Custom mobile applications built by Distinct-app

Need something built from scratch?

Alongside our ready-to-subscribe apps, we also design and build fully custom software for businesses whose workflow does not fit an off-the-shelf product.

Mobile apps

Native-feeling iOS and Android apps your customers and field teams actually use every day.

Web platforms

Dashboards, portals and internal tools that replace the spreadsheet holding your business together.

Integrations

Payments, accounting, POS and logistics systems wired together so data stops being re-typed.

Support & scale

We stay on after launch, monitoring, iterating and growing the product with your business.

How a custom build works

01

Scope

A short paid discovery. We map the workflow, agree the build and quote a fixed price.

02

Build

Two-week sprints with a working build in your hands at the end of every one.

03

Launch

Store submission, training and handover, plus a support plan sized for your team.

Getting access, step by step

Every app above is a cloud software subscription — there's nothing to install and nothing physical to ship. Custom-built software is delivered differently; see custom software above.

01

Subscribe

Pick the app you need and complete signup online with your account and business details.

02

Pay & activate

Once payment is received and verified, access is activated usually within one business day for EFT, or minutes where automated payment is enabled.

03

Onboard

Some apps work immediately; others have a short setup step adding your business, staff or settings which we'll walk you through if it applies.

04

Sign in

You (or invited staff) sign in directly at the app's own website with your account nothing else is delivered to you.

Paid but not seeing access, or want the full detail including how custom-development milestones are delivered? See the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.
