Field & driver apps
Built for one hand, bad signal and a cracked screen in a truck cab. Photo capture, offline tolerance, and the shortest path from job to proof of completion.
Mobile apps
One codebase. Both stores. Actually shipped.
iOS and Android from a single React Native codebase — driver apps, field apps, customer apps. Including the store submission process everyone else quietly avoids.
What this covers
Customer apps
Accounts, orders, status, notifications — connected to the same backend as your web platform so there's one source of truth.
App store delivery
Developer accounts, signing, review responses and releases. We can publish under our accounts if you don't have your own yet.
Backend to match
The API the app talks to, with its own authentication boundary so a lost phone never becomes an office-system problem.
What you get
Every engagement includes this, in writing.
- One React Native codebase — not two native builds at twice the price
- A separate auth boundary between the mobile app and your internal platform
- TestFlight and internal Android builds so your team tries it before the public does
- Store listing copy, screenshots and the review submission handled
- Over-the-air updates for the changes that don't need a new review
- Typical range
- Typically 6–12 weeks · $18k–$50k
- Stack
- How it's priced
- Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before anyone starts
- Who does the work
- The developer on your kickoff call is the one writing the code

Proof
We've done this, in production.
Smart Haul Driver App
Drivers see their loads, upload proof of delivery from the cab and check their pay without calling dispatch. Same backend as the TMS, its own bearer-token auth.
See the buildTelegram driver bot (SVV)
Where a full app was overkill, we put the driver workflow inside a messaging app they already had open — a smaller, faster answer to the same problem.
See the buildQuestions
Do we need a separate app for iOS and Android?
No. One React Native codebase covers both, which is roughly half the build cost and, more importantly, half the maintenance forever. We only reach for native code when a specific hardware feature demands it.
What about the Apple Developer account?
You'll want your own eventually — it's $99/year and it means the listing is yours. If you don't have one on day one, we can publish under ours and transfer the app to you later.
How long does app review take?
Usually one to three days for a first submission, faster for updates. We build the review timeline into the schedule and handle any rejections, which are almost always about a missing privacy detail rather than the app itself.
