While websites are typically designed to attract new customers or employees, applications are frequently geared towards improving a company process, generating leads, sharing data, improving customer service, or simplifying redundant tasks. For the last 20+ years, Webfitters has been helping our clients use technology to streamline the way they do business and cut operational costs. We have built all kinds of apps for all sorts of businesses.
Creating an app for your business can be a huge step; regardless of your size and budget. There are a few things you will want to consider before you start.
Purpose
What problem are you trying to solve with your app? Do you intend for it to save you time? Money? Both? How much? Our Sales/Project Management team can help you scope this all out so you have a clear vision of what your company actually needs.
Platform
Mobile vs Web Apps. These are the two major types of applications used throughout the business world. They each have their pros and cons. We can help you determine which app is best suited for your business. We wrote an article that goes into a little more detail on this topic. Check it out here.
Experience
Does your vendor have experience in building apps? There are a lot of companies out there that claim they do. This is great, but before you decide upon one of these companies, ask about their experience in application development and project management. An app build is a huge challenge that requires both of the above to ensure success.
