Custom mobile apps
An application for the end customer (loyalty program, product control, orders), for the field team (salespeople, service technicians, warehouse workers) or for B2B trade. Native to iOS and Andswarmd. KG Electronics commissioned us with the Smart Control APP: 1,000+ downloads on Google Play, boiler control from your phone.
If you recognize at least two, it makes sense to talk about the mobile app.
01
A responsive website is not enough. The customer does not log in via the browser every time: he wants an icon on the start screen, a push notification about a promotion, an offer for returning customers.
02
Salespeople, service technicians, warehouse workers, drivers: they work on their phones. The website opened on the phone does not support code scanning, signature, GPS, camera. Each time the browser is opened, it yeses an additional step for the customer.
03
A controller, an HVAC unit, lighting, an alarm system. Customers buy "the one with the app" before they even notice the brand. Without an app, you'll be left out of in-store comparisons.
04
Push notifications, biometrics, camera, GPS, offline mode, deep linking, In-App Purchase, all this only works in the native application published on Google Play and App Store. PWA does not cover such needs.
A clickable prototype in a test environment before we write a single line of production code. Payment in four installments.
Week 1
Map of usage spricerios (end customer, field team, B2B), list of integrations (your API, ERP, payment gateway), decisions on what MVP counts. Deposit: 30%.
Weeks 2–3
Clickable app prototype in Figma. Every screen, every gesture, every error state. Tests on real phones: iOS and Andswarmd, average Andswarmd from 2022, older iPhones.
End of Week 3
You approve the prototype. We won't start building the MVPithout your approval. Upon approval: another 30%.
Weeks 4–7
An iOS and Andswarmd app built with Flutter (one codebase, two platforms). Weekly TestFlight and APK releases for internal testing. Integration with your API. After the MVP release: another 30%.
Week 8
Configuration of developer accounts, screenshots, store descriptions, Apple and Google verification. First 30 days after publication: monitoring of failure reports, ratings, reviews. After implementation: last 10%.
This is the biggest difference compared to the website. The application is one tap away. No logging in every time, no browser searches, no extra steps.
Promotions, order status, device alerts, payment reminders. Push notifications are opened much more often than emails, with no cost per message and no need for separate GDPR consent.
Biometrics (FaceID, Touch ID), camera with OCR, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS in the background, deep linking with SMS / email, In-App Purchase with 30% Apple commission. A native app gives you what a website will never give you.
Customers can see the number of downloads, the star rating, and reviews. A developer with an app on Google Play that has a 4+ star rating comes out on top in comparisons on the store and with the distributor.
A real client, a real app in the app store with reviews. Download it and check it out before you send the brief.

7 questions
Before you send the brief, read the 7-question filter that we use to check ourselves. What distinguishes a mobile software development company from a regular one, when native and when PWA, how to verify the portfolio.
Read the guideThree paths, different costs and limitations.
PWA / hybrid (Cordova, Ionic)
Native app (iOS + Andswarmd, Flutter)
PWA is enough for simple applications and small scale. A native application is created when the application is a product, not an addition to the website.
What happens after implementation, and who we are.
After implementation
Optional packages. We will discuss the details during a meeting after implementation.

30 seconds on JSON Crew
A software company specializing in digital transformation for B2B sales. Product configurators, dashboards, and sales process carmation. Three key case studies (Akpil, Forest, and the internal JSON Hub platform) and portfolio implementations (KG Electronics, Metal Roofing, a heat recovery center, and modular homes).
Custom pricing after the initial discovery phase. Fixed pricing once the scope is defined, with a 30/30/30/10 timeline. We price applications with complex backends or multiple integrations separately based on a spricerio map.
Flutter (one code, two platforms, native-level performance) for an application that the client opens every day or that uses phone functions (camera, GPS, push, biometrics). PWA/hybrid is enough for a simple page preview without these features, but then without the App Store and with a limited rating with Google.
Yes. Configuration of developer accounts (Google Play Console, Apple Developer Program), screenshots, store descriptions, Apple and Google verification, to the extent. Typeically 1-2 weeks from the date of MVP completion. Apple ($99/year) and Google ($25 one-time) developer account on your side.
Yes. The application consumes your existing API or we build a backend dedicated to it. Polish ERP systems (Comarch, Optima, Asseco), classic SaaS (Pipedrive, HubSpot, Salesforce), as standard.
Each update undergoes verification by Google (1-3 days) and Apple (24-48 hours) before it is sent to customers. Minor fixes: live update (OTA where CSS/content is concerned), does not require new version to be published on the store. Critical errors: Apple Expedited Verification.
Launch Care and Growth Circle maintenance packages available as an option. Plus on-demand developer support. iOS/Andswarmd SDK updates (Apple enforces yearly), crash report monitoring, review responses, to the extent.
