Bespoke Mobile Application Development

What is Bespoke Mobile Application Development?

Bespoke mobile application development is essentially the process of creating custom mobile apps that have been tailored specifically to the unique requirements of a particular business or individual. Unlike off the shelf mobile app solutions that are ready built and have been designed to serve a wide audience, bespoke apps are designed and built from scratch to fit specific functionalities, workflows and user experiences as defined by the client.

Typical Features of Bespoke Mobile Application Development

Custom Functionality

Bespoke mobile apps are designed and developed to align with specific business requirements. This means they offer tailored features that enhance a company's operations in some way, shape of form whether than be internally, externally or both. Because these applications are built from scratch, they tend to require more development time and resources than off the shelf mobile apps.

Integration Capabilities

Bespoke mobile apps can be designed to integrate seamlessly with a companies existing systems (providing the app is not replacing them) including CRMs, accounting software or payment platforms to allow for streamlined workflows.

Personalised UI

By choosing to create a custom mobile app, companies are able to create a highly personalised user interface which can be tailored to the target audience. This can be particularly useful if the application is going to be used by clients as it can be customised to suit their preferences and thus, may give the company a competitive advantage through providing a excellent user experience.

Scalability

As with all bespoke software, it can be built in way that allows it to scale as the business evolves. This can be particularly useful if a company is anticipating growth and therefore an increase in user base and/or the need for additional features because the organisation is targeting new sectors for example.

Security

Depending on the specific security requirements of an organisation, a bespoke mobile application can be custom built to align with any security standards or protocols the company has.

Ownership and Control

Depending on the company, this could be a blessing or a curse. Once the app is built, the organisation will have full ownership of the app and its source code which offers complete control over future updates and modifications. This is in contrast to off the shelf applications which are controlled by the vendor. The downside to having complete control over the app and it's source code is that this also means the business is responsible for the costs of maintaining and updating the app over time.

Cost

Custom mobile apps can be (and usually are) more expensive to develop initially with higher upfront costs when compared to off the shelf solutions. However, due to the custom nature of the app and the benefits they are designed to bring, they can lead to cost savings in the long term as there will be no recurring licensing fees.
