Custom Application Development

 

The challenges associated with developing applications for handheld devices are unique:

  • Users are remote and therefore have special support requirements
  • Applications must score highly on usability to ensure that field workers are inclined to use their devices.
  • Displays on handhelds are much smaller than on PCs, so the available space must be used efficiently
  • Devices will often not be connected to a network, so applications must continue to function seamlessly when offline
  • Security is paramount when dealing with mobile devices, which are often lost or stolen.
  • New mobile devices and operating systems are released all the time, and mobile software needs to be flexible enough to cope with constant upgrades.


At HandStep we are experts in overcoming these challenges and specialise in simply mobile solutions. 


Tailor-made  

Every company is unique. When we develop a mobile solution we strive to understand our customers' core business, their working processes and the end-users' needs. Only that way we can develop solutions based on the overall objectives, requirements and ambitions of the company.


Built on standardized components

Through the years, we have developed a set of standardized tools for developing custom solutions which we call the HandStep Mobile Framework (HMF). We use these proven standardized basic components when we develop a new solution. This approach ensures that our applications are robust and reliable, with the added bonus of being far quicker to deliver than custom applications built from scratch.
