Mobile Development – we build for a mobile first strategy

Customer journeys are increasingly linked to mobile devices, making mobile strategy a critical part of digital transformation. Today’s Businesses incorporate mobile marketing, fulfilment, and customer service into their digital commerce strategies. Whether it’s B2C applications, where consumers expect seamless mobile interactions, or B2B solutions that enable field workers and professionals to operate efficiently on the go, mobile functionality is no longer an afterthought—it is a necessity.

Gislen Software bridges the gap between mobile transformation needs and real-world implementation by developing responsive websites, adaptive applications, and mobile-first solutions. While many B2B applications remain desktop-focused, we increasingly adopt a mobile-first approach for cases where accessibility and usability on mobile devices are critical. All our solutions maintain full desktop functionality while ensuring an optimised experience across different mobile platforms.

Selecting the Right Mobile Development Framework

The right technology is crucial for building high-performance, scalable, and user-friendly mobile applications. At Gislen Software, we use native and cross-platform technologies to balance performance, cost-effectiveness, and maintainability. These include Swift (iOS) and Kotlin/Java (Android) and cross-platform technologies such as React Native, Flutter, and MAUI.NET. We also develop HTML5 Web apps.

Our expertise extends beyond traditional mobile applications—we have developed offline-capable apps for access control, exhibitor management, and field workers who operate in environments with limited or no internet connectivity. These solutions allow users to report incidents, access data, and complete tasks even when off the grid, ensuring business continuity regardless of network availability.

Whether enhancing customer engagement in hospitality, streamlining operations for field workers, or delivering seamless e-commerce experiences, we focus on reliability, efficiency, and user experience to help our clients succeed in an increasingly mobile-driven world.

Understanding Mobile Development Technologies

The right technology is crucial for developing mobile applications that deliver a smooth, reliable, and engaging user experience. At Gislen Software, we work with various technologies to ensure that our clients get the best solution for their needs, whether it’s a native app for iOS or Android, a cross-platform application, or a responsive web-based solution.

Native Mobile Apps (iOS and Android)

Native apps are developed specifically for a single platform—iOS (Apple) or Android (Google)—using their respective programming languages, Swift for iOS and Kotlin or Java for Android. These apps offer the best performance, take full advantage of device-specific features, and provide the most seamless user experience. They are ideal when an app requires high-speed processing, advanced animations, or deep integration with the hardware (such as cameras, GPS, or sensors).

Cross-Platform Development (React Native, Flutter, and MAUI.NET)

Many businesses need mobile apps that run on both iOS and Android without having to develop separate versions. This is where cross-platform technologies come in. They allow us to build apps that work across multiple devices using a single codebase, which saves time and reduces development costs.

  • React Native (by Meta) – A widely used framework that allows us to build high-performance mobile apps using JavaScript and React with a near-native look and feel.
  • Flutter (by Google) – A fast-growing technology that uses the Dart programming language to create visually stunning apps with smooth animations and excellent performance.
  • MAUI.NET (by Microsoft) – The latest evolution of Xamarin, allowing .NET developers to create cross-platform apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac with shared code.

These technologies are perfect for companies that want to reach iOS and Android users quickly without compromising quality.

HTML5 Web Apps (Progressive Web Apps – PWAs)

Not all mobile experiences require users to download an app. HTML5 web apps, or Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), run in a browser but behave like mobile apps. They can be accessed instantly, work offline to some extent, and provide a cost-effective way to deliver a mobile-friendly experience. PWAs are ideal for businesses that want to offer app-like functionality without requiring users to install an application from the App Store or Google Play.

Choosing the Right Mobile Technology

The best technology for your mobile application depends on several factors, including performance requirements, budget, and long-term scalability. Whether you need a high-performance native app, a cost-effective cross-platform solution, or a lightweight web app, Gislen Software has the expertise to guide you through the right approach and deliver a high-quality mobile experience.

We help clients with cutting edge Mobile Development

Gislen Software has extensive experience in Mobile Development. We develop robust and scalable mobile applications tailored to the needs of diverse industries. Our work with Dineflow, a Swedish restaurant automation solution, showcases our expertise in crafting user-friendly mobile ordering apps that seamlessly integrate with backend systems for real-time updates, payments, and personalised marketing.

Beyond restaurant tech, we have also developed mobile applications for access control and exhibitor management at conferences for EACTS and our product Confexa. These applications also provide solutions for field workers, who often operate in environments with limited or no internet connectivity. Such offline-capable apps can enable users to report incidents, access critical information, and complete essential tasks even when off the grid, ensuring uninterrupted operations. We have also helped BeeScanning develop its AI-enabled app, which identifies beehive parasites.

Whether we’re enabling seamless customer experiences in hospitality or empowering workers in remote locations, we design our mobile solutions with reliability, efficiency, and user experience in mind.
