§ 01 — Overview

What we do.

MetroNova Labs designs and builds custom mobile applications for iOS and Android. We build customer-facing apps, internal team apps, and field-operations tools — connecting them to your backend, APIs, and core systems so data stays accurate and available on the go.

The difference it makes.

Work increasingly happens away from a desk. A custom mobile app puts your process in your team's pocket and your brand in your customers' hands — built for your workflow rather than forced into a generic template.

01

Work happens anywhere

Field teams capture and access real-time data on site instead of returning to a desk to update systems.

02

Reach users where they are

A mobile app meets customers and staff on the devices they use every day.

03

Faster, cheaper to launch

A shared cross-platform codebase can serve both iOS and Android, reducing duplicate effort.

04

You own it

You keep the source code, store listings, and roadmap — ready to scale and evolve.

Common challenges this addresses.

  • Off-the-shelf apps don't fit the workflow
  • Field teams lack real-time data
  • Manual, paper-based processes
  • No mobile access to core systems
  • Inconsistent iOS vs. Android experience
  • Slow time-to-market on two platforms
  • Data trapped in silos
  • No offline access for remote work

What we commonly build.

01

Field service apps

Work orders, job status, inspections, and reports that sync from the field.

02

Customer-facing apps

Booking, accounts, loyalty, and self-service for your customers.

03

Workforce & productivity apps

Task tracking, scheduling, and team tools for staff on the move.

04

Inventory & asset apps

Scan, track, and manage stock or equipment from a phone or tablet.

05

Logistics & delivery apps

Routes, proof of delivery, and live status for drivers and dispatch.

06

CRM & sales enablement

Mobile access to customer records, quotes, and pipeline on the road.

A clear path from first call to launch.

  1. Step 01

    We define the audience, scope, and success metrics.

  2. Step 02

    We design the user experience and a clickable prototype.

  3. Step 03

    We build the app, backend, and integrations.

  4. Step 04

    We test on real devices and refine.

  5. Step 05

    We launch to the App Store and Google Play, then support and iterate.

§ 07 — Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Should I choose native or cross-platform development?
It depends on the app. Native (Swift/Kotlin) suits performance-heavy or platform-specific apps, while cross-platform (React Native/Flutter) can serve iOS and Android from one codebase to save time and cost. We recommend the right fit after reviewing your goals.
Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. We build native iOS and Android apps as well as cross-platform apps that run on both from a shared codebase.
Can the app work offline?
Yes. We can build offline-first apps that store data locally and sync when a connection is available — useful for field and remote work.
Can you integrate the app with our existing systems?
Yes. We integrate with CRMs, ERPs, databases, and other systems through their APIs where an integration is available.
Will you maintain and update the app after launch?
Yes. We provide post-launch support, maintenance, and feature iteration based on your needs.
Who owns the source code and app store listings?
You do. We deliver the source code and documentation, and the app is published under your accounts.
Do you help submit the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We handle store submission, listing setup, and the review process.
