Apps

Business Mobile Apps

Internal apps that replace paper, texts and double entry, one screen per role, connected to the systems your office already uses.

Add the next processJust now

Superstack builds the internal business app your operations team needs, for cleaning crews, guards and support workers. This is business mobile app development that starts with one painful process, such as the site checklist, and puts it on the phones staff already carry, connected to your accounting software, payroll and your CRM. One screen per role, nothing to rekey.

The problem

paper forms and a group chat

  • Our crews fill in site forms on paper, photograph them, email the office, and someone retypes them on Monday.
  • WhatsApp is our job management system. Jobs get lost in the scroll, and nobody can find last month's photos.
  • A client disputed a clean last week, and we had no record of who was there or what they did.
  • I hear about today's problems tomorrow, when the paperwork comes in, and by then the client has already rung.
  • The generic app we bought has fields we do not need and none we do, so staff keep a notebook too.

What Superstack builds

business mobile app development, process first

We start with the process, not the app. The first version replaces one paper or group-chat routine and nothing else, so staff pick it up quickly. Then it grows, one process at a time. The modules below are the parts every build draws on.

Example workflow

The workshop picks one process and maps it. We design a screen for each role, which you approve before the build. The pilot is one team using the app for real while the rest of the business carries on. The pilot always finds something, a field in the wrong order or a photo step nobody needs, and we fix it before anyone else sees it. Then rollout with training, and the next process goes on the list.

Integrations

Your accounting software gets the invoice when a supervisor signs off a job and reports whether it is paid. PayHero and other NZ payroll systems receive hours from check-in and check-out, so nobody keys a timesheet. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 handle logins. Twilio sends SMS nudges. Your CRM supplies clients and sites and gets the service history back.

Add AI when it actually makes sense

AI is optional, and a paper-replacement app does its job without it. We add it where it saves a manager's evening. Read how we use AI and where it fits into business process automation.

Web app, mobile app and customer portal

Web app

Supervisors, admin and the owner use the web app: setting up sites and forms, building rosters, watching the live dashboard and pulling the audit trail when a client asks. It runs in any browser.

Mobile app

This is the operations app for staff on the road: today's jobs, the forms for each, the camera, the signature box and check-in. It captures everything offline and syncs when it finds signal.

Customer portal

A client logs in to the portal to see completed visits, photos and signed forms for their sites. Web app, mobile app and portal share one database, so a form filed on site reaches the client.

FAQ

The one that causes the most rekeying or the most arguments. For most operations teams that is a form: the site checklist, the incident report, the timesheet. Pick something staff do every day, that has a clear start and finish, and that the office currently retypes. A daily process gives the pilot enough repetitions to prove itself quickly, and everyone sees the win.

By making the app shorter than the paper it replaces. A site check of six ticks and a photo on paper becomes six taps and a photo in the app. Every complaint in the pilot is a design fault to fix, not a user to retrain. When the new way is faster, people switch, including the ones who said they never would.

Yes, usually. The common trio is a forms app, a timesheet app and a job tool, each with its own login and monthly fee. One business process app covers the forms, the check-in and the job flow, so the data joins up and there is one login. We map what each one does in the workshop and keep anything worth keeping, connected by API.

You do, and for an operations app that matters, because the audit trail is your evidence in a dispute. Every form, photo and timestamp lives in your database, exportable at any time, and the code ownership is written into the proposal. Staff privacy is part of the same conversation: the app collects location and check-in data only during shifts, and we help you write that policy.

Quickly, because a pilot covers one process, one team and nothing else. The workshop fixes the scope, design is a handful of screens, and the build is small by design. Your part is choosing the team and the site, and giving them the app on a normal working day. The proposal gives you the actual dates, based on the process you pick.

Yes. The moment a cleaner submits a form or checks in, it is on the manager dashboard, with no refresh and no end-of-day sync. A supervisor sees a hazard the minute a cleaner ticks it, and the owner sees which sites nobody has visited by lunchtime. Things that cannot wait for someone to look at a screen go out by push or SMS.
