How do I have an app programmed?

Or how do I have an app developed? This question will probably find its way into Google’s search bar more and more in the future. Are you responsible for driving digitalization in your company or do you have an idea for an app and are wondering how best to put this idea into practice?

Then you will find the right answer here. People with ideas in the field of augmented reality and virtual reality can also get an impression of how we can implement your project. From the app idea to the app store upload, there are various hurdles and technical challenges to overcome, as well as changes of direction at short notice. It takes a lot of experience, know-how and flexibility to develop an app as efficiently as possible and at the same time nip unnecessary cost drivers in the bud. As a competent digitalization partner, we have been using our own software development process for almost 10 years, which is based on agile project methods and the following principles:

Face to Face

In order to be lean and agile, we develop everything under one roof at our Zurich location.

Autonomy

Our project teams are autonomous and organize themselves according to the circumstances of the project. It is always adapted to the pace of the employer’s work.

Transparency

We consult with our clients at least every two weeks. They always have insight into the progress of the app.

Feedback

We plan our sprints every two weeks. This allows regular feedback on the progress of the project and the opportunity to adapt quickly to changing conditions.

Kiss

Keep it smart and simple. We program our apps without throughput heaters and without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Quality before quantity

We have a constant focus on technical sophistication and sophisticated user experience. This is how we win our awards

In summary, our approach focuses on direct communication, transparency and rapid adaptation to changes and change requests. Early involvement of our team allows us to identify technical cost drivers at an early stage and develop alternative solutions. Our process is geared towards the activities of an app development project from A to Z – from ideation to quality assurance:

Ideation

A quick look at the magic: In an ideation round, developers, game designers, consultants and engineers sit around a table and challenge an existing idea or develop their own ideas for the project. In this way, a common technical perspective is developed at an early stage of the project. This helps to develop concepts that can be implemented technically but also pragmatically and therefore cost-efficiently.

Concept

In the subsequent concretization of the idea, we help to identify the target users and develop a storyboard. The aim is to have a watertight concept that is clearly defined but also allows a certain flexibility for new ideas and changes.

Tech Check

After conceptualization, the technical challenges must be examined and mastered with a technical concept. If necessary, prototypes are developed to test critical functions.

Design

Only after the technical go-ahead is it clear whether the project can be implemented within a reasonable framework. We can then start developing the wireframes and designs. When developing the design, we work together with various design agencies and creative one-man shows, which are selected according to the requirements.

Coding

During the programming of the app, there is a (virtual) meeting at least every two weeks, where we discuss the status of the app and plan the next steps together. A project update can also be requested at any time. The developers discuss progress with the project manager on a daily basis. In the course of a project, our customers not only learn a lot of new things from us, we also learn from them. This is why the project team is called together every two weeks for a reflection meeting. This results in initiatives on how we can make our work in the project better and more efficient.

Testing

To develop award-winning apps, you not only need a good development team and creative ideas, but also a strict eye on quality assurance. Predefined and automated testing helps us with this, as do extensive user tests by experienced testers.

Release

There are various ways to make an app accessible to your users. Together we will discuss the right one for you and train you to upload further releases.

Our process and our teams accompany you from the idea to the upload to the app store – the all-round carefree package for the development of an app. Find out more about our services.
