Build · Software and apps
Mobile apps that work on the phones your customers really use
We design and build Android and iOS apps for customers, field teams and members. They are built for patchy networks, mid-range devices and the way people in Nigeria pay and communicate.
The problem we solve
An app has to earn its place on the phone
Storage is precious and data costs money, so people delete apps that are slow, heavy or confusing. A good app does one job very well and makes coming back easy.
We start with that job, test it with real users early, and add features only when they make the app more useful.
What you get
Everything a serious app needs
Android and iOS from one codebase
Cross-platform apps built with React Native or Flutter keep cost and maintenance down, with native code where a feature needs it.
Offline-ready
Key screens and forms work without a connection and sync when the network returns, which matters for field staff and users outside the big cities.
Light and fast
Small downloads, careful use of data and battery, and screens that respond quickly on mid-range devices.
Payments people trust
Card, bank transfer and USSD payment options through established Nigerian payment gateways.
Notifications and messaging
Push notifications, SMS fallbacks and in-app messages for reminders, updates and alerts.
Store release and updates
We prepare store listings, handle Google Play and App Store review, and ship updates without disrupting users.
Field and staff apps
Not every app is for the public
Some of the most valuable apps are internal: inspections, deliveries, sales visits, attendance and stock checks. They replace paper forms and phone calls with clean data that reaches the office the same day.
- Forms with photos, signatures and location
- Work assigned to staff, with status updates as it happens
- Private distribution to staff phones, without a public store listing
- Device management, so a lost phone can be locked or wiped
How it works
How we take an app from idea to store
Discovery
We agree who the app is for, the one job it must do well, and how success will be measured.
Prototype
A clickable prototype on your phone, tested with real users before development starts.
Build and test
Two-week cycles with test builds you can install, checked on a range of Android and iOS devices.
Release
Store listings, privacy details and review handled, with a staged rollout to catch problems early.
Grow
Crash reports, usage insight and regular updates based on what users actually do.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Should we build a mobile app or a web application?
If people use it often, need notifications or work offline, an app is worth it. If they visit occasionally, a well-built web application reaches more people for less. We will give you an honest recommendation, and sometimes the answer is both, sharing one back end.
Android or iPhone first?
Most smartphones in Nigeria run Android, so many projects start there or build both together from one codebase. Your own users matter more than national figures, so we check who they are first.
Can the app work without internet?
Yes, for the screens that need it. We store data securely on the device, queue changes and sync them when the connection returns, with clear handling of conflicts.
Do you publish the app in the stores for us?
Yes. We prepare the listings, screenshots and privacy information, and manage review. The developer accounts should be in your organisation’s name, so you always control the app.
What happens after launch?
Apps need regular updates for new phone operating systems, store rules and security fixes. A support plan covers this, plus a monthly allowance for improvements if you want one.
