Mobile App Development
Field teams have no access to desktop software. A mobile application collects that data at its point of origin and transmits it to headquarters in real time.

Mipo develops iOS and Android mobile applications for enterprise clients from the design stage through to store publication. Applications work integrated with existing ERP and databases; enterprise scenarios such as offline use, field data collection and barcode scanning are supported.
Mobile apps in five steps, the last one is store release.
At the end of each step you hold something concrete. There is no in-between state called “in progress”.
- A
Field scenario
The real conditions in which the app will be used are identified: gloved hands, screens in sunlight, a warehouse without connectivity.
↳ Use-case scenario document
- B
Platform decision
Single codebase or native development — this decision depends on how intensively the device hardware is used.
↳ Platform and technology decision, with rationale
- C
On-device prototype
Design is tested on a real handset, not on screen. An interface that does not work in the field looks fine on the desk.
↳ Prototype installed on test device
- D
Offline verification
Tested with connectivity cut off; data loss and conflict scenarios are run.
↳ Synchronisation test report
- E
Publication
Store publication or internal distribution. Store accounts are opened in the organisation's name; we manage the process.
↳ Published application and distribution record
When the iOS and Android builds reach your hands.
Two-week cycles keep the project visible. Months of “in development” followed by a surprise delivery don’t happen here.

What mobile app development does not cover.
Items not in the quote are surprises that appear mid-project. With us, exclusions are also in writing.
- App store account fees
- Device hardware — phones and tablets are procured separately
- Advertising and store optimisation work
- Post-publication content entry and user management
Questions about mobile app development.
In most enterprise scenarios, yes. A single codebase reduces both cost and maintenance burden. For applications that use device hardware intensively, native development is recommended; we make this decision together during the analysis phase.
Offline operation is a standard requirement for enterprise projects. Data is stored on the device and synchronised with conflict resolution when connection is restored.
Yes. The service layer the application communicates with is developed to integrate with your existing ERP or database.
Publication accounts are opened in the organisation's name; the publication process and meeting store requirements are handled by us.
Under the maintenance agreement, compatibility with new iOS and Android versions is checked regularly and necessary updates are planned.
