Service 04

Give field teams and customers the tools they need on mobile.

Plan and build mobile workflows with the device features, connectivity behaviour and release support your users need.

Who this is for

Teams whose work needs device features, offline capture or frequent access away from a desk.

Problems this service can help solve

Field teams must complete work where connectivity is unreliable

A customer service benefits from repeat access, notifications, or device capabilities

A validated web workflow needs a deliberate mobile distribution strategy

Common starting situations

A service needs a mobile companion
Field teams need reliable workflows
A validated web product is moving to mobile

What the engagement can include

iOS and Android experience
API integration
Offline and notification strategy
Device testing
Store-readiness support

Scope limits

Store approval guarantees
A native app when a responsive web experience solves the need better

Investment & timeline

Plan the budget and schedule.

These are Digigen planning guides. Discovery helps define the milestones, assumptions, exclusions and work needed from your team.

Investment planning

Digigen's planning band for a mobile product is R150,000 to R500,000+ when backend services, authentication, offline work and app store releases are included. Platform and device requirements determine the final scope.

Timeline planning

A focused cross-platform release is commonly planned over twelve to twenty-eight weeks. Native platform differences, hardware access, offline sync, and store review add time beyond interface development.

A mobile app is recommended only where device access, repeat use, offline work, or store distribution creates value that a responsive web product cannot deliver more efficiently.

How we collaborate

We agree supported devices, test the operating workflow and identify who owns each release task.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before starting a project.

Should we build native, cross-platform, or a PWA?

The choice depends on device capabilities, offline requirements, performance, distribution, team skills, and lifetime maintenance. Discovery should make that trade-off explicit.

Are App Store and Google Play approvals guaranteed?

No. Digigen can prepare the application and submission materials against current platform requirements, but Apple and Google control review and approval.

Does mobile development include a backend?

It can. Most operational mobile products require APIs, authentication, data storage, administration, notifications, analytics, and an explicit sync strategy.
