Mobile applications

In Cameroon, the smartphone has become the main screen: it is where your customers shop, pay and communicate. In Douala, LabSofTouch builds reliable, easy-to-use Android and iOS mobile applications, for your customers as well as your field teams.

Who is it for?

• Retailers and distributors that want to sell or take orders directly from their customers' phones.
• Service companies (transport, delivery, healthcare, education) that want to offer an app to their users.
• Field teams: sales reps, technicians or data collectors who record information, even offline.
• Startups launching a mobile product that need a solid first version, ready to grow.

What we build

• Customer apps: catalogue, ordering, delivery tracking, loyalty, notifications.
• Business apps for your teams: data collection, inspections, inventories, appointment booking.
• Built-in mobile payment through Orange Money and MTN Mobile Money, directly in the app.
• Offline mode: the app keeps working without a network, then syncs automatically.
• Push notifications, geolocation, camera and QR code scanning as needed.
• Web back office to manage content and users and monitor app activity.

One app for Android and iOS, with Flutter

We build our apps with Flutter, Google's technology that produces fast, smooth Android and iOS apps from a single codebase. In practice, this means a better-controlled budget, shorter timelines and updates released on both platforms at the same time. On the server side, we build the API and back office with Laravel, for a complete and consistent solution.

Our method, in six steps

1. Analysis: your goals, your users and the key user journeys.
2. Design: screen mock-ups and user flows, approved with you.
3. Development: regular test builds you can install on your phone.
4. Testing: on several phone models, including entry-level ones, and on weak connections.
5. Publishing: release on Google Play and the App Store, with store listings.
6. Support: fixes, new features and compatibility with new Android and iOS versions.

Designed for real-world conditions

• Lightweight: quick to install and smooth on modest phones.
• Data-efficient: optimised images and fewer exchanges with the server.
• Outage-resistant: offline mode and automatic sync.
• Bilingual: interface in French and English.
• Secure: encrypted connections, protected sensitive data and secure payments.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to develop a mobile app?

It depends on its features. We can start with a first version focused on the essentials, then expand it. The precise schedule is part of our proposal.

Do you publish the app on Google Play and the App Store?

Yes. We prepare the store listings and screenshots, and handle publishing and updates on both stores.

Will the app work without internet?

Yes, if your use case requires it: we add an offline mode that syncs data as soon as the network is back.
