App development in Slough
Your operation runs on systems that connect. Your customers are other businesses. We build mobile apps that work offline, integrate with what you already use, and stay maintained after launch. Apps your team will actually open.
App development for Slough businesses
Hubb Group is a digital agency and software company. Our studio is in Dubai and we work with UK clients remotely, on UK hours, with a named lead on every project. Contracts and invoices are issued by our UAE company, in pounds.
We measure by use and uptime. How often is the app opened? Which features drive actions—orders placed, tasks completed, time saved? Crash rates and loading speed. Whether the app integrates cleanly with your backend without manual workarounds. Costs per maintenance incident, months between issues. Real operational gains, not installed-base vanity metrics.
Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

Apps built around how you actually operate
Slough businesses move stock, data, and orders across multiple locations. An app that works only online costs you money when signal drops. We build offline-first tools—your team works without interruption, data syncs when connection returns. No pauses. No lost orders.
Integration isn't optional. Your backend systems—inventory, dispatch, customer records—need to talk to your app without manual steps. We scope what your operation actually needs, build it to work with what you already run, and document it so the next person knows how it works.
App Store and Play approval without the delays
Getting past app store review takes planning. Ambiguous functionality, accessibility gaps, or unclear permission requests mean rejection and weeks lost. We handle the requirements upfront—accessibility standards, privacy clarity, permission logic—so your app moves through review on schedule.
Your business doesn't have time for friction. We build to the platforms' rules from day one, test against their criteria, and submit knowing what the reviewers will see. No surprises. No resubmits.
Maintenance you can budget for
Apps fail in the first month because they're abandoned after launch. iOS updates break things. Android fragmentation causes crashes. Your team has other work. We include ongoing support—monitoring, updates, small fixes—so your app stays reliable and current without becoming someone's full-time job.
You'll know exactly what you're paying for. No surprise invoices for 'emergency' maintenance. We track crashes, flag deprecation issues before they hit, and keep your app working as the platforms change. Your business stays reliable.
Scoped to what matters, priced to your margins
Over-engineered apps drain budgets and timelines. We scope ruthlessly—what does your team need to do their job faster? What do your customers need to place orders without calling you? What stays out? That honesty saves you money and gets you to launch faster.
Slough traders run tight margins. We don't build features that won't earn their cost back. Native iOS and Android, proper backend, offline behaviour, maintenance—that's what we build. Everything else is scope creep. Your budget buys capability, not extras.

App development in Slough — common questions
Why native apps instead of a web app?
Web apps depend on connectivity and can't use device features—camera, offline storage, push notifications. Native apps work offline, feel native to your team's phone, and integrate deeper with operating systems. For field operations and distribution, that matters.
How long does App Store approval actually take?
Review typically takes 24 hours, sometimes longer if they flag issues. We build to their requirements upfront—accessibility, privacy, permissions clarity—so you're not resubmitting. Your app goes through on schedule, not held up by rejections.
Can the app work when our drivers lose signal?
Yes. We build offline-first. Your team captures orders, updates records, and logs activities without network. Data syncs automatically when connection returns. No lost work, no manual re-entry. Critical for distribution and field teams.
What happens after launch? Do we get handed off?
No handoff. We include ongoing support—monitoring, updates, small fixes, and iOS/Android compatibility as they change. You pay a set monthly amount. Your app stays reliable without your team managing infrastructure.
How do we know if the app is actually delivering ROI?
We build in logging from day one. You'll see how many people use it, how often, which features they use, and how long tasks take. Compare that to what they did before—phone calls, manual entry, site visits. That's your measure.
Can it connect to our existing systems—our ERP or inventory software?
Yes, if those systems have an API or database we can reach. We scope integration during planning, so you know what's possible and what costs extra. Your app becomes part of your workflow, not a separate thing to re-enter data into.
