Mobile app development

Stop waiting for the paperwork to come back from site

Our mobile app development is for UK businesses whose people work away from the office. Jobs, photos, checks and signatures are captured on the spot, not typed up days later.

The problem

You'll recognise at least one of these

These problems rarely arrive as one big failure. They cost a few hours here and a wrong number there, every week, until they feel normal.

  • Engineers fill in paper forms that someone in the office types up later.
  • Photos of finished work sit on personal phones and never reach the job file.
  • You find out a job had a problem when the customer rings to complain.
  • Timesheets arrive on Monday for work done the week before.
How we fix it

An app your team will use, even with no signal

We build apps for iPhone and Android that do one job well. They work offline on site and sync when the phone finds a signal, so nothing waits for a trip back to the office.

Designed for gloves, sunlight and hurry

Big buttons, few steps and nothing to type that a photo or a tick could record instead. If it slows the team down, they won't use it.

Connected to the office

Everything captured on site lands in your back-office system straight away, with the time, the place and the person who recorded it.

One app for both phones

We build once for iPhone and Android, so you pay for one app, not two, and every update reaches everyone.

In practice

What our mobile apps typically record

Not sure your problem fits? Ask. We'll tell you on the first call, before any price is agreed, and we'll say so if we're not the right people.

  • Job sheets, checklists and inspections
  • Photos pinned to a location on a drawing
  • Customer signatures on completion
  • Time on site and travel
  • Defects, snags and follow-up work
How it works

Four steps, and you approve each one

You always know what is being built, what it costs and what happens next.

1

A free call about the problem

Thirty minutes, no sales deck. We ask what's broken, what it costs you and what good would look like. If software isn't the answer, we'll tell you.

2

A fixed scope and a fixed price

You get a written plan in plain English: what we'll build, in what order, and what it costs. No open-ended day rates.

3

Working software early

We build in stages, so you see and use real screens within weeks, not a big reveal at the end.

4

We stay after launch

Support, hosting and the next phase of the roadmap. The team that built it is the team you call.

Straight answers

Mobile app development: common questions

Do you build apps for both iPhone and Android?

Yes. Cube Purple builds one app that runs on both iPhone and Android, which keeps the cost down and means every update reaches the whole team at once.

Will the app work without a mobile signal?

Yes, if you need it to. Cube Purple builds apps that store work on the phone while offline and send it to the office as soon as a signal returns.

How much does a mobile app cost?

Cube Purple agrees a fixed price in writing before work starts. The cost depends on what the app records and which systems it connects to, which is covered on the free first call.

Have you built mobile apps before?

Yes. Cube Purple builds and runs its own mobile products, including FireArrest, which installers use on site to record fire-stopping work with photographs and locations.
