Should we build a mobile app or just make our website responsive?

If the use case is content consumption (reading information, filling out a form), a responsive website handles that well. If the use case involves offline access, push notifications, device hardware, or a workflow your team repeats dozens of times a day, a native or cross-platform app is the right call.

How do you keep the app in sync with our CRM and other systems?

The app uses the same API layer your other systems use. There's no separate database to sync. When the app writes data, it writes to your CRM. For offline scenarios, the app queues changes locally and resolves them when connectivity returns.

What does ongoing maintenance cost?

Maintenance covers OS updates, app store compliance, bug fixes, and minor feature additions. We scope maintenance as a monthly retainer with clear deliverables. No surprise invoices.

Can you build for both iOS and Android?

Yes. For most business use cases, we build cross-platform with React Native: one codebase, both platforms, near-native performance. For apps that require deep platform integration, we build native.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

A focused app with clear scope typically takes 8–12 weeks from use case definition to app store submission. More complex apps with multiple user roles, offline-first architecture, or extensive integrations take 12–20 weeks.

Specialty

Mobile App Development

Most mobile apps end up isolated from the CRM, the website, and the customer record your business runs on. We build iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps that share the same backbone as the rest of your stack, so what a customer does in the app updates everything else in real time.

The Problem

The cost of the current setup.

The decision to build a mobile app usually starts with a good instinct: your team needs to work from the field, or your customers need a faster way to interact. The problem is how most apps get built, with their own database, duplicated business logic, and no connection to the tools your team already uses. The app isn't the problem. The architecture behind it is.

Our Approach

A connected, intentional approach.

We build mobile apps that treat your existing stack as the source of truth. The CRM is the database. The API layer your web app already uses is the same API the mobile app calls. Business logic lives in one place and both platforms consume it. Your app stays in sync without reconciliation scripts, batch imports, or someone manually entering the same data twice.

The E&E Difference

This one doesn't work alone. None of them do.

The same team builds and connects each of these, so every lead, record, and hand-off lives in one place instead of three.

Real Result

unified system, same data on every screen

R&G's 55-page site, CRM, and pipeline already operate as one system. A mobile app for field teams would connect to the same backbone: same data, same system, different screen.

What's Included

What you get.

Shared data layer

The app reads from and writes to your existing CRM and business systems. No separate database, no data drift, no reconciliation.

Cross-platform or native build

React Native for cross-platform when speed and budget matter. Native Swift or Kotlin when performance or platform-specific features require it.

Shared business logic

Pricing, routing, scheduling, and qualification rules live in your API layer and are consumed by the mobile app, the website, and your internal tools.

Offline-capable design

Field teams don't always have signal. The app caches what it needs, queues updates when offline, and syncs when connectivity returns, without data conflicts.

Push notifications tied to real events

Notifications triggered by CRM events, scheduling changes, or pipeline updates. Not arbitrary marketing pings.

App store management

We handle submission, review compliance, and ongoing updates for Apple App Store and Google Play.

Analytics and usage tracking

Built-in tracking shows how the app is being used, which features get traction, and where users drop off, so decisions about what to build next are based on data.

Pairs with web development and integration

The mobile app shares the same API and integration layer as your website. Building both together means one architecture, not two.

How We Work

How this actually gets built.

01
Use case definition
We start with what the mobile app needs to do that your existing tools don't cover: field data entry, customer self-service, team coordination, real-time dashboards.
02
Architecture and platform decision
Based on the use case, we determine the right platform, map the shared API layer, and identify which integrations the app inherits from your existing stack.
03
Design and prototyping
UI/UX design for mobile-specific interaction patterns: touch targets, offline states, notification flows. You review interactive prototypes before any code ships.
04
Build in sprints
Development happens in two-week cycles. Working features ship at the end of each sprint. You see progress continuously and adjust priorities based on what you learn.
05
Testing and app store submission
We test across devices and OS versions, handle app store submissions and review compliance, and resolve platform-specific issues before launch.
06
Post-launch support and iteration
Usage data and user feedback drive the next round of features. We handle ongoing maintenance so the app stays current and functional.
