Built for the field
Our own apps, like ShiftTracker, are used by staff on sites with poor signal, so offline mode and simple screens are standard, not extras.
Backendz builds iOS and Android apps for customers and for teams in the field: fast, offline-ready and connected to the systems you already run. We handle the build, the App Store and Google Play release, and the updates after.
Or see how we engage first — four shapes, no sales call required.
No more paper job sheets photographed and typed up back at the office
Stop losing work when engineers drop out of signal on site
Forget apps your customers download once and never open again
Done with WhatsApp groups standing in for a proper system
Skip the App Store rejection that delays launch by weeks
Say bye to an app nobody has updated since the developer left
Our own apps, like ShiftTracker, are used by staff on sites with poor signal, so offline mode and simple screens are standard, not extras.
We build the app and the system behind it, so data flows straight into your operations software.
We handle App Store and Google Play publishing, review guidelines and release management, under your own developer accounts.
OS updates, new devices and new features handled by the team that built it.

Most enquiries land in one of these. If yours does not, say so on the call — we would rather shape the engagement than sell you the nearest shape we have.
Typical timeline: 10–14 weeks
Best for: facilities, security, construction and service teams
Best for: service businesses and product companies
Best for: SaaS and operations platforms going mobile
Best for: teams with an ageing or unsupported app
Every card is a build we shipped and still support. Open one for the decisions behind it.
What falls inside this service. Nothing here is an upsell discovered later.
We agree who uses it, where, and the handful of tasks it must make effortless.




Operations directors, CTOs and plant managers — the ones still using the system a year after the invoice cleared.
Freight operator · 14 depots
Freight operator · 14 depotsWe wanted answers our team could check against the original document. Having the relevant clause beside the response makes the assistant useful when reviewing policies and contracts.
Our rental journey had to work for both vehicle owners and travellers. Backendz brought listings, availability and bookings together into a platform that feels straightforward to use.
A single headcount does not tell us where congestion is developing. The zone-based view gives our team a clearer picture of how people are moving and where attention may be needed.
Tender preparation involves gathering evidence and getting the right people to review each section. Backendz brought those steps into one workspace, with drafts our team can check and approve.
Our estimating process needed to reflect how we actually price work. Backendz took time to understand the inputs and rules, then built a quoting journey our team could review and refine.
Thomas MitchellManaging Director at Ridgewell Roofing & CladdingThe team took time to understand how our staff work between appointments. The resulting system brings scheduling and client information together without making the day more complicated.
We could review working features throughout the build and give specific feedback. That made it easier to keep the product focused on the people using it.
Our field team needed access to job details away from the office. The mobile workflow keeps the relevant information close at hand and gives the office a clearer view of progress.
We wanted a client portal that reflected how we deliver our services. Backendz brought documents, requests and progress updates into a straightforward experience for clients and staff.
Our teams were entering the same information into several tools. Backendz mapped the process with us and built a more connected workflow with clear review points.
We needed scheduling, availability and shift changes in one place. Backendz shaped the system around the way our operations team works and stayed involved after launch to help us refine it.
Ask for references and we will put you on a call with the team that runs the system — not a case study PDF.

We wanted a practical way to review PPE and safety-zone events using our existing cameras. The team focused on the situations our site managers need to investigate and made the footage easier to review.
The priority was a counting workflow our warehouse team could use during a normal shift. Backendz connected image-based counts with the records we already use and made discrepancies easier to review.
Our information was spread across several operational systems. Backendz designed a clearer way to ask questions, inspect the supporting evidence and keep approval with our team before an action is taken.
The reconciliation workflow gives our finance team one place to review mismatches and supporting records. We can trace an exception back to its source and decide what needs attention.
We had outgrown the spreadsheets that held our pricing rules. Backendz helped turn that knowledge into a quoting tool we can maintain and explain to new colleagues.
Connecting our sales and inventory systems was the priority. The integration gives our team a clearer view of updates and a practical way to investigate records that need review.
The cloud work started with understanding our existing systems and dependencies. The team documented the setup and gave us a clearer basis for monitoring and ongoing maintenance.
The engineers worked alongside our team and explained their decisions clearly. Code reviews and practical documentation helped us stay involved throughout delivery.

The things people ask before they commit.
Ask it on the call. We would rather answer an awkward question early than discover it in month three.
Book a callMobile app development is designing, building and publishing software that runs on phones and tablets, usually for iOS and Android. A business app typically connects to a back-end system so data captured on the phone, such as jobs, photos or orders, flows straight into the business's software.
Cross-platform apps share one codebase across iOS and Android, which lowers cost and keeps features in step. Native apps suit heavy use of device hardware or very demanding performance. Backendz recommends one or the other based on what your app needs to do.
It depends on the features, the platforms and the system behind the app. A focused field or customer app costs far less than a large consumer platform. Backendz fixes the scope and price of the first release after discovery.
A focused business app typically takes 10 to 14 weeks to a first store release, including design, testing and App Store review.
Yes. Field apps can store data on the device when there's no signal and sync automatically when the connection returns, so staff can keep working on sites with poor coverage.
Yes. Backendz handles submission, store listings and review requirements for both stores, publishing under your own developer accounts so the app stays yours.
