The smartphone is our ubiquitous multifunctional tool. Specific apps for iOS and Android make our everyday and professional lives easier. Would you like to transfer your business case into the mobile world? We develop the optimal app for your individual application.
Technologies
Apps can be implemented in different ways. We support you in choosing the right technology for your project.
Native App
The best performance
With a native application, you make no compromises. The application runs smoothly and is optimised for the device. Operation is intuitive and adheres to platform-specific concepts (gesture control, look & feel). Integrations into operating system functions are available. Sensors such as camera, Bluetooth and other hardware are optimally integrated and controllable. All possibilities are open and create room for new innovations. This implementation variant is in fact the industry standard for smartphone apps.
Platforms
iOS, Android, Apple Watch, Android Watch
Programming languages and frameworks
Swift, Kotlin, Java, Cocoa Touch, Objective-C
Web App
No installation required
The web application runs in the browser and can be called up easily – without any installation hurdles. Online platforms, customer portals, processing of sales or rentals, digital information exchange and efficient process handling between B2B or B2C are excellently suited for implementation as a web application. This variant scores with the fact that it can be used both on the desktop PC and on the smartphone. Thanks to responsive design, it adapts to the respective device. Internet standards such as HTML5, PWA and WebRTC also enable advanced functions such as video communication directly in the browser.
Platforms
Cross-browser websites. iOS, Android, Windows Phone & PC, macOS, Linux
Programming languages and frameworks
JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, HTML5, CSS, NodeJS, Java
Hybrid App
Reach your goal fast
You want a lean solution, but also need certain hardware-related functions that are not practicable with web technologies, such as the GPS location or the scanning of QR codes? In this case, an implementation as a hybrid app is an option. For this, web technologies are combined with native technologies. The app can be published and installed via the respective app store. Installation as a desktop app for Windows or macOS is also possible thanks to frameworks such as Electron. Basically, there is a large selection of hybrid technologies, each with a different focus. We are happy to advise you.
Platforms
iOS, Android, web (browser), Windows, macOS
Programming languages and frameworks
JavaScript, TypeScript, Cordova, React Native, Xamarin, HTML5, Electron
Cost differences between implementation variants
The question of costs is one of the most important decision-making criteria at the start of almost every project. Depending on the chosen implementation variant, the costs can develop differently. Pure web solutions tend to be cheaper than installable apps – but their range of functions is also more limited. With the hybrid approach, an installable app can be created relatively quickly. But when it comes to usability, reliability and maintainability, the native app performs better. Together, we conduct an open and comprehensive requirements analysis and thus enable informed decision-making for the optimal implementation of your needs.
Functional components
Payment interface
Implement flexible pricing models such as subscriptions or in-app purchase. Use the App Store as a sales channel or integrate payment by credit card.
Scanner
Simply scan documents, codes or links and facilitate further digital processing.
Push notifications
Instant notifications provide critical added value and increase the operating life of your app.
Bluetooth & smart devices
Pair smart devices with your app via Bluetooth to enable advanced functions or data exchange. This can be a digital door lock, a smart refrigerator or any industry 4.0 device.
White labeling
Use external multipliers to enable exponential growth of your business model. Your product is offered as a white label or OEM solution by different distributors, each through their own sales channel.
Video chat
Video real-time communication between customers and staff directly in your app or website – thanks to WebRTC.
Offline functionality
All important information always in your pocket – even if no mobile internet is currently available.
Geo location
Use your own location as an orientation or navigation aid (GPS).
Augmented reality
Make digital elements tangible and benefit from augmented reality.
Mobile app credentials
