Mobile App Development: Put Business Processes Where Work Happens

Mobile applications can extend enterprise systems beyond the desktop, to the field, the site, the customer and the manager on the move.

Put Business Processes Where Work Happens

Mobile applications can extend enterprise systems beyond the desktop.

Work doesn’t only happen at a desk. It happens at customer sites, in shops, on rooftops, in warehouses and on the road. MLT builds mobile applications that put the right process in the hands of the people doing the work.

Camera & Device Integration

Service and field teams can capture photos, scan equipment details and collect signatures directly inside the app, so evidence is attached to the job at the moment it happens.

Service teams: in-app camera capture, job details and customer signature on one screen

Approvals & Notifications

Supervisors don’t need to be at a desk to keep work moving. Notifications bring requests to them, and approvals can be completed in a tap.

Supervisors: a push notification and a one-tap approval, right on site

Location-Based & Offline Workflows

Field teams can follow assigned visits, location-aware forms and geofenced tasks. Where connectivity is unreliable, the app can store records locally and sync when a connection is available.

Field teams: assigned visits, geofenced forms and offline records that sync later

Real-Time Information for Management

Management apps put live KPIs, team activity and exceptions on the phone, so leaders stay informed wherever they are.

Apps for Customers & Partners

Customer and partner apps create digital interaction channels for bookings, orders, tracking and support, connected to the same backend your teams use.

Customers: self-service booking with live technician tracking

Web + Mobile + Backend

Rather than treating the mobile application as a separate product, MLT can architect it as part of one connected system:

One connected architecture
Mobile AppField, sales, service, customer and management apps
APIsSecure data exchange shared by mobile and web
Application LayerBusiness logic, workflows, rules and user management
DatabaseOperational data and records
Enterprise SystemsExisting business applications and platforms

Mobile and web apps sharing the same APIs, application layer, data and enterprise systems

This means the mobile app, the web application and existing enterprise systems work from the same data and the same rules, instead of becoming another disconnected tool.
