Developing an employee app
Companies with staff in production, field service, warehouses, care or on construction sites who currently work without a suitable digital tool.
Updated: 2026-11
An employee app brings together workflows that today happen on paper, by email or in spreadsheets: data capture, checklists, approvals, fault reports. As a PWA it runs on company and personal devices, signs in with the company account, works offline and needs neither an app store nor device management.
Many employees without a fixed desk work with notes, photos on their personal phone and messenger groups. That is fast but chaotic, impossible to analyse and questionable from a data protection standpoint. Large enterprise software is often too heavy or too expensive per head for these workflows.
A lean app for exactly these workflows gets used if it is simpler than the paper note. That is the yardstick we apply.
What you get
Workflows as an app
The two or three most important workflows, designed with the people who use them daily.
Sign-in and permissions
Sign-in via Microsoft Entra ID or another identity provider, permissions derived from existing groups.
Offline capability
Capture without network and safe synchronisation, defined per feature.
Reporting and export
Overviews for supervisors and interfaces to existing systems instead of a new data silo.
How it runs
- 01
On-site observation
Look at workflows with future users and identify the biggest bottleneck.
- 02
Prototype
Clickable mock-up, tested with a few employees.
- 03
Delivery
Development in short cycles with a test environment and feedback from operations.
- 04
Rollout
Step-by-step rollout, training in minutes, support during the first weeks.
Price framing
Fixed price per stage after the prototype; operation and further development available as monthly support.
Indicative, not a binding quote — the frame is confirmed during scoping.

FAQ
Do we have to give every employee a device?
Not necessarily. The app also runs on personal smartphones if that is regulated organisationally; data stays separate from private content.
Do we need device management?
Not for a PWA. Security comes from sign-in with the company account and the identity provider’s policies.
How do we get employees to use the app?
By making it simpler than the current way. That is why we test early with real users and remove everything that is not needed.
