We design and develop custom mobile apps that integrate with business solutions. They are designed to meet the unique requirements of each business and improve the effectiveness of workers on the go.
Mobile App Development
Want to enable workers on the go?
The modern workforce needs to work from the office and on the go. Our solutions enable your workforce to work from anywhere and still access important business data & reporting tools.
Whether working with live data in real time or offline with data that can be synced later, your workforce has the relevant information at their fingertips.
A number of our customers now have custom business solutions running on iPads and iPhones that integrate with their desktop FileMaker solutions. Industry standard authentication and granular controls mean precisely defined role-based security to control data access.
Examples
Some example scenarios where our mobile business solutions would be useful:
- Conduct inventory checks while in the warehouse
- Generate sales orders at a customer site (including capturing digital signatures)
- Track shipping and receiving activities
- Check in attendees onsite for an event
- Update project status while travelling
- Add research notes while in the field
- Take photos and link them to records in the database
Online or offline
Whether your workforce needs to interact with live data in real time or has to work offline with data that can be synced later, our iPad solutions can adapt to your scenario.
If you have a wifi/3G/4G/5G connection to the office then you can work with live data in real time. Any updates you make can immediately be seen by colleagues.
If the environment means that a wifi/3G/4G network is unavailable then a different approach is needed. Data can be synced to the iPad before you go offline and any new or edited data synced back to the office when a network connection is available.
FileMaker Go is an app for iPad and iPhone. It is the iOS element of the FileMaker platform. The rapid development nature of the FileMaker platform means that you can have a custom app built at a fraction of the cost.
Showcase Solution - Guest List Manager
Guest List Manager was developed as part of a custom development project integrated with a desktop FileMaker solution and was published on the FileMaker site as a showcase of our FileMaker Go development skills.
Guest List Manager helps check in guests as they arrive at an event. Live stats show how many people have checked in and how many on the guest list have not arrived yet. Guests can be marked as VIPs and an email can be sent to notify the host that a VIP has arrived. Emails can also be sent to the guests before or after the event, eg. to remind them of the event or to thank them for coming. Name badges can be printed and post event reports show you information about the attendance at the event.
Guests can be sent emails with bar codes or QR codes which can then be scanned as the guest arrives. Multiple iOS devices can be used to check guests in at the same time. If you need a guest list manager integrated into your desktop systems, please get in touch.
Integrate with a desktop solution
Most of the mobile solutions we develop form part of a wider desktop solution. Both systems integrate seamlessly. We have 20 years experience of building custom solutions to help run a small/medium business or help run a department in a large organisation. We use rapid development tools to get them in fast, on budget and on time.
