Delivery

Delivery in stages: Who builds your app, without risk?

Stage 1 is your MVP with the most important workflow. Each stage ends with a testable app version via TestFlight or Internal Track that your people can try out right away. And after every stage you decide anew: exit possible at any time, with no loose ends.

Who is the stage model for?

For decision-makers who don’t buy a pig in a poke.

You have a roadmap, maybe even bad experiences with the classic big project. The stage model is our answer to that, and it is for you if you recognize at least one of these sentences:

  • “We already came a cropper with an agency once. I don’t want that risk again.”
  • “I don’t want to wait a year until I see the first result.”
  • “Our budget comes in tranches, not as one big pot.”
  • “My people should try the app out early, not only at go-live.”
What you get

Every stage delivers. Not only the last one.

Stage 1: your MVP

The one core workflow that brings you the most: order onto the device, feedback into the system, offline included. Deliberately cut small, so that you see results early.

Testable app per stage

Each stage ends with an app version via TestFlight or Internal Track. Your drivers, fitters or field staff try it out on real devices, and their feedback flows into the next stage.

Exit at every stage

After every stage you decide anew: keep going, pause or exit. What is built works and belongs to you, source code included. No loose ends.

Solid .NET technology

.NET MAUI for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, offline synchronization, barcode and Zebra integration, connection to your existing .NET backend. One codebase, all platforms.

How a stage works

Four steps that repeat until you reach the goal.

1 · Stage cut

From the App Roadmap the next stage is cut: defined scope, defined result, effort range. You know before you place the order what you will get.

2 · Implementation

Our developer team builds the stage with .NET MAUI, with regular interim results instead of months of radio silence.

3 · Testable version

The stage ends with a testable app version via TestFlight or Internal Track. Your people work with it on a trial basis, and their feedback is collected.

4 · Your decision

Keep going, pause or exit: you decide with the result in hand, not on the basis of promises. Then the cycle begins anew.

Price & crediting

Calculated per stage. With credits from roadmap and inspection.

Delivery in stages

Each stage is calculated individually, and the effort range for it is provided by the App Roadmap. You always commission only the next stage, never the whole project. All prices net plus VAT.

  • Offline synchronization and barcode/Zebra integration
  • Connection to your existing .NET backend

This is how getting started pays off.

App Compass 749.00 €→App Roadmap 4,999.00 € 4,250.00 €→Stage 1 − 1,250.00 €

The Compass is fully credited toward the Roadmap, the Roadmap at 25 % toward your first stage. If you come with an existing app, the App Inspection brings a further 1,000.00 € credit toward Stage 1. You will find the whole ladder on the Mobile Apps page.

Proof, not promises

The exit is real. It is rarely used.

The stage model lives on every stage delivering: the ODYSYS D3 driver app runs daily with over 1,000 drivers and has been continuously developed further since release. We have been reliably developing Deltaplan’s FIS app with the customer since 2019, we migrated the iLOG app of the Bünting Group from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI, and at KMS/HERMLE the automated store deployment came along with it.

And experience shows something else: many of our modernization customers started with an app. At Odysys the driver app was the first step; today we are modernizing the complete industry solution there according to our Legacy to Innovation program.

Frequently asked questions

Answered clearly.

What happens if we exit after Stage 1?

Then you have a working MVP with your most important workflow, testable on real devices, and the source code belongs to you. No loose ends, no dependency, no penalty. That is exactly what the stage model is made for: you decide anew after every stage whether and how things continue.

How big is a stage?

Big enough that a complete workflow emerges, and small enough that you hold the result in hand after weeks instead of months. Stage 1 is deliberately the one core workflow that brings you the most. The concrete cut and the effort range per stage are provided by the App Roadmap.

What does a stage cost?

Each stage is calculated individually, because the scope makes the price. You know the effort range per stage from the App Roadmap before you commission it. Toward Stage 1, 25 % of the Roadmap (1,250.00 €) is credited; if you come with an existing app, an additional 1,000.00 € from the App Inspection. All prices net plus VAT.

How do our people test the interim results?

Via TestFlight for iOS and the Internal Track for Android: your drivers, fitters or field staff install the app on their real devices and work with it on a trial basis. Their feedback flows into the next stage. That way, after every stage you don’t see slides but your app.

Can we develop the app further ourselves later?

Yes, that is an advantage of .NET MAUI: your .NET developers work in a familiar language and environment. The source code belongs to you, and on request we accompany your team after handover in App Sparring. Alternatively, we keep the app running for you with the App Maintenance Contract.

Still unsure?

Are you still missing the roadmap?

The stages travel best on a clear plan: the App Roadmap delivers a click dummy, stage cut and effort range for 4,999.00 €, of which 25 % is credited toward Stage 1. Afterwards you know exactly what Stage 1 costs and delivers.
