Mobile apps for iOS and Android
For work on the move.
In the warehouse, in the hall or out on site there is no computer, but everyone has a phone. I build apps that let employees check shifts, record things and open documents wherever they are.
How you notice
- Employees only hear about roster changes once they are in the office.
- Notes are taken on paper outside, and somebody types them up in the office.
- The signal is poor where the work happens.
How I work
I build the app with React Native and Expo. That gives one codebase for iPhone, Android and the browser, so changes do not have to be made three times.
The app shows only what is needed right now. In the Sporttag app, station leaders see their next assignment and the games in progress, not the whole plan.
When the signal drops, the app saves on the device first and syncs later. I plan for that from the start because it is hard to add afterwards.
The app and the office use the same data. In CoreOps, employees see their shifts, hours and documents in the app, in over 20 languages, and administration works on the same thing in the browser.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it have to be an app, or is a web app enough?
- If you need the camera, notifications or offline use, an app is usually better. Otherwise a web app you can put on the home screen is often enough. We sort that out at the start.
- Does the app have to go into the App Store?
- Not necessarily. An app only for your employees can also be distributed internally. Public apps go to the App Store and Google Play.
- Does the app work without internet?
- If it needs to, yes. The data is saved on the device first and sent later.
