THE UMBRELLA
Staff & Client Mobile Apps
Proper iOS and Android apps on the same data as the desktop — not a website squeezed onto a phone.
What we build
Proper iOS and Android apps on the same data and permissions as the desktop — offline-first, push-notified, biometric-locked. Not a website squeezed onto a phone: the tool your people actually reach for.
What is included
- iOS and Android from one codebase
- Offline mode with background sync
- Push notifications that respect preferences
- Biometric login
- App store submission handled for you
- Same permissions as the web
Typical delivery: 4–7 weeks. Scope and delivery window are established in an assessment visit — we do not publish prices, because a real answer depends on what we find inside your business.
Who wins, and how
Your team
- The system in their pocket, working even with no signal
- Push notifications for the things that matter, silence for the rest
- Face ID in, do the thing, done — designed for thumbs, not mice
Your leadership
- Approvals and dashboards from anywhere — decisions stop waiting for desks
- One codebase for both stores, maintained as part of the platform
- Adoption you can see: people use tools that respect their time
Your organisation
- Field and office finally live in the same system, live
- Customers served during site visits, not "when I’m back at my desk"
- App-store presence that makes the company look its size or bigger
How delivery actually runs
Week 1 — We come and look
A Business Systems Analyst spends a day inside your business, sitting with the people who actually do the work.
Weeks 2–4 — We build in the open
You see working software every week, not a status report. What is wrong gets said early, while changing it is still cheap.
Week 5 — Your data moves across
Spreadsheets, the old system, the shared drive — migrated, reconciled and checked against what you had.
Week 6 — Go live, then stay live
Training for the people who will use it, then support that answers. We do not hand over a login and disappear.
What it connects to
Staff & Client Mobile Apps is not an island. It shares records with:
- Field Service & Mobile — The system your engineers actually use — on a phone, in a loft, with no signal, and it still works.
- Client Portal — Your customers answer their own questions — jobs, invoices, documents and approvals, without phoning anyone.
- Single Sign-On & Access — One login for everything, and one place to switch it off the day somebody leaves.
