App-Entwicklung: Softwaremodule für schnelle, wirtschaftliche Backend-Entwicklung

Professional app development – native, hybrid, progressive or cross-platform custom development.

Meeting user requirements__

Native, hybrid, cross-platform or progressive web apps – we develop individual app projects for B2B and B2C. The appropriate technology is defined project-specifically according to the business and technical requirements. Our customers receive all services during the lifecycle of their mobile application from a single source: from conception and development to hosting and operation. With a large number of mature functional modules from hundreds of app projects as well as experienced project managers (certified according to Scrum or GPM) we ensure a fast and economic implementation of your app project.

Via our digitization platform Almato ONE, intelligent AI or mobile backend services can easily be integrated into app solutions. In addition, with Robotic Process Automation (RPA) further possibilities for process automation or backend integration are available via Almato ONE. Thus, we ensure both a simple provision of mobile processes and a short time-to-market for our context-specific and user-oriented apps.

Outstanding UX, context-specific features, seamless integration and more

App projects from one source__

Mobile apps must meet the specific requirements of the users in the best possible way in order to be used successfully. We achieve this through many years of experience in selecting and designing processes suitable for mapping into apps and mobile use, as well as an attractive UX design tailored to the user and the usage context (location, time, devices, environment, etc.). In addition, we support you with our mature software, advice on the selection of the appropriate technology and systematic app testing to achieve high, flawless performance.

Software engineering

For us, the same standards of software quality apply to the development of apps as to the development of backend or web applications. We understand app development as software engineering with the goal of developing applications for our customers that enable stable and trouble-free operation and offer a high level of investment protection because they can be used for a long time and can be maintained with little effort. We support all relevant platforms such as Android and iOS as well as all development approaches, such as native (Objective-C, Swift, Java, Kotlin, C#, .NET), hybrid, progressive web apps and of course the latest cross-platform tools (Flutter, Ionic, React, Xamarin etc.)

In order to ensure high quality already during the development process, we use coding guidelines and methods (e.g. OWASP, Secure Coding etc.), procedures such as test automation, continuous integration, continuous delivery and DevOps. Furthermore, we support our customers in the administration of their App Store Developer Accounts as well as in the management of the required certificates and the distribution of the apps via Public App Stores, Enterprise App Stores or via Mobile Device Management (MDM).

To the Professional-Service

Hosting and operation of app backends

Both B2C and B2B apps typically require backend systems to map the desired functional scope. This often requires app-specific functions that are not available in existing backend systems. Direct access to back-end systems via apps is also often not desired or technically not possible, so that communication must be routed via mobile app gateways.

Almato develops and operates specific backend systems for apps. Standard functions, such as user registration and administration, notification functions or synchronization mechanisms are mapped via the ONE_Mobile-Back-End-as-a-Service (mBaaS) function of the Almato_ONE platform. Application-specific business logic is implemented as a modern server application based on Java or Python. To make the implementation of these backends as easy as possible for our customers, we also offer hosting and operation. The hosting of the applications can be done either in our ISO-certified data center in Frankfurt or at a Hyperscaler (AWS, Microsoft, Google). Here, customer-specific requirements (scalability, data protection, etc.) decide on the appropriate operating model.

To the Professional Service

Professioneller app support

Although apps are particularly stable on mobile devices, professional app support for both B2B and B2C apps is recommended. Apps usually have to be adapted to new releases of mobile operating systems several times a year. Discontinued APIs or libraries must be replaced and new security standards must be retrofitted. Furthermore, certificates have to be updated regularly or adapted to new App Store guidelines.

Almato offers professional app support via email and phone through the Almato Help Desk. We are guided by best practice standards such as ITSM and ITIL. For our customers, we provide professional systems for communication via tickets as well as for error and problem management.

Mobile-Backend-as-a-Service__

Via the ONE_Mobile-Backend-as-a-Service, numerous backend functions are available that are required by default in most apps. These include notification services for APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) and FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging), user registration and administration, special content management functions and connectors for the integration and synchronization of databases, web shops or ERP systems.

By using these standard functions in the context of app development, significant time and cost savings can be realized, since these functions can be obtained ready to use as cloud services.

To the product

Advantages of the cloud solution

  • Short time-to-market using standard functions
  • Reduced costs for infrastructure, hosting and operation
  • Seamless integration with apps and backend systems
  • Flexible scaling with regard to Data
  • High availability and reliability
 

Combination of Apps with AI and RPA – Use-Cases__

Innovative technologies such as machine learning or robotic process automation can significantly expand the application possibilities of mobile apps. Machine learning often opens up completely new functions and use cases or greatly improves the user experience.

Robotic Process Automation can help to close the gap between apps and backend systems and thus raise additional potential in the digitalization of business processes. Especially the integration of legacy systems, which do not offer suitable APIs or cannot be extended with new interfaces, is very easy with RPA.

 

App testing and app relaunch__

Besides professional app development, testing also plays a central role in the success of apps. This is especially important for B2C apps with high distribution and heterogeneous user groups. Not only before the first release, but also with every functional enhancement and after every update, apps must be tested with regard to usability, functionality, compatibility with devices and operating systems as well as performance.
