Mobile App Development

      Mobile apps are ubiquitous these days and run on a wide array of devices, from mobile phones, to tablets and automotive areas. While you can access things through the web on these devices, an app can offer a smoother and more tailored experience. In comparison to web-based solutions, apps grant access to a wide array of device sensors, a smoother user experience and higher user engagement. By leveraging apps, one can effectively address challenges and explore new avenues for growth and innovation.

      The App Advantage

      Higher engagement

      People spend in average 3-6 hours / day on their mobile devices, 10 % of that on the web and 90 % in apps. Integrating push notification and location-based triggers, to get the users awareness of things happening close by, pushes further app interactions. These characteristics offer a mobile opportunity with much higher engagement and interactivity than the standard web.

       

      Also, the conversion rates for shopping apps are much higher, up to 3 times higher compared to the mobile web.

      On device AI capabilities

      Modern smartphones have AI-enabled processors, allowing them to execute specific AI use cases directly on-device, without the need for a dedicated backend. More advanced AI scenarios can still be achieved by integrating server-based AI solutions.

       

      Examples for on device AI possibilities:

      • Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, text analysis
      • Image, drawing and facial recognition
      • Health data analysis and pattern recognition

       

      Access to a wide variety of sensors

      Modern smartphones come with a wide variety of sensors, e.g. camera, lidar, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, and more. This enables to create unique and innovative solutions to problems which can’t be solved in the same way by the web. Combining these possibilities with our UX, design and backend skills enables us to come up with ideal solutions.

      How to get started? Establish a Mobile strategy!

      Mobile devices are the dominant devices these days and offer many advantages, but the question remains, when do we need an app? To find the answers to these questions a mobile strategy must be put in place. This strategy should layout:

      • A company or business-wide plan for approaching mobile technology, including apps, responsive web, and devices.
      • The mix of technology that ensures the organisation’s business goals are achieved.
      • Which solutions that best support the organisation’s internal and external users.
      • In which areas investments should be made to achieve goals or accelerate growth.
      • In what area a mobile app would be needed or useful.
      • Where in your user’s journey mobile should be the focus.

      Prototyping and MVPs

      A prototype or MVP is essential to get started or test ideas in a smaller scope. With it, ideas can quickly be tested and iterated on, potential issues can be found, and the UX/design can be optimised. Addressing these issues before moving to a full-scale development phase will save time and resources.

       

      
At the same time, an MVP can help gain stakeholder’s buy-in by providing a tangible representation of the company’s mobile strategy. This can help ensure everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals.
