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

FAQ
When does mobile apps actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Taupō - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Has this actually shipped for a real Taupō?
Yes. Most first releases are in the stores inside 8 weeks, not 8 months. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. Mobile apps can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to React Native, Expo, Swift, Kotlin, Supabase, Cloudflare Workers but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
