Take the system off the desk
Stock counters, delivery drivers, technicians on site — none of them sit at a computer. A mobile app is how data reaches the system as the work happens, instead of being retyped at the end of the day.
Who this is for
- Companies with teams working away from the office
- Businesses that want to reach end customers directly
- Organisations with a core system that needs a mobile layer
Scope of work
- One codebase running on both iOS and Android
- Works offline, syncs when connectivity returns
- Barcode scanning, photo capture, location
- Push notifications
- Submission to the App Store and Google Play
Technology & capabilities
- React Native
- TypeScript
- Go
- MySQL
Process

What this service is
Mobile app development covers building iOS and Android apps for field staff or end customers, connecting to an existing backend or a new one built alongside it. These apps typically replace paper or spreadsheet processes in the field — stock counting, mobile time tracking, delivery — or serve as an additional sales channel where customers place orders and track status. Cluvix defaults to a cross-platform approach so one codebase runs on both operating systems, cutting long-term maintenance cost compared to writing two separate native apps. The apps work offline and sync automatically once a connection returns, which matters for staff working in warehouses or low-signal areas. This fits businesses with mobile teams — delivery, multi-site stock counting — or those wanting to retain customers through their own channel instead of relying entirely on a third-party platform.
How it compares to other options
Compared to a mobile web app running in the browser, a native app gets smoother access to the camera, GPS, and push notifications, and holds up better when the connection drops — important for stock-taking or delivery work in low-signal areas. A web app, on the other hand, skips App Store and Google Play review so updates ship faster, which fits fine if the work doesn't need those hardware permissions. Compared to hiring separate freelancers for each platform, Cluvix's cross-platform approach keeps one shared business logic layer, so changing a pricing rule or approval flow means editing one place instead of two. Worth noting: the very latest platform-specific hardware features sometimes land on cross-platform frameworks a few weeks behind a fully native build.
What drives cost & timeline
Number of features that must work offline
Building local storage and re-sync logic for dropped connections is far more work than an app that always assumes a stable connection.
Special hardware access requirements
Barcode scanning, mobile thermal printers, or card readers need dedicated hardware library integration and testing across multiple device models.
App Store and Google Play review process
Apps touching payments or personal data usually get stricter Apple review, sometimes adding one to two weeks of revisions before approval.
How to choose a partner
Identify the real working environment
If staff regularly work in low-signal areas like cold storage or basements, offline-capable native apps are a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Count how many platforms you actually need
If devices are company-issued and uniform, consider building for just one platform to cut testing cost.
Estimate how often the business logic changes
Frequently changing logic favors cross-platform, since one fix applies to both operating systems and avoids the two versions drifting apart.
Common risks
Data sync conflicts
Two staff editing the same order while both offline can produce conflicting data once they reconnect.
How we handle it: Clear conflict-resolution rules are built in, and users are notified when their data was overwritten so they can manually verify it.
App gets rejected during review
App Store can reject a submission over a missing privacy policy or an unclear permission request flow.
How we handle it: A compliant privacy policy and permission request flow are prepared before the first submission, avoiding repeated resubmissions.
Battery drains fast from constant background sync
Syncing too frequently in the background drains battery, leading users to disable the app's background permission.
How we handle it: Sync is scheduled by data priority rather than continuously, balancing fresh data against battery life.
