Mobile apps that put your business processes in people's pockets

A mobile app earns its place when it removes a phone call, a paper form or a trip back to the office. We design and build iOS and Android apps that feel native, work in Arabic and English, and read and write the same Odoo data your teams already rely on.

Short answer

We build cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter, so one codebase delivers iOS and Android apps with a native look and smooth performance. Typical apps serve field sales, employee self-service, manager approvals, customer ordering and loyalty programs, connected to Odoo through secured APIs. We also plan offline behavior, push notifications, analytics and publishing under your own store accounts.

Apps we build around Odoo

Each app is designed for one audience and a small set of daily tasks, rather than squeezing the whole ERP onto a phone.

Field sales app

Customer visits, price lists, sales orders, collections and returns recorded on the road and synced to Odoo Sales, Inventory and Accounting.

Employee self-service

Attendance check-in, leave requests, payslips, expense claims and HR letters, linked to Odoo HR, Time Off and Payroll.

Manager approvals

Purchase requests, leaves, expenses and discounts approved from the phone, with the same approval rules and audit history as Odoo.

Customer apps

Catalog browsing, ordering, bookings, order tracking, invoices and support requests for customers who prefer an app to a website.

Loyalty and gamification

A rules engine for earning points, tiers, redemption of rewards, challenges and badges for customers or employees, with an admin panel and reports.

Notifications

Push notifications triggered by Odoo events such as an approved request, a shipped order or a due payment, complemented by SMS or WhatsApp where suitable.

Why Flutter, and when native still makes sense

Flutter lets one engineering team ship iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, with consistent Arabic right-to-left layouts, smooth animations and access to device features such as the camera, location, biometrics and push notifications. For most business apps this means faster iterations and one set of tests instead of two.

We say so when a different route is better: an app that depends heavily on a platform-specific feature, or a simple internal tool that Odoo's own mobile-friendly web interface already covers. Our own EduPulse learning product, currently in early access, uses a Flutter mobile app on top of its platform, so the approach is one we use ourselves.

Offline-first and data design decisions

Field apps often work where the network is weak. These points are agreed before development starts.

  • Which screens must work without a connection
  • What data is cached on the device and for how long
  • Conflict rules when stock or prices change while offline
  • Queued actions and visible sync status for the user
  • Encrypted local storage and remote logout for lost devices
  • Dedicated API users with limited Odoo access rights
  • Error logging for failed synchronizations

From scope to the app stores

The path follows our governed delivery: approved requirements, controlled changes and customer sign-off.

  1. Requirements and user journeys

    Users, tasks, Odoo models involved and integration points are documented and approved.

  2. UI/UX design

    Arabic and English screens designed together and reviewed as clickable prototypes.

  3. APIs and app development

    Secured endpoints on the Odoo side, then the app built in short iterations with regular demos.

  4. QA and UAT

    Tests on real devices, weak networks and both languages, followed by user acceptance.

  5. Store publishing and launch support

    Builds submitted to the App Store and Google Play under your accounts, then monitored after launch.

Analytics that answer business questions

We agree on a short list of events worth tracking, such as completed visits, approval turnaround or points redeemed, and connect app analytics and crash reporting so issues are visible early. Business reporting stays in Odoo dashboards or Power BI, so app activity and ERP data can be read together. If you also need a website or customer portal, see our web and mobile apps page.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need Odoo to build a mobile app with you?

No. Many of our apps connect to Odoo, but we can also build an app on its own backend or connect it to another system through APIs. Odoo becomes useful when the app needs accounting, stock, HR or CRM data that already lives there.

Will the app look different on iPhone and Android?

The design is shared, while platform conventions such as navigation gestures, permissions dialogs and date pickers are respected. Users get a consistent brand experience without the app feeling foreign on either platform.

Who owns the app and the store listings?

We recommend publishing under your company's own Apple and Google developer accounts, so the listing, reviews and users remain yours. Store review times and policies are decided by Apple and Google.

How does a points or loyalty program stay fair and auditable?

Earning and redemption rules are configured in an admin panel rather than hard-coded, and every points movement is stored as a transaction that can be reviewed. Reports show balances, redemptions and rule changes, so finance and marketing can reconcile the program.

Can you take over an existing app built by another team?

Often yes, after a technical review of the source code, build setup, store accounts and APIs. The review tells you whether to continue, refactor or rebuild before any commitment is made.
