Android apps for staff devices and customers
Many businesses issue Android handsets to staff or serve customers who use them. Apps need to behave well on rugged devices, older versions and long shifts.
We agree the device list and the features that matter most, then build and test across that range. Older Java code is migrated in small, tested steps.
- Modern, maintainable Android code
- Rugged devices supported
- Staged Play Store rollouts
Common situations
What Australian clients usually ask us to solve
Apps needing performance
New Android apps benefit from native Kotlin, which gives smooth scrolling and direct access to the camera and sensors.
Rugged and kiosk deployments
Apps for scanners, shared tablets and locked-down devices need specific configuration. We build for the hardware your crews and counters rely on.
Legacy Java apps
Older Android apps written in Java can be modernised gradually in Kotlin, improving safety and reducing bugs without a full rewrite.
