We want to work where the work is

Q: What does it cost to build an app?

That depends entirely on what it has to do. So we start with a digital pre-project at a fixed price, where you get a concrete estimate and a basis for the decision before you invest in the build itself.

Q: What if an app is not the right answer?

Then we say so. Sometimes a web solution, or an extension of the system you already run, does the same job for less. We point to what gives you the most for the money.

Q: What does it cost, and how do we get started?

You start with a half-hour conversation where we narrow the problem down. If it needs to be worked through properly, we run a digital pre-project: two to three weeks at a fixed price, excluding VAT. You know the price before anything is set in motion, and it is offset against the first stage if you build on with us within 90 days.

Q: How long before we feel an effect?

The pre-project itself takes two to three weeks and gives you a basis for the decision right away. If we build something, it happens in stages, so you often see the first effect within weeks rather than months. We take what weighs most first, so the gain arrives early.

Q: What if it does not work, can we stop along the way?

You can stop after each step. Because we build in stages, you are never left with half a huge project, but with something usable that works on its own. If a pilot shows the gain is not there, we say so, and then you have not spent a large budget finding out.

Q: Do we own the code and our data afterwards?

You own the solution we build for you, and the data it runs on. If we use our own reusable modules to keep the price down, you get the right to use them, and we say clearly what is what. We document the work so your own team or another supplier can carry it on.

Q: You are a smaller agency. Do you fit a company our size?

We work both with large organisations such as Bygma and Nykredit and with smaller companies where one solution moves a lot. We document what we build, so it can be handed over and run on without us. If we get busy, we say so rather than promising a timeline we cannot keep.

An app can be the right answer. Sometimes it is more than you need. We work that out with you before you invest.

When does it make sense?

Your users are in the field, in the shop or on the road, not at a desk.
The job has to reach a handheld scanner or a label printer, or keep running in the background.
You want to give customers or colleagues something they have at hand every day.

What it is about

The phone is the only desk they have

An app is a tool the user carries in her pocket: it opens with one tap, knows her in advance and closes the job right where it is done. It is not a website wrapped up again. The choice depends on how quickly she has to get in, and how little that may depend on the connection.

Why it gets used
The app sits on the phone home screen and opens with one tap, with no login and no hunting for the right link. It knows who the user is, so she sees her own jobs straight away instead of having to find them.
What it changes in the field
The registration happens out at the job, not on a note that has to be typed in once the van is home. The office sees the work the same day it was done, even when the coverage dropped out along the way.
When a web solution is enough
A web solution can use the camera and the map today, and work without coverage, so that alone does not decide it. The app wins when it has to open without a login, know the user in advance, and answer just as quickly on a poor connection as on a good one.

An app that gets opened now and then never becomes a habit. It has to do what cannot wait until you are back at the office, and pull the rest from what you already have.

The expensive part comes later

Building an app is rarely the expensive part. Keeping it alive year after year is.

A safe way in

How we start, without you committing to anything big

Step 1
Clarification meeting

A short conversation about the idea, and what we make of it at first glance. Free, and it commits you to nothing.

Step 2
Digital pre-project

We work out whether the task needs an app at all, or whether something simpler will do. You get a concrete proposal with the numbers behind it, and if the idea does not hold, we say so. A fixed price, offset against the first stage if you build on within 90 days.

Step 3
Development in stages

We build in stages at a fixed price and take what pays for itself fastest first. After that, operation and support from people who know the solution.

What it usually consists of

We settle the exact scope together

What yours has to do is something we work out in the pre-project. An idea like this one usually contains some of the following.

Works without coverage

Registrations are stored on the phone and sync the moment the connection is back.
iOS and Android

Built from one codebase where that makes sense, so you are not paying for two apps.
Only what gets used

The features your users genuinely reach for, not everything at once.

A concrete example

This is what it looks like once it is built

Digital driver app streamlines Bygma's delivery processes

We built a driver app with offline registration straight into M3 ERP, so the data did not have to be keyed in again afterwards.

Other ideas

Take inspiration from the others

These ideas come up most often in the same conversations. Sometimes it turns out that one of them is what solves the problem.

We help with many kinds of ideas, from a single workflow to a whole digital product.
