Frequently Asked Questions

What manufacturing systems can your mobile apps integrate with?

We integrate with all major MES and ERP platforms including SAP, Oracle Manufacturing, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, and specialist systems like Epicor, IQMS, and Plex. We also support integration with PLCs, SCADA systems, and IoT devices. Our API-first approach means we can connect to virtually any manufacturing system.

Do your apps work offline in factories with poor connectivity?

Yes, we design all manufacturing apps with offline-first architecture. Critical functionality like data entry, barcode scanning, and form completion work without internet connectivity. Data automatically synchronises when connection is restored. This ensures production continues uninterrupted regardless of network conditions.

What devices and operating systems do you support?

We build native apps for both iOS and Android, supporting smartphones and ruggedised industrial tablets. We test on devices from Zebra, Honeywell, Datalogic, and Samsung. Our apps work with enterprise MDM solutions and support peripheral devices like barcode scanners, RFID readers, and industrial printers.

How do you ensure data security for manufacturing apps?

We implement enterprise-grade security including encrypted data storage, secure API communication, role-based access control, and biometric authentication. All apps comply with ISO 27001 standards and undergo regular security audits. We support MDM integration for device management and can implement on-premise hosting for sensitive data.

Can you customise apps for our specific manufacturing processes?

Absolutely. We specialise in bespoke manufacturing applications tailored to your exact workflows, terminology, and business rules. Whether you need custom forms, specific calculations, unique reporting, or integration with legacy systems, we develop solutions that fit your operations perfectly.

What's the typical development timeline for a manufacturing app?

Timeline varies based on complexity, but a typical manufacturing app takes 12-20 weeks from discovery to launch. This includes requirements gathering, UX/UI design, development, testing, and deployment. We use agile methodology with regular progress reviews, allowing you to see and feedback on the app as it's built.

Do you provide training and ongoing support after launch?

Yes, we provide comprehensive training for administrators and end users, including documentation and video tutorials. Post-launch, we offer ongoing support packages covering technical assistance, bug fixes, feature enhancements, and system updates. We're committed to your long-term success and continuous improvement.

How much does manufacturing mobile app development cost?

Costs vary based on functionality, integrations, and complexity. A simple production monitoring app might start from £15,000, whilst comprehensive MES-integrated solutions with multiple modules can range from £40,000-£100,000+. We provide detailed fixed-price quotations after understanding your requirements during the discovery phase.
