      Software Development Review from John Armstrong

      ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

      Wearables Review from Issac John

      A global OTT provider - Discovery+ earlier this year, had a breakthrough launch in a cluttered OTT market like India with a differentiated product targeted at lifelong learners and passionate communities. The team at Robosoft played a significant role in building this multi-platform experience spanning iOS, Android, Web and Fire TVs. Their team comprises an extremely dedicated bunch of folks with a keen problem solving approach and under the stellar leadership of Ravi Teja, Jay Shah, Srinidhi Rao and Pooja Bal, they have been the kind of dependable partners that a lot of brands would be fortunate to have. I wish them and their team the best for their future.

      Our experience working with Robosoft has been quite good in terms of product and outcomes. With our CapitaStar@Work app for India business, the end goal was to bring our customers and their employees onto a digital platform. The objective was to integrate our solutions such as visitor, parking, and ticketing system management into a single app. CapitaStar@Work caters to our requirements and surely will make life simpler for our users. I would recommend Robosoft to others because it is a good organization to implement technological interventions in any traditional manufacturing, real estate, or brick-and-mortar industry.

      I have been working with Emergent Software since January 2019 as our main website development and support service. They are professional, knowledgeable and flexible to our ever-changing needs.

      Steve Molander's Review Sourced from Google

      Oversight of our databases have always been a challenge. Finding the skillset to properly administer the systems is both difficult to find and high priced for a mid-sized organization. We reached out to Emergent to find out more about their virtual dba services. Their services sounded to be exactly what we needed. That was over 4 years ago. Since then we found Emergent to be a key partner in helping us in administration of our databases. Our systems are highly efficient, highly available and we feel secure knowing they are under the oversight of some amazingly skilled engineers.

      Consumer IoT Review from Mason Ferlic

      GripFusion is a sports technology startup developing Tactile Intelligence. Our flagship product, the ForceBall, is the first grip-sensing baseball. We approached Atomic Object with the challenge to build a React Native iPad app to connect with the embedded electronics over BLE and visualize sensor data in real time. Atomic stepped up to the plate and hit a home run! They took early R&D code and we're able to successfully navigate IoT challenges, large amounts of sensor data, and seamless UX. The developer team worked closely with our technical staff to incorporate evolving firmware and hardware improvements. The design team did hundreds of hours of user discovery and product feedback to ensure we deliver a cutting-edge experience. Overall, Atomic has the breadth and depth to tackle complex hardware-software systems.

      Atomic Object is one of the best companies across the board in Michigan. Fantastic maker of custom-software solution and a model of organizational thought leadership. I've been working with the company in some capacity for nearly 20 years and learn something new in every interaction I've ever had. More than that, they are a value-centered organization that you will be proud to partner with. They've built this company the right way. An impactful community leader and employer of choice.

      Rik Cordero's Review Sourced from Google

      As a freelance Video Producer, I recently wrapped up another fun project with the folks over at Atomic Object, and I've gotta say, it was an experience worth mentioning. Collaborating with their marketing team on a series of authentic and engaging customer-facing and internal videos was nothing short of fantastic. Their seamless planning and logistics during pre-production, coupled with easy going personalities during production, made the process a breeze. Post-production brought our collective vision to life with meticulous story editing and videos that reflect their unique culture and values. Their team's dedication to kindness, empathy, and diversity made this collaboration not just successful, but truly enjoyable.

Success story

The following case study is an overview of how a mobile app consultant can help steer app development projects to success:

  • Challenge: The Azerbaijani Kapital Bank needed a modern mobile banking solution to cement its position in the regional financial services market.

  • Solution: ScienceSoft, an app development consultancy, provided an expert team to guide the app’s architecture and user interface update. It also offered a tech stack of solutions to speed up development. The agency also recommended programming languages to base the new apps on maximizing banking functionality and making it easier to resolve potential app performance and UX issues.
  • Results: The update of mobile banking apps was fast and cost-effective; it drove high customer satisfaction and engagement, resulting in a new clientele. ScienceSoft was also credited for ensuring the bank’s mobile banking services were uninterrupted and efficient throughout the project.

How much do mobile app consulting services cost?

Mobile app developers often bundle mobile app consulting services costs with end-to-end app development packages, which can range from $80,000 to $250,000 depending on the scope and complexity of the project.

Here’s a more detailed view of the costs you can incur from app development consultancy services as part of a broader app development project:

  • Basic mobile applications: $80,000 and up

  • Value-based: The fee is based on the value delivered to the client, but it can be difficult to quantify or justify.
  • Hybrid pricing: A combination of different pricing methods implemented during different project phases. It can minimize the disadvantages of each model but can be difficult to track.
