Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about mobile app development for agricultural and industrial parts distributors.

How long does it take to develop a parts distribution mobile app?

Development timelines vary based on complexity and features. A basic inventory lookup app might take 8-12 weeks, whilst a comprehensive warehouse management app with offline functionality could take 4-6 months. We provide detailed project plans during discovery phase.

Can you integrate with our existing ERP or inventory management system?

Yes, we specialise in ERP integration. We've worked with Sage, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics, and numerous proprietary systems. We'll assess your system's API capabilities and design the most efficient integration approach.

Will the app work offline in warehouses with poor connectivity?

Absolutely. We design apps with offline-first functionality. Critical features like stock lookup, barcode scanning, and data entry work without internet. Data synchronises automatically when connectivity returns, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

What devices and operating systems will the app support?

We develop native apps for both iOS (iPhones and iPads) and Android devices. Apps support the latest operating systems plus two previous versions, ensuring compatibility with devices most businesses already own.

How do you handle barcode scanning in the mobile app?

We support multiple scanning methods: built-in camera scanning using native iOS/Android capabilities, and integration with Bluetooth barcode scanners for high-volume scanning. The app works seamlessly with various barcode formats including EAN, UPC, Code 39, and QR codes.

Can we brand the app with our company logo and colours?

Yes, we create fully branded apps reflecting your company identity. The app can be published under your company name in app stores, with your logo, colour scheme, and branding throughout the user interface.

What happens if we need changes or new features after launch?

We provide ongoing support and maintenance including bug fixes, OS updates, and feature enhancements. We can work on a retainer basis for continuous development or project-based for specific enhancements. Our team remains available to evolve the app as your business grows.

How much does a parts distribution mobile app cost?

Costs depend on features, complexity, and integration requirements. Basic apps start from £15,000, whilst comprehensive solutions with ERP integration, offline functionality, and multiple user types typically range from £30,000-£60,000. We provide detailed quotes following discovery.

How do you ensure the app will be secure and protect our data?

Security is fundamental to our development process. We implement industry-standard encryption for data storage and transmission, secure authentication with multi-factor options, and follow OWASP mobile security best practices. Apps undergo security testing before launch.

Can customers use the app to place orders directly?

Yes, we can build customer-facing apps enabling online ordering with account-based pricing, stock availability, order history, and delivery tracking. These apps integrate with your ERP system to ensure accurate pricing and inventory data.
