Mobile Development – we build for a mobile first strategy

Customer journeys are now closely connected to mobile devices, making a strong mobile strategy an essential part of digital transformation. Today, businesses include mobile marketing, fulfilment, and customer service as critical to their digital commerce plans. Whether it’s B2C apps, where customers expect smooth mobile experiences, or B2B solutions that help field workers and professionals work efficiently while on the move, mobile functionality is no longer optional — it is essential.

Gislen Software bridges the gap between mobile transformation needs and real-world implementation by developing responsive websites, adaptive applications, and mobile-first solutions. While many B2B applications remain desktop-focused, we increasingly adopt a mobile-first approach for cases where accessibility and usability on mobile devices are critical. Our solutions keep full desktop functionality while providing an optimised experience on all major mobile platforms.

Selecting the Right Mobile Development Framework

The right technology is crucial for building high-performance, scalable, and user-friendly mobile applications. At Gislen Software, we use native and cross-platform technologies to balance performance, cost-effectiveness, and maintainability. These include Swift (iOS), Kotlin/Java (Android), and cross-platform technologies such as React Native, Flutter, and MAUI.NET. We also develop HTML5 Web apps.

Our expertise goes beyond standard mobile apps. We have built offline-capable solutions for access control, exhibitor management, and field workers who often work in places with little or no internet connection. These apps allow users to report incidents, access data, and complete tasks even when they are offline, helping to keep business operations running smoothly at all times.

Whether enhancing customer engagement in hospitality, streamlining operations for field workers, or delivering seamless e-commerce experiences, we focus on reliability, efficiency, and user experience to help our clients succeed in an increasingly mobile-driven world.

Understanding Mobile Development Technologies

The right technology is crucial for developing mobile applications that deliver a smooth, reliable, and engaging user experience. At Gislen Software, we work with various technologies to ensure that our clients get the best solution for their needs, whether it’s a native app for iOS or Android, a cross-platform application, or a responsive web-based solution.

Native Mobile Apps (iOS and Android)

Native apps are developed specifically for a single platform—iOS (Apple) or Android (Google)—using their respective programming languages, Swift for iOS and Kotlin or Java for Android. These apps offer the best performance, take full advantage of device-specific features, and provide the most seamless user experience. They are ideal when an app requires high-speed processing, advanced animations, or deep integration with the hardware (such as cameras, GPS, or sensors).

Cross-Platform Development (React Native, Flutter, and MAUI.NET)

Many businesses need mobile apps that run on both iOS and Android without having to develop separate versions. This is where cross-platform technologies come in. They allow us to build apps that work across multiple devices using a single codebase, which saves time and reduces development costs.

  • React Native (by Meta) – A widely used framework that allows us to build high-performance mobile apps using JavaScript and React with a near-native look and feel.
  • Flutter (by Google) – A fast-growing technology that uses the Dart programming language to create visually stunning apps with smooth animations and excellent performance.
  • MAUI.NET (by Microsoft) – The latest evolution of Xamarin, allowing .NET developers to create cross-platform apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac with shared code.

These technologies are perfect for companies that want to reach iOS and Android users quickly without compromising quality.

HTML5 Web Apps (Progressive Web Apps – PWAs)

Not all mobile experiences require users to download an app. HTML5 web apps, or Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), run in a browser but behave like mobile apps. They can be accessed instantly, work offline to some extent, and provide a cost-effective way to deliver a mobile-friendly experience. PWAs are ideal for businesses that want to offer app-like functionality without requiring users to install an application from the App Store or Google Play.

Choosing the Right Mobile Technology

The best technology for your mobile application depends on several factors, including performance requirements, budget, and long-term scalability. Whether you need a high-performance native app, a cost-effective cross-platform solution, or a lightweight web app, Gislen Software has the expertise to guide you through the right approach and deliver a high-quality mobile experience.

We help clients with cutting edge Mobile Development

Gislen Software has strong experience in mobile development. We build reliable and scalable mobile apps designed to meet the needs of different industries.

Our work with Dineflow, a Swedish restaurant automation solution, highlights our ability to create easy-to-use mobile ordering apps that connect smoothly with backend systems for real-time updates, payments, and personalised marketing.

Beyond restaurant technology, we have developed mobile apps for access control and exhibitor management at conferences for EACTS and for our own product Confexa.. We also build solutions for field workers who often work in areas with little or no internet access. Our offline-capable apps allow users to report incidents, access important information, and complete key tasks even when offline, helping businesses to keep running without interruption.

We have also supported BeeScanning in developing its AI-based app, which identifies parasites in beehives.

Whether we are helping create smooth customer experiences in hospitality or supporting workers in remote areas, we always design our mobile solutions with reliability, efficiency, and user experience in mind.
