We develop native Kotlin applications for Android, from scoping to publication on the Play Store, for projects that have to run on a wide range of devices, from the consumer smartphone to rugged professional hardware out in the field.
AndroidNative Android development relies on Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, the tools published by Google, with no intermediate layer shared with another operating system. The application then accesses the device hardware directly: sensors, built-in barcode reader, Bluetooth or NFC connectivity, including on professional or rugged devices. In the field, the application makes the most of a specific model rather than limiting itself to the functions common to every phone. For your project, this choice matters above all if your teams use specific devices.
Native Android development is justified for applications intended for professional or rugged devices, such as barcode scanners, logistics equipment or hardware specific to an industry, as well as for hardware functions that have to be used as soon as they are released. For a consumer application with no need for specific hardware, one that will also have to exist on iOS, a version developed in Flutter often meets the objective better, with a single project covering both platforms.
Examples of Android applications we build when the field, the hardware or the number of devices calls for it.
We develop applications for logistics teams equipped with rugged devices, with barcode scanning, offline mode and automatic data upload as soon as the connection returns, for reliable use in the warehouse as much as on the road.
We develop sales and checkout applications for retail chains equipping their stores with Android tablets, connected to the catalogue and to stock levels, with an interface designed to move fast at the counter during peak hours.
We develop applications for home care teams equipped with Android smartphones, with offline access to patient records and automatic synchronisation as soon as they are back in an area covered by the network.
We develop training applications for mobile teams, with modules viewable on shared Android tablets, individual progress tracking and downloadable content for use when no network is available.
We develop internal applications for field teams equipped with consumer or professional Android smartphones, with report entry, photo upload and synchronisation with the business tools already in place.
We develop control applications for connected objects in the home, with direct access to the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi protocols specific to Android, for reliable control of the equipment installed at your end customers' homes.
We connect your Android applications to an API we develop in Node.js, to centralise accounts, data and notifications, with synchronisation designed for the frequent network outages encountered in the field. When a project also has to cover iOS, two paths open up: a native iOS application developed in parallel, or a shared base in Flutter, depending on the level of hardware access sought on each platform.
The technologies we work with
Click a technology to open its dedicated page.
We design and develop native Android applications in Kotlin, from functional scoping to publication on the Play Store: screen design, development, testing on several devices, then going live. This approach is aimed at projects that have to cover a wide fleet, from the consumer smartphone to rugged professional hardware.
Cross-platform is enough for most projects that have to cover iOS at the same time. Native is justified for professional or rugged devices, access to specific hardware, or very recent Android functions as soon as they reach the market.
An Android project is priced on quotation, after scoping that fixes the perimeter, the schedule and the priorities of the first version. The average lead time is 21 to 60 days before going live, against 60 days for a broader scope.
Six steps, from the first conversation to launch — and the support that follows. The process is the same for an e-commerce site or a mobile app; only the deliverables change.
We start from your objectives, not from a list of features. Scope, key user journeys, technical constraints and budget: everything is set down in writing before the first line of code. You know what you will get, when, and at what price.
You see your site or your app before it exists. We design every screen, test the user journeys and refine until navigation feels obvious. An interface approved at the design stage means development work that never goes to waste.
WordPress or WooCommerce for a site you manage yourself, Next.js for a platform, Flutter or Swift for a mobile app: the technology follows your need, never the other way round. We ship regular test builds so you can follow progress in real conditions.
Every build is tested on the browsers and devices your customers actually use: screen sizes, OS versions, unstable connections. We fix issues before your users run into them, not after they report them.
We handle the launch end to end: hosting, domain name, redirects in the case of a redesign, analytics tools — and store publication when the project is an app. Nothing is left on your plate on launch day.
A website, like an app, keeps evolving: security updates, version upgrades, new features as your feedback comes in. An optional annual plan covers monitoring and support work, and the code belongs to you in every case.

The questions company directors ask us most often before launching a native Android application with our agency.
The number of screens, the hardware functions involved and the variety of professional devices to support weigh the most on the price. Every project is priced on quotation, once your needs and the target device fleet have been specified during scoping. A project intended for rugged or professional devices often calls for testing on several additional models, work included in the quote as soon as the target fleet and the conditions of use in the field have been identified with you.
For a standard scope, allow 21 to 60 days between the first discussion and publication on the Play Store; a broader project, with several modules or extended compatibility across many models, calls for closer to 60 days. Development in Kotlin, testing on different devices and publication, generally faster on Google's side than on Apple's, take up most of that time. This estimate is refined as soon as the target device fleet is known, with some margin for the oldest models to be supported.
Cross-platform is enough for most Android projects and makes it possible to cover iOS at the same time without multiplying budgets. Native comes into its own when the application has to run on professional or rugged devices, use specific hardware such as a built-in scanner, or access a very recent Android function as soon as it is released. We frame this choice with you according to the actual device fleet targeted and the conditions of use in the field, never out of habit. Many projects in fact combine the two, with a native module targeted at the one screen that requires it.
Yes. The audit covers the Kotlin or Java code, how it is organised and its compatibility with recent versions of Android, as well as its actual behaviour on the device models your teams use day to day. This verification in the field matters particularly when the application has to run on professional or rugged devices, whose behaviour sometimes varies from one model to another. You then receive a costed and prioritised takeover plan, before any decision on your side.
On Android, an optional annual maintenance package can cover compatibility with new versions of the system, monitoring of the various device models used by your teams, as well as fixes and small developments; its price follows the actual scope of the project. The variety of the Android fleet makes this follow-up particularly useful, since one specific model may behave differently from another after a system update. You choose whether to take it or not: the code remains your property from delivery onwards in any case.
Yes, entirely, from delivery onwards: code repository, the Google developer account used for publication, the technical documentation needed to take the project over. Across a varied device fleet, this documentation also details the models tested and any specific adaptations, so that another team can take the project over without starting from scratch on the hardware compatibility already validated in the field. This ownership matters particularly for teams that already manage a professional fleet and want to keep the ability to develop the application without depending on our agency in the long run.
On Android, an application's visibility depends first on its Play Store listing rather than on classic Google search: title, description and visuals are worked on before each release, and we take care of that with you. For applications intended for field teams, this visibility often matters less than reliability across the device fleet actually in use, our concrete priority on this type of project. Your website's search visibility follows its own rules and remains a separate piece of work.
