Why IS-A Mobile
Big-company experience, small-company attention
Growing businesses don't need a 200-person agency or a freelancer who disappears. They need a senior partner who understands the business, tells the truth about trade-offs, and delivers.

What we build
Apps that solve real business problems
Most of what growing companies need falls into three kinds of apps. We've built all of them.
Customer & loyalty apps
Apps your customers carry in their pocket: catalogs and ordering, rewards and points, store locators with GPS, offers and push notifications.
More repeat business, closer relationships
Internal & enterprise tools
Purpose-built apps for sales, inventory, approvals or research, designed around how your people actually work and connected to your existing systems.
Less spreadsheet juggling, faster decisions
Field service & operations
Digital work orders for technicians in the field: offline capture, photo evidence, signatures, AI-assisted data entry and automatic PDF reports.
Paper forms replaced end-to-end

FAQ
Common questions
How much does an app cost?
It depends on scope, but most small-business MVPs land in a predictable range once we've done a short discovery. We'll give you a written estimate — and options to reduce it — before you commit.
Native or cross-platform?
Both are valid. Native (Swift, Kotlin) gives the best performance and platform feel; cross-platform (Flutter, Kotlin Multiplatform) can lower cost when you need iOS and Android together. We recommend based on your users and budget, not our preference.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes. We start with a code audit, fix what's urgent, and give you an honest plan to modernize or rebuild.
Who owns the code?
You do. Source code, store accounts and cloud accounts are in your name from the start.
Do you work with companies outside the US and Mexico?
Yes — we work remotely with clients anywhere, in English or Spanish.
