Alter Labs Build a Brighter Reality Get Started

Our Solutions

Custom App

Mobile and web applications built around how your business works.

Applications built for the way your business already works

The operational problem

Packaged software is written for the average business. Where the way you work is the reason customers choose you, the tool has to follow the work rather than the other way round.

AlterLabs builds the application around the process you already run, so the people using it recognise their own work on the screen.

What AlterLabs builds

Custom mobile and web applications: the screens your team works in, the data behind them, and the rules that decide who sees what.

Work is released in stages, so something usable is in your hands before the whole system is finished.

  • Product scope and screen flow
  • Mobile application development
  • Web application development
  • Accounts, roles and permissions
  • Data model and reporting views
  • Connections to the systems you already run
  • Testing and release preparation
  • Handover documentation for your team

Where this helps

An application earns its place when the process is specific to you, repeats often, and is currently held together by spreadsheets, messages and memory.

Where a packaged tool already fits the work, AlterLabs will say so rather than rebuild it.

Who this is best for

  • Teams that have outgrown spreadsheets and shared documents
  • Businesses running a process no packaged tool matches
  • Field teams that need the work on a phone
  • Operations that need roles, approvals and a record of who did what
  • Owners who want their data in a system of their own

Clear scope before implementation

Application work is quoted against a written scope: the screens, the roles, the data and the systems it must talk to. The first release is deliberately small, so the shape can be checked in real use before more is built.

Frequently asked questions

Mobile, web, or both?

It depends on where the work happens. Work done on the move usually belongs on a phone; work done at a desk is usually easier on a larger screen. Both can run on one set of data.

How is this different from a business website?

A website presents the business to visitors. An application is where the work itself is done: accounts, records, permissions and everyday tasks.

Can it work with the systems we already use?

Where those systems allow a connection, yes. What can be connected is confirmed during scoping, before the work is quoted.

What happens after the first release?

Further releases and support are agreed separately, so the first release is not held up by work that can come later.
