Mobile app development
We design and build hybrid mobile apps for businesses in Bologna and beyond: a single codebase for iOS and Android with Flutter and Ionic, integrated with your management systems, APIs and internal tools.
A mobile app that actually works for your business
An app isn't just an icon on a smartphone: it's a tool that has to simplify a process, reach your customers, or give your team something concrete in their hands, wherever they are.
The problem is that too many apps look great in the demo and turn out fragile in production: slow, disconnected from business systems, hard to update, abandoned after the first release.
We start from a real advantage: years of experience in back-end development and enterprise systems integration. A mobile app lives on what sits behind it โ APIs, data, synchronization, security โ and that's exactly where we make the difference. We're a software house in Bologna, and we build apps designed to last and grow with your business.
Our approach is cross-platform (hybrid): we build with Flutter and Ionic on a single codebase for iOS and Android. For business apps it's the most efficient choice โ one team, reduced time and cost, a single product to maintain and evolve over time โ without giving up quality and user experience. We don't do purely native development (separate Swift/Kotlin): we focus our expertise where it brings the most value to businesses.
What we can do for you
-
Build your app from scratch. Have an idea or a process to digitalize? We analyze the requirements, design the user experience and develop the app โ mobile front-end, back-end and integrations โ with frequent releases and continuous feedback.
-
Hybrid iOS and Android apps from a single codebase. We build cross-platform apps with Flutter and Ionic that run on both platforms, all the way to publishing on the App Store and Google Play.
-
Polished design with trusted partners. We don't have in-house designers, but when a project calls for in-depth UX/UI work we collaborate with trusted professionals โ so cross-platform doesn't mean compromising on interface and user experience.
-
Integrate the app with your systems. We connect the app to management systems, ERPs, CRMs, APIs and business databases, building the service and data-sync layer with the same attention to security we bring to everything else.
-
B2B and internal-process apps. We develop applications for the sales force, order management, warehouse, field data collection and operational dashboards โ including private distribution, without going through the public stores.
-
Evolve and maintain an existing app. Already have an app that needs new features, updates for the latest iOS and Android versions, or a rescue? We step into your context and grow it in a stable way.
When it makes sense to involve us
- You want a business app that truly integrates with your management systems and internal tools
- You have an operational process to bring to mobile for your team or sales network
- You need a partner in Bologna to follow the app from analysis through publishing and beyond
- You want a cross-platform app for iOS and Android with time and cost under control
- You already have an app but it's stalled, slow or hard to update
- You're looking for quality and continuity over time, not just a throwaway release
How we work: from idea to publishing
- Analysis and goals โ We understand what the app must do, for whom, and how it fits into your existing processes and systems.
- UX and interface โ We define the user flows aiming to make the app genuinely simple and useful; when polished design is needed we rely on trusted UX/UI professionals we collaborate with.
- Architecture and integrations โ We design the back-end, APIs and integrations with your business systems.
- Iterative development โ We build the app with frequent releases, so you see progress and we adjust along the way.
- Testing and quality โ We verify functionality, performance and stability on real iOS and Android devices.
- Publishing โ We manage the go-live on the App Store and Google Play, or private in-house distribution.
- Maintenance and evolution โ Updates, new features and monitoring over time, so the app stays active and aligned with the business.
Did you know?
Apple and Google release a new major version of iOS and Android every year, and store requirements change constantly. An app is never truly "finished" at launch: without regular updates it risks breaking or being removed from the stores. Choosing a single hybrid codebase means maintaining and updating one product instead of two, significantly cutting time and cost over the long run. That's why we design apps to be updatable and able to evolve from day one.

Frequently asked questions
Do you build native or hybrid apps?+
We build hybrid (cross-platform) apps with Flutter and Ionic: a single codebase that runs on both iOS and Android. For business apps it's the most efficient choice in terms of time, cost and maintenance, without giving up quality and user experience. We don't do purely native development with separate Swift/Kotlin codebases: we prefer to focus our expertise where it brings the most value to businesses.
Can the app integrate with our management system or business tools?+
Yes, it's one of our strengths. We connect the app to management systems, ERPs, CRMs, databases and internal or third-party APIs. Our experience in systems integration and enterprise back-end development lets us build the API and data-sync layer securely and reliably โ not just the visible part of the app.
Do you also build B2B and internal-process apps, not just public apps?+
Yes. Many of our mobile projects are business apps for internal or B2B use: order management, warehouse, sales force, field data collection, operational dashboards. Not every app needs to live on the public stores โ we can distribute them privately within the company.
Do you handle publishing on the App Store and Play Store?+
Yes. We manage the entire publishing process on the App Store (Apple) and Google Play, including account and listing setup and subsequent updates. We also support you with release and version management over time.
What happens after the app is released?+
Release is the beginning, not the end. We offer ongoing maintenance and evolution: bug fixing, updates for new iOS and Android versions, new features and monitoring. We usually define a tailored maintenance contract based on the client's needs.
Do you work with companies outside Bologna?+
We're a software house based in Bologna and we're glad to work with local companies, but we also collaborate with clients across Italy. Much of the work is done effectively remotely, with in-person meetings when needed.
