Why businesses in the UK work with us

Built for small UK businesses

Our apps are made for businesses that run on phone calls, WhatsApp and paper today: a plumbing firm with five vans, a courier with ten drivers, a salon with three chairs.

Same-day replies

We are five to six hours ahead of the UK. Messages sent in your morning are answered the same working day, and weekly test versions are ready for you to try.

You own everything

The app is published under your own App Store and Google Play accounts, runs in your own Firebase project, and you receive the full source code at handover.

Questions from businesses in the UK

Do you follow UK GDPR?

We build consent, privacy notices, UK data storage and data requests into the app. Most UK businesses that handle customer data also pay the ICO data protection fee; if you don't already, check whether it applies to you.

Can customers pay deposits?

Yes. Appointment and booking apps can take deposits or full payment by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, which helps cut no-shows.

Can drivers scan parcels?

Yes. Delivery apps use the phone camera to scan barcodes and QR codes at pickup and drop-off, and record a photo and signature as proof of delivery.

How long does a project take?

A typical Business App takes about seven weeks once we have your content and access, including App Store and Google Play review.
