Mobile Apps on the Same Data As Your CRM
When your team works in the field or your customers expect an app, we build Android and iOS apps that share data with the systems you already run.
Illustration of a made-up staff app.
Who This Is For
An app earns its place when people need to do something specific, often, away from a desk. These are the situations where it usually does.
Your Team Works Away From a Desk
Salespeople, technicians or site staff spend the day travelling, and they need today’s list, a customer’s details and a way to record what happened.
Visit Notes Arrive on WhatsApp
Photos, notes and sign-offs come in as chat messages, and someone in the office types them up later.
Your Customers Ask for an App
They want to check status, book, or send documents from their phone, and a website alone feels clumsy for that.
Your System Is Painful on a Phone
Your CRM or admin panel technically opens on a phone, but it was built for a laptop, so nobody uses it on the move.
You’re Not Sure You Need an App at All
Someone suggested an app, but you’d like an honest view of whether a mobile-friendly web app would do the same job.
Managers Need Answers on the Move
Owners and team leads want to check today’s numbers or approve something from their phone, without opening a laptop.
When a Phone Becomes the Bottleneck
Plenty of business apps shouldn’t exist. But when work happens away from a desk, the wrong tool on a phone slows everyone down.
Field Work Runs on WhatsApp and Paper
Visit notes, photos and sign-offs arrive in chats and notebooks, and someone types them up later.
The Same Data Is Entered Twice
Staff record things on their phones, then the office enters them again into the main system.
Desktop Software on a Small Screen
Your existing system technically works on a phone, but it’s slow and fiddly to use on the move.
An App Idea Without a Clear Job
It’s easy to spend months building an app nobody opens, because the one task it should do was never pinned down.
Another Island of Data
A separate app with its own database means two versions of the truth.
Nobody Plans for Updates
Android and iOS change every year. An app built once and never looked at again slowly stops working properly, or gets removed from the stores.
What We Build
We start by asking whether you need an app at all. When you do, it’s built around one or two jobs done well, and it shares its data with the systems you already run, so nobody types the same thing twice.
App or Web App: An Honest Answer
Many needs are met by a fast mobile web app. We’ll tell you which fits before you spend anything.
Android and iOS Apps
Apps for your staff or your customers, designed for the tasks they do most often.
Built on Your CRM’s Data
The app reads and writes the same records as your CRM, so the office and the field see the same thing. See custom CRM development.
Role-Based Access
Each person sees only what their role needs.
Reminders and Notifications
Timely nudges for the things that matter, without flooding people’s phones.
Tested on Real Devices
Checked on ordinary phones and network conditions, not just the latest models.
Store Publishing Support
Help preparing and submitting to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
A Clear First Version
A focused first release with the one or two screens that matter, so people actually start using it.
Simple Sign-In
Sign-in that suits the people using the app, with access removed straight away when someone leaves your team.
How an App Project Runs
We pin down the one job the app must do well before designing a single screen. The written plan sets out the dates.
Discovery
Who will use the app, where, and the task it needs to make easier.
Plan Sign-Off
Screens, data and timeline in writing, plus the honest app-or-web-app answer.
Build
Built in rounds, with a working version on your phone early.
Testing
Tested on real phones and patchy networks before each release.
Launch
Store submission or rollout to your team, with help for the first users.
Training
Training as agreed for your team, on the tasks they’ll do every day.
Support
A maintenance plan can cover updates for new phone versions and small improvements.
What You Get at Handover
Clear agreements on accounts and ownership, plus the notes your team needs.
Store Accounts
The app is published under Google Play and Apple developer accounts set up in your name or managed by us, as agreed for your project.
App and Code Ownership
Ownership of the app and its code is agreed in writing for each project.
User Access Notes
How to add and remove users, and how roles control what each person sees.
Release Notes
What’s in each version, so you know what changed and when.
Training As Agreed
Training as agreed for your team, for the people who will use the app every day.
Data Notes
What the app reads and writes, and how it connects to your CRM.
Support and Maintenance After Launch
Phones and app stores change every year. New operating system versions, new store rules, new devices. A maintenance plan can keep your app working and accepted by the stores.
It also gives you a simple way to improve the app based on how people really use it, one small change at a time.
You deal directly with the person who built it.
What a Plan Can Cover
- Updates for new Android and iOS versions
- Fixes if something stops working
- Small improvements based on how people use it
- Help with store review questions
- Keeping the connection to your CRM working
What your plan includes is written down before you sign it.
Relevant Work
App case studies will appear here once each client has approved them in writing.
Tell us what your team or customers need to do on their phones, and we’ll tell you honestly whether an app is the answer.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
Do We Need an App, or a Mobile-Friendly Web App?
It depends on the job. Web apps are quicker to ship and update; native apps suit tasks that need the phone’s features or offline use. We’ll recommend one on the first call.
Can You Build for Both Android and iOS?
Yes, apps can be built for both platforms.
Can the App Use Our CRM Data?
Yes. Building on the same data as your CRM is the point, so nothing is entered twice.
Will It Work with Poor Network?
We test on patchy networks. Whether the app needs to work fully offline is something we decide together in the plan, because it changes how it’s built.
Who Publishes the App to the Stores?
We help prepare and submit it. Store accounts are set up in your name or managed by us, as agreed for your project.
Can Customers Use It Too?
Yes, apps can be built for customers as well as staff. Customer apps need extra care around sign-up and support, which we plan for.
What Happens When Phones Update?
New Android and iOS versions sometimes need small changes. A maintenance plan can cover those.
Who Owns the App?
Ownership of the app, its code and the store listings is agreed in writing for each project, before work starts.
Can We Start with One Feature?
Yes, and we usually recommend it. A focused first version that people actually use is a better base than a large app nobody opens.
How Is It Priced?
Every app is quoted after we understand what it needs to do. The first consultation is free.
What to Bring to the First Call
None of this is required. But the more of it you can share, the more specific our advice on the call can be.
- Who would use the app: your staff, your customers, or both.
- The one or two things they most need to do on their phone.
- Whether they work with poor network or need to use it offline.
- Which system the app’s data should come from, such as your CRM.
- Any app you like using, to show the feel you’re after.
