Costa InnovationsApps that put your company on the phone
We build iOS and Android apps and the whole platform they need to run: servers, database, integrations and an admin panel. We use mature technologies, publish in the stores and keep looking after the updates.
When an app makes sense
- The field team writes on paper and types everything again when they get back.
- Customers have to call or send a message to do what they could handle themselves.
- The company's system only works well on a computer.
How we do it
- 1
We define what the app solves
We start with the main task of the people who will use it, in the field or at the counter, and leave the rest for later.
- 2
We design and test with users
A clickable prototype goes into users' hands before development starts.
- 3
We build the app and the platform
Besides the app, we set up what runs behind it: servers, database, admin panel and the connection to the ERP, the online store or the custom system.
- 4
We publish and maintain
We handle publication on the App Store and Google Play and the updates the stores require.
What we deliver
- Apps for iOS and Android
- The complete platform behind the app: servers, database and admin panel
- Apps for customers and for internal teams
- Integration with the company's systems
- Publication and updates in the stores
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an app, or is a mobile-friendly website enough?
Often the website is enough, and it costs less. An app pays off when there is frequent use or a need to work offline, or to use the camera, location or notifications.
Does the app work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. We develop for both platforms and publish in both stores.
Who looks after the app once it is published?
The same team that built it. The stores and phone operating systems change every year, and the app has to keep up.
Can the app connect to the system I already use?
In most cases, yes. The app reads from and writes to the company's systems, so information stays in one place.
What is needed besides the app itself?
Almost every app depends on a platform behind it: servers, a database, user access and a panel for the company to manage content. We build all of that with mature, widely used technologies, so the app does not depend on improvised solutions.
What would your team or your customers do from their phones?
