Customized functions

Here you’ll find ideas for customized modules for your barcode mobile web or natives applications!

Welcome to this part of the site, where you’ll find information on the techniques and functions we use, and those we can integrate into our applications, as well as tips and tricks to help you define your project and reduce its cost.

Our long-term credo: assemble program modules to create effective Android & iPhone apps at lower cost.

Indeed: since 2012, we’ve been creating tailored business traceability mobile applications by “assembling” functions, to reduce development time and customer involvement.

A doubly economical participative model:

Stacks of software and functions developed are expensive to maintain, so our low-cost model is inspired by the “SAAS” model from the web world to mobile with principal features :

to pool functions in standardized yet scalable mobile apps,
we then choose which projects to integrate,
modules and functions are accessible to our customers through a system of options and subscriptions with a defined duration per terminal,
Depending on the evolutions requested, a participation in the development of this shareable function is requested by quotation. The price of this upgrade has nothing to do with the price of custom development of a similar application of this value.
application upgrades will sometimes be frequent and will make shared functions evolve.
access to your database data will have to pass through our API server, in complete security.
the number of terminals is flexible.
for the customer, a new application is an operating expense, not an investment.
the only “investment” line remains for the terminals or printers you also offer for sale.

Mobile applications linked to databases and a simple spreadsheet-based customer interface

As an essential complement to specific mobile apps for portable “pocket” computers, for companies wishing to save their data directly in a database, we create a secure interface to the database, called an “API “. As a further complement to our in-house data management system, since 2021 we have been offering a standard no-code interface for managing data in spreadsheet format.

Full-stack!

And for those who want web pages to display results to their customers, we create custom web pages. This brings us up to a level known in the trade as “full-stack”: integration of the mobile with the server.

Secure software made in France

All our software is designed and created in France, by French people, using the latest technologies, and we control 100% of the product code. Our licenses and development contributions are our only sources of revenue, and no data is shared with or exploited by third parties.
