Great UX

Example App Projects.
PASIFIKA TV (WEBSITE & APP)
PasifikaTV is an MFAT (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade) funded initiative aimed at maintaining strong relationships in the Pacific region through various support of their media sector, including satellite content feeds. The app part of this project provides viewers with a quick and convenient access to the content schedule and is designed to be tolerant of poor and intermittent internet connectivity.

XPO (APP)
Xpo, who are the largest private provider of trade shows in Australasia, contracted us to build an app to be used by the sales people on trade stands to quickly capture visitors details (by scanning the QR code on people’s lanyards). It also enables the stand holder to set up custom questions for sales people to ask, enables those sales people to note visitor respones and provides on-the-spot eCommerce. This app has now been in commercial use for a number of years and has proven to be a game changer.
CARBON NATURAL (APP)
The Carbon Natural tree replacement calculator is the first app to be released by the environmental planning start-up, Urban Forest Solutions. It’s been a real pleasure partnering with them in their vision to use science and technology to enable carbon neutral development of urban spaces. You can read more about the project in the case study in the link below.

HPMV WEIGHTS CALCULATOR
One of our early workflow apps, the HPMV calculator, has proven invaluable for ensuring compliance (eliminating overweight fines) and maintaining a clear and automated flow of data for reporting back to NZTA.

AMTECH (APP)
The Amtech Rappid ordering app has provided a key market advantage through greatly enhancing the efficiency and mobility of product ordering for Amtech’s busy medical centre clients. Right from the start it was well received and, with a couple of rounds of user feedback and further UX development, is now bedded in as a must-have tool in the user’s working lives.
PASSIVE FIRE APP
This highly sophisticated app has been developed through a few generations of field trials to provide the best workflow for passive fire documentation, both for new construction and survey / remedial work. It uses gestures to pan and zoom and a fast-entry process that utilizes lists of industry data matched by auto-complete. It also allows the user to print compliance labels straight to a portable bluetooth printer and capture photos of work done.

frequently asked questions

How much will an app cost?

This is extremely variable depending on your requirements; typically the lowest cost apps are around $10,000 and they go upwards from there. Big factors include the amount of functionality in the app, what integrations to other systems it does or doesn’t need and whether or not we need to build a custom ‘back end’ data service for it.

Can an app integrate with our existing software?

The answer is almost always yes, it’s just a case of how easy or hard the integration is.

Does an app have hosting costs?

Because apps are downloaded from the app stores there is no direct hosting cost for the apps themselves. However, for apps requiring a custom back-end data service that data service does need to be hosted somewhere in the cloud and, if you don’t have an existing service that’s suitable, you may need to subscribe to a service specifically for it.

Will apps work on all devices?

Typically these days people only build apps for the iOS and Android platforms as other platforms have pretty much died out. So, where this is the case, your apps will only work on devices running those platforms. Some apps are also only designed to be released on tablet or smartphone specifically, however they are the same technically (apart from screen size), so even where this is the case it’s usually easy to adapt for release for both tablets and smartphones.
