Build offline-capable retail apps with ease.

A mobile app isn't really mobile if it doesn't work offline, and a majority of work in retail is done in the field, doing consumer polling or point of sale work -- frequently areas without reliable WiFi or cell service. 

Our customers have built inventory, market research, warehouse and other retail apps that work on the street, in the aisle of a large department store, or in a multi-level mall. 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!


Manufacturing 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.

""We found the cost of developing the first release of to be 40% of the cost it would have taken to develop a custom handheld device. Moreover, the time to market was twice as quick as the alternative."
