Mobile apps for
teams on the move
We design and build mobile apps for teams on the move, including iOS and Android 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.
When Flutter fits
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.
When React Native fits
React Native can make sense when the product already has a React team or needs to share parts of its product knowledge across web and mobile. We check the native features, background work, and device performance the app needs before choosing it.
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.
Understand the workflow
We clarify the users, journeys, devices, integrations, and constraints that should shape the first release.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The people carrying the app, the devices they use, and the job they need to complete.
What should happen when the network is slow, unavailable, or comes back after a task.
The M-Pesa flows, personal data, and records the app must handle safely.
Store releases, dependency updates, fixes, and the support arrangement.
Show us what happens when the signal drops.
Bring the people who will use the app, the devices they carry, and the part of the workflow that still happens on paper or in WhatsApp. That is enough to decide what to investigate first.
