App Development

Developing apps that truly digitize processes

We develop mobile and web apps for businesses that want to make their processes simpler, faster, or more accessible. For example, for service, inspections, customer portals, internal business processes, digital product services, or mobile data collection.

It’s not just about the app itself. First, we determine which solution fits your project, which user groups will be using it, which systems need to be integrated, and how data will be processed securely. Then we guide you through the entire process—from concept, UX, and UI design through development, testing, and launch—all the way to ongoing development.

App Development with soxes

1. Your question
2. Our response
What does soxes offer?
Mobile apps, business apps, customer apps, employee apps, service apps, inspection apps, portals, backends, and interfaces for iOS and Android.
Who is this relevant for?
For companies that want to digitize their processes, enhance the customer experience, or provide digital support to employees working outside the office.
What problems do we solve?
Paper forms, manual data entry, media discontinuities, lack of mobile access, cumbersome service processes, and apps without seamless system integration.
What makes soxes different?
We don't develop apps as standalone interfaces. We integrate mobile development with an understanding of business processes, backend development, APIs, and operations.

Here's what we offer in app development

  • Mobile Business-Apps

    Apps for employees, customers, or partners that provide digital support for specific processes and are easy to use in everyday work.

  • We design UX and UI

    Workflows, screens, and interactions are designed to help users reach their goals quickly.

  • iOS and Android Development

    Apps are developed as native or cross-platform applications, depending on requirements, budget, operations, and target audience.

  • We build backends and APIs

    Data can be collected even without a stable connection and synchronized later if the process requires it.

  • We enable offline use

    Features such as the camera, GPS, push notifications, barcode scanning, sensors, and local storage are specifically integrated.

  • We integrate device functions

    Features such as the camera, GPS, push notifications, barcode scanning, sensors, and local storage are specifically integrated.

  • Testing and Release

    Quality assurance for Google Play Console, releases, and App Store processes is handled thoroughly.

  • We continue to develop applications

    After launch, apps are maintained, updated, enhanced, and adapted to new operating system versions.

Common issues we encounter

1. Data is recorded on paper in the field
Inspections, reports, audits, or service calls are first documented by hand and later entered manually.

2. Field staff work with detours
Employees need information from ERP, CRM, or specialized systems while on the go, but do not have direct mobile access.

3. Customers expect digital services
Inquiries, status updates, bookings, or documents shouldbe available via mobile digital services , but are still handled via email or phone.

4. Apps are not connected to systems
An app looks good, but is of little use if data must then be manually transferred to the next system.

5. Offline situations are underestimated
Stable connections are often lacking in buildings, facilities, basements, trains, or while on the go. Without an offline strategy, the process becomes unusable.

6. Existing apps are difficult to maintain
Old apps still run, but can no longer be cleanly expanded or adapted to new iOS and Android versions.

7. Users do not accept the app
The application does not accurately reflect the actual workflow and is therefore bypassed in everyday use.

8. Releases become a risk
New versions are released without thoroughly testing devices, operating systems, interfaces, and backend dependencies.

App Development Case Studies

1. Stadler Rail

Conducting digital inspections directly on the vehicle instead of manually transferring data later: The mobile inspection app supports Stadler Rail in the structured recording of on-site inspections. Relevant information is documented directly during the process and processed more quickly. As a result, the solution reduces media breaks and increases efficiency per inspection by around 30 percent.

2. BBT

Capture documents via smartphone, without paper processes and without poor scan quality: soxes developed a mobile application for BBT that allows policyholders to scan their documents directly. An AI feature automatically improves photo quality and ensures clearer scans across different devices. The app supports fully digital workflows and can be used as a white-label solution for other insurance companies.

3. GRS

Automatically recognize certified gemstones and bring them to life digitally: The GRS AR app combines native app development, computer vision, and augmented reality. Since gemstones have only very subtle visual characteristics, soxes trained its own machine learning model for image recognition. The app recognizes gemstones, retrieves relevant data via APIs from the new LIMS, and reliably displays relevant content in augmented reality.

4. OYM

Bringing together training, therapy, athletic performance, and performance data in a single digital app: The OYM Planner provides a structured representation of complex specialized processes in high-performance sports. Different user groups work with the same data, workflows, and planning frameworks. This makes information centrally available, allows for clearer control of processes, and better supports mobile use in everyday life.
