App development process at itpilot
1
Concept & idea
We start by defining the purpose of the app. What is its core function? What features and functions are important for users? Who will use it? Here, we can draw on our extensive experience from other projects and provide constructive feedback and advice.
2
Design
Next, we focus on making the app as simple and user-friendly as possible. We work with a clear and easy-to-use navigation, as well as an attractive layout that reflects your brand and appeals to your target audience.
3
Development
Then, our programmers take on the actual coding of the app on the chosen platforms (iOS/Android). We optimize the app's performance and also code a backend as a supplement to the mobile part of the app, if you need administrative access.
4
Test
Once the coding is in place, it is important to test the app as there are many different devices with different screen resolutions and operating systems. It is therefore essential that your app is tested as widely as possible.
5
Launch
It's finally time for the launch and release of your app in the App Store and Google Play. There are many administrative tasks associated with this phase, and it's important to have our expertise with you to get the app out to your users.
6
Follow-up
The development and market continue even after the launch - it's important to follow up on the app and see how users are using it, and most importantly, whether they are using it.
Concept development of the app
When you contact us with your app idea, we start developing the concept together with you. The purpose of the app must first of all be defined, and your wishes for features must be clarified.
Simple features or
custom-designed app?
At itpilot, we can help with both app solutions as well as custom-designed solutions that can integrate the app with your existing website, CMS and ERP systems, and that have an administrative backend system where you can update the app according to your needs.
Our focus is on producing apps with the latest technologies and best user experiences and choosing the app type that fits your needs.
Keep it simple
It's important to remember that you can always start with a simple app that contains the core functionality and later expand the functionality. itpilot is with you on the whole journey, and we ensure that you choose the best solution and that your app is published in the App Store and Google Play.
Integration with hardware
If you want your app to be integrated with hardware or IoT devices, we can also help you. We have previously developed an app for Loadmaster Weighing Systems, which captures data from LoadMaster's weighing module using the phone's Bluetooth.

Native app, hybrid app or web app?
There are different types of apps:
- Native apps
- Hybrid apps
- Web apps
The choice of app type can have an impact on what your app can do and how it can be used. Therefore, you must also decide which type of app you want at the start of the project process. Fortunately, our app developers have extensive experience with the various types of apps, and we can therefore also advise you on which type of app you should choose.
Advantages of having an app developed for your company
There can be many advantages to having an app developed for your company:
With an app, you get even closer to your users and customers, depending on the type of app you want to develop. Once the users have downloaded your app, they have a quick channel directly to your company, where they can easily make a purchase, find information, carry out tasks, etc.
When users have a direct and user-friendly channel to your company, customer loyalty will also increase. Users are reminded of your company when the app is available on their phones, and this can lead to increased interaction and use of the app.
If it is a productivity app, it will be easier for employees to maintain an overview of work tasks, create documentation or register working hours and tasks, etc.
If it is an e-commerce app, it is easy for customers to search for products and make purchases. In addition, you can target offers and exclusive content to the individual customer through the app.
If you can develop an app that will support your company and be used by employees, it can lead to the streamlining of certain work tasks and thus also improved business processes.
This is among what we have developed together with Nordic Waterproofing A/S with the Tagpas app. Tagpas was developed to streamline the process for roofers and builders when roofing processes need to be created, submitted and approved as well as documented. In other words, Tagpas are used throughout the entire roofing process.
The advantages of developing Tagpas as an app are partly that the roofer always has the solution at hand, it has become easier to maintain an overview of tasks, and thanks to the phone's camera, roofers can easily photo-document processes and results directly in the app.
A well-developed app can help your company's branding and brand identity, which can also help differentiate you from your competitors. A well-developed app can become an integral part of the users' everyday life - and thus your brand also becomes a fixed part of the users' lives.
In this way, an app can give you long-term branding - and this increases the likelihood of word-of-mouth marketing if users are satisfied with the app and its functions.
An app can also give your company some competitive advantages - especially if your competitors do not offer a similar solution. With the help of an app, you can offer your users a more personalized and customized user experience, you can facilitate the users' work processes, or you can create additional sales via exclusive offers and discounts and by utilizing the app's options for push notifications.
Through your app, you can also offer a support function so that users can easily and quickly find answers to their questions. It can contribute to users becoming even more closely linked to your company rather than your closest competitors.
Through an app, you have the opportunity to collect valuable data about the behavior of your users. By means of data collection, you can thus gain a unique insight into how your users use your app and what their preferences are.
This data can be used to improve your app or your products and services. You can also use usage data as a basis for your marketing efforts in order to reach a larger part of the target group. Based on your data collection, you have concrete knowledge of which functions are most valuable to your users and thus potential users/customers.
