Mobile products from Nairobi

Mobile App Development for
work beyond the desk.

We design and build mobile applications for iOS and Android, including field tools, customer apps, offline workflows, and M-Pesa or other payment integrations where they fit the product.

Start with the conditions the app has to handle

We start with the people, devices, connectivity, and business rules that shape the product. The result should be useful on launch and understandable to the team that will support it afterwards.

Security and privacy

We consider authentication, permissions, input validation, secure transport, local storage, and data handling as part of the product design. The controls depend on the information the app holds and the integrations it uses.

  • • Access and permissions
  • • Secure data handling
  • • Device features where appropriate

Regular working reviews

We break the work into reviewable stages and share working builds as agreed. Your team can test the important journeys, raise questions, and adjust priorities while there is still time to respond.

  • • Working demonstrations
  • • Shared priorities
  • • Clear decisions and actions

A backend that fits

Mobile apps need dependable services behind them. We use tools such as Laravel and Spring Boot when they suit the product, with clear APIs, sensible data structures, background processing, and a hosting plan that matches expected usage.

  • • Clear application APIs
  • • Background processing where needed
  • • Documented deployment choices

Mobile products for
real-world conditions.

Statum builds from Nairobi for organisations in Kenya and beyond. We pay attention to the details that affect mobile products in practice: device variety, intermittent connectivity, data costs, local payments, and the needs of people working away from a desk.

Local and international use

When a product serves more than one market, we plan for the currencies, languages, time zones, and payment methods that users actually need.

Connected systems

A mobile app is usually one part of a wider service. We document the APIs and data flows needed to connect it to payment services, business systems, notifications, and a future web platform.

Our Technical Stack

Selecting the right tool for global performance.

Flutter Mastery

Flutter can be a good fit for cross-platform applications when the product benefits from one shared codebase. We use it alongside native capabilities and test the important journeys on the devices the product needs to support.

React Native Scaling

For projects requiring tight integration with existing enterprise React web platforms, we deploy React Native. Our engineers specialize in Native Bridge optimization, ensuring that complex JS threads don't block the UI, delivering a responsive experience even in highly interactive fintech or e-learning apps.

A clear mobile delivery process

We agree the important journeys first, test them on representative devices, and keep the release process visible to the people responsible for the product.

01

Understand the workflow

We clarify the users, journeys, devices, integrations, and constraints that should shape the first release.

02

Build and review

The team works through agreed priorities and reviews working builds as the product takes shape. Automated checks are added where they provide useful protection.

03

Check the release

We review permissions, input handling, data flows, dependencies, and release configuration. Any formal assessment or regulatory review is agreed separately when the project requires it.

04

Launch and maintain

We hand over the release materials and can continue with maintenance, store updates, fixes, and improvements under an agreed support arrangement.

Mobile payments and
financial workflows

We help teams connect mobile products to M-Pesa and other payment services. The work usually includes callbacks, retries, transaction status, reconciliation, and clear handling of failures.

Daraja (C2B / B2C)

Payment requests and disbursements planned around the provider's API.

Ledger Accuracy

Transaction records that make status and reconciliation easier to follow.

Error Resilience

Retry handling for timed-out callbacks and carrier API interruptions.

Common gateways

Payment providers can be assessed for products serving customers in more than one market.

Mobile app development questions

Straightforward answers about mobile product delivery.

We test the journeys that matter on representative devices and network conditions. That includes checking image sizes, startup time, memory use, offline behaviour, and battery impact before release.
Ownership of custom code, designs, documentation, and deployment materials is set out in the project agreement. We plan the handover so the client knows what will be delivered and how it can be maintained.
Yes, where the product needs it. We can plan for currencies, languages, time zones, payment providers, and market-specific rules while keeping the first release focused.
We can continue with dependency updates, store submissions, fixes, and improvements after launch. The maintenance scope and response expectations are agreed for each project.
How we work

Plan the mobile conditions before the screen design.

We scope mobile products around field workflows, customer journeys, connectivity constraints, launch readiness, and long-term maintenance.

Start with

The people, devices, operating environment, and job the app needs to support.

Plan for

Connectivity, data handling, release paths, and support after launch.

Review with

The people who will use the app and the team responsible for the service behind it.

Handover includes

The source, technical notes, and a clear view of what needs attention next.

A useful first conversation

Bring the workflow, decision, or technical constraint that is creating the most friction. We can then decide whether discovery, a focused delivery phase, or a different next step makes sense.
