Native App Development for iOS and Android.
Two things usually decide whether a business app works. Whether it performs like an app people expect on their phone, and whether it can reach the live data it needs without breaking the system holding it.
We build native for iOS and Android, connect to the systems your business already runs on, and take the finished app through store submission.
Mobile App Design & Development
Turn your app concept into a market-ready product. We handle everything from the initial user flow to writing production-ready code for global app stores.
Why native
For a business app used every day in the field, the difference shows up in the places that matter.
Camera and scanning behave the way the phone's own apps behave, which matters when someone is photographing a weight slip or scanning a container in poor light. Background sync and local storage are more reliable, so an app can keep working through a dead zone in a port or a yard and catch up afterwards. Push notifications arrive properly rather than occasionally. Startup is fast, which sounds minor until someone opens the app forty times a shift.
None of that matters for every project. Where it does not, we will say so rather than sell a heavier build than the job needs.
App Store and Google Play submission
Building the app is the part most vendors quote for. Getting it published is the part that surprises people. We handle it, or walk your team through it if you would rather hold the accounts yourselves.
Developer accounts.
Apple Developer Program and Google Play Console setup, including the organisation verification Apple requires, which needs a D-U-N-S number and takes longer than most timelines assume.
Store listing assets.
Descriptions, keywords, category, screenshots at every required device size, app icon and preview video where it helps.
Privacy declarations.
Apple's privacy labels and Google's Data Safety form, both of which need an honest account of what the app collects and where it goes. Getting these wrong is a common rejection reason and an avoidable one.
Signing and builds.
Certificates, provisioning profiles, keystores and release builds, set up so your team is not locked out of its own app later.
Review and resubmission.
Apps get rejected, often for something procedural. We respond to the review team, fix what is flagged and resubmit.
Updates after launch.
OS releases, store policy changes and the changes people ask for once they have used it for a month.
Native app or Odoo module
Worth settling early, because it decides the architecture.
If the work belongs inside Odoo and will be done by people already logged into it at a desk, an Odoo module is usually the better answer. It inherits the permissions, the data model and the upgrade path, and there is no store submission involved. That is covered under Odoo Module Development.
If the users are not Odoo users, or the job happens on a phone in a working environment where the camera, offline capture and notifications are the point, a native app connected by API is the right build. Drivers, customers and executives usually fall here.
We will tell you which one your requirement is before quoting for either.
How We Move from Concept to Code
1
Specification first
We write what is being built and agree it before development starts. Scope disputes in month three are almost always specification failures in week one.
2
Design before code
Prototypes get reacted to, documents get skimmed. Where a project needs it, our UI/UX Consulting team runs this stage.
3
Built in-house
Our own developers. The person who scoped it is still reachable when a question comes up in month four.
4
Tested on real devices
Your data and your edge cases, on the handsets your people actually carry, not only a simulator.
5
Supported after launch
Monitoring, OS updates, store compliance and the next round of changes.
Connecting to what you already run
An app that cannot reach your live data becomes a second system to maintain and a second version of the truth.
We build API integration with proper error handling and retry logic, because the other system will be unavailable at some point. Sync failures surface as alerts to someone who can act on them, not as silence. Offline capture continues locally and syncs on reconnection, which is not an optional extra for anyone working in a port, a yard or a warehouse basement. Access control maps to the roles that already exist in your ERP, so permissions are not maintained twice.
Where the system of record is Odoo, this connects to the work covered under Odoo Integration.
The Strata Collaborative Blueprint
We don’t believe in "black box" development. Our process is fully transparent, keeping your team aligned and in control from kickoff to deployment.
Weekly Syncs, Zero Surprises We schedule structured weekly check-in meetings with your stakeholders to present iterations, gather feedback, and ensure the project lifecycle matches your evolving business requirements.
