns — zero data loss.
Yes. Live dashboard shows job assignments, progress, photos, and signatures as they sync. WebSocket fallback for near-real-time on WiFi.
Yes. Including listing copy, screenshots, privacy manifests, review responses, and phased rollout config for both stores.
iOS 15+, Android 10+. We test on your team's actual devices (rugged tablets, standard phones) during development.
Yes. REST/GraphQL API layer connects to your Business Central, Dynamics 365, or custom dispatch system — bidirectional sync.
