Most of our Wānaka 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.
For Wānaka operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
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

Why Wānaka businesses are a fit for this.
- Wānaka has the boom-and-shoulder rhythm of a lifestyle town - AI here helps small teams handle big seasonal swings without burning out.
- Tourism, hospitality, lifestyle property, and trades feeding constant builds. AI shines when it lets a small operator look like a big one.
We work with teams across Wānaka: Wānaka township · Albert Town · Hāwea · Cardrona · Lake Hāwea.

How we build mobile apps for a Wānaka team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Wānaka 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 Wānaka - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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 Wānaka businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Do you have proof this works for Wānaka businesses?
Direct case study: Most first releases are in the stores inside 8 weeks, not 8 months. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a 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.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
