iOS and Android mobile app development, native or cross-platform
AXELITES designs and develops your iOS and Android mobile apps, native or cross-platform, from prototype to publication on the App Store and Google Play. Customer service or field tool: every project starts from real use.
Your work, within reach
A mobile app designed, built and maintained by one team
UX/UI design, iOS and Android development, APIs and back office, device testing, publishing and maintenance: we cover the whole chain. The choice between native (Swift, Kotlin) and cross-platform (React Native, Flutter) is made with you, based on the features required, budget and schedule.
UX/UI design and prototype
Before writing a line of code, we design the journeys and a clickable prototype your users can test. You validate usability, key screens and the scope of the first release (MVP).
- Workshops, user journeys and designs
- Clickable prototype tested on a phone
iOS, Android and API development
We build the app natively or cross-platform, along with the APIs and back office behind it: user accounts, push notifications, geolocation, camera, offline mode and synchronization with your software.
- Swift, Kotlin, React Native or Flutter
- Secure APIs connected to your tools
Publishing, monitoring and maintenance
We prepare the listings and submissions for the App Store and Google Play, then monitor incidents, reviews and usage statistics. Updates follow each new version of iOS and Android.
- Real-device and acceptance testing
- Fixes, updates and improvements
How we move forward together
Scoping and prototype
We define users, priority features and constraints: offline use, security, target devices. A prototype validates the journeys and makes the estimate reliable.
Technical choice and architecture
Native or cross-platform, APIs, hosting and data security: the architecture is decided and explained before development.
Iterative development
The app is delivered as test builds you can install on your phones. You follow progress and adjust priorities at each demonstration.
Testing, publishing and follow-up
Acceptance testing on real devices, store submission, then monitoring of user feedback and planning of improvements.
A validated prototype and a costed first-release scope before development.
What kinds of mobile apps do we build?
We build apps for your customers as well as your employees, always connected to your information system.
- Business and field apps: rounds, service visits, inventories, readings and signatures, including offline
- Customer service apps: personal account, booking, order or case tracking
- E-commerce and loyalty apps connected to your online store
- B2B apps: catalogue, order taking and access to customer pricing
- New digital services: a first release (MVP) to test an idea with its users
Native, cross-platform or PWA: which technology should you choose?
A native app, built in Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, offers the best performance and full access to device features; it requires two builds. A cross-platform app, in React Native or Flutter, shares most of the code between both systems: it is often the best balance of budget, schedule and quality for a business or service app.
A progressive web app (PWA) can be enough when usage stays close to a website and presence in the app stores is not essential. We compare these options against your priority journeys before recommending a technology.
A secure app connected to your tools
A mobile app is only useful if its data is right. We design the APIs and synchronization rules with your ERP, CRM, online store or business application.
- Secure authentication, roles and permissions
- Encrypted exchanges and personal data protection (GDPR)
- Offline mode, synchronization and conflict handling
- Targeted, configurable push notifications
- Administration back office and usage statistics
How much does mobile app development cost?
The budget mainly depends on the number of screens and roles, the device features used, integrations with your software, offline mode and the choice between native and cross-platform. To keep it under control, we recommend starting with a first release focused on essential features, costed after the prototype, then extending the app based on user feedback.
You should also plan for the app’s life after launch: Apple and Google developer accounts, API hosting, adaptation to new versions of iOS and Android, fixes and improvements.
Why entrust your mobile app to AXELITES?
Since 2012, AXELITES has built web and mobile applications and connected them to its clients’ information systems.
- A complete team: UX/UI, mobile development, back end, testing and hosting
- Teams in Paris, Montréal and Tunis, with a project manager as your single point of contact
- You own the source code, publishing accounts and data
- Maintenance by the team that built the app

Practical answers to help you make the right decisions before starting your project.
Discuss my projectThe choice depends on the device features used, expected performance, offline use and your maintenance capacity. Cross-platform development (React Native, Flutter) shares most of the work between iOS and Android. Native development (Swift, Kotlin) better suits highly specific interactions. We compare the options against your important journeys before choosing a technology.
The main factors are the number of screens, user roles, connected services and features such as notifications or offline synchronization. The budget also needs to cover device testing, publishing and post-launch updates. A prototype validates the journeys and lets us cost the first release before committing to full development.
Timing depends on the scope of the first release, the number of platforms and the integrations with your software. The schedule is set after the prototype, with test builds delivered regularly. You should also allow for App Store and Google Play review times, which are outside our control.
Yes. We prepare the builds, store listings, screenshots and technical checks needed for submission. Publishing accounts are created in your company’s name. Approval and review timing remain under the stores’ control; any feedback is handled within the agreed scope.
Yes, if local storage and synchronization are planned from the design stage. We define with you which data stays available offline, for how long, and how to resolve concurrent changes when the network returns. Operations that depend on a remote service, such as a payment, still require a connection.
You do. The source code, documentation, data and the Apple and Google developer accounts belong to your company. You remain free to hand maintenance or improvements to another team if you wish.
Yes. Maintenance covers bug fixes, compatibility with new versions of iOS and Android, security updates and new features. Scope and priorities are agreed with you, and requests are tracked in a shared tool.
