Most of our Nelson engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. Mobile apps is then designed against the detail, not the shape.
Built and supported here - the way a Nelson business would actually use it.
What mobile apps actually does
A real app on the App Store and Google Play, built around the one job your customers or crew need it for. Bookings, job cards, photo capture, quotes, loyalty, whatever the business actually runs on, with the AI wired in behind it.
- 01 One codebase for iOS and Android, so you are not paying twice
- 02 We handle App Store and Google Play submission and review
- 03 Works offline in the ute, syncs when the signal comes back
- 04 Push notifications your team will actually read, not noise
Built on: React Native Expo Swift Kotlin Supabase Cloudflare Workers

How we build mobile apps for a Nelson team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Nelson business, so value lands before the build is finished. IOS and Android apps.

FAQ
How long does mobile apps take to ship for Nelson businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Nelson businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
How do you price mobile apps engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Nelson businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Anyone else in this space using mobile apps?
Plenty. Most first releases are in the stores inside 8 weeks, not 8 months. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy mobile apps into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. React Native sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
