We're here to help you quickly build apps that access and capture the critical data you need, when and where you need it, on the device of your choosing.

Ask the Right Questions!

Construction companies are looking to mobile app development to gain efficiences, save on costs, and remain competitive. As your organization evaluates vendors, there are key questions to ask that can save you from big costs down the line.

When you hear: "We do offline."

Understand that all "offline" capabilities are not equal. Be sure to ask:

Can your solution do data synchronization and intelligent conflict resolution (aside from "last-in wins"?

If the answer is "No," then it means your apps will likely have severe limitations that could hurt your ability to intelligently capture store and sync data.

When you hear: "We can connect to data."

Data integration is one of the most difficult and important aspects of app development. Be sure to ask:

Does your software easily connect to common data sources such as REST services, JSON Data, XML, SOAP and oData without extensive coding?

If the answer is "No," you'll likely burn a lot of time and money on data integration and security issues.

When you hear: "We're cross-platform."

Understand that responsive isn't necessarily cross-platform. Be sure to ask:

Do your apps offer a native-like experience on smartphones, tablets and desktops?

If the answer is "No," then users experience will most likely not have a native-like experience on the apps.

"Alpha Anywhere has been an ideal enterprise development platform for us, and has become our system of record for all development work, including mobile apps.."

Bachir Yazbek, Head of Project Control, Zerock Construction

"Without Alpha Anywhere, I would have had to outsource development to an outside software company because we needed a sophisticated system with a strong back-end, and we couldn't have built that ourselves. But with Alpha were able to do it. We've saved at least 50% in costs and time.."
