Benefits of Mobile Apps for the Service Industry
Mobile App Development Stages for Service Industry
We examine the performance of the company, its business processes and the algorithm for fulfilling customer orders. We analyse the peculiarities of the target audience, their desires and needs. We observe similar applications of competitors to do our best to create a better product.
Based on the results of the audit, we develop the structure of the mobile application, define the feature list and formulate the design requirements. We set all this out in detail in the terms of reference. Once the terms of reference have been approved, we sign a contract and start development.
The designer creates a unique, eye-catching interface that is easy to use. When developing the design, we adhere to the principles of UX / UI so that the application is not only beautiful, but also comfortable for the audience.
We carry out front-end and back-end development of the user part and the admin panel. If necessary, we synchronise the application with the website or accounting program using the API.
We test the finished product for bugs. We find the causes and fix the problems so that the application runs smoothly and without errors once it is launched.
We publish the application to the App Store and Play Market, optimise its page and prepare it for promotion, if desired. We launch advertising and other promotional methods. We provide technical support and release updates as required.

Estimation of Apps Development Cost
Creating an application for a beauty salon, dry cleaner or car service is a multi-stage process involving design, programming and product testing. The complexity of the work at each stage affects the cost of developing the application.
Structure and Functionality
The price depends on what set of options customers can use, what options are available to administrators, what sections the application consists of and whether an online payment function is, and integration with the site, etc.
Design Complexity
An acceptable option for starting in many niches is an inexpensive interface without complex elements. The exclusive design is more expensive, but it helps to stand out from the competitors, attracts and keeps the audience’s attention.
Android, iOS, or Cross-platform
The Apps development cost for services depends on the operating system. One hybrid cross-platform product on React Native will cost less than two separate applications for iOS and Android.
Promotion and Support
If you want to entrust us with the application promotion and technical support, the cost of these services will be included in the project budget.
