Mobile application development

Mobile application development gives you an unbeatable way of creating engaging customer experiences with a wow effect. Apps allow you to seamlessly participate in your customers’ daily lives and important moments, as time spent on mobile keeps being on the rise.

Digital everyday life in Finland in 2022

Mobile apps bring your offering and brand to the channel your customers already enjoy using. Mobile apps can accommodate unique features using smartphones’ device qualities, e.g. location tracking and push notifications, that are not possible to replicate in other types of digital services.

Personalisation for identified customers, easy mobile payments, building loyalty, and combining online and offline are only some examples of how you can offer a superior experience to your customers. Operating systems like iOS and Android also have their own exclusive advantages.

What you need to develop a successful mobile application

Business insight

Sufficient intelligence regarding the business in question – you need a clear vision of what the mobile service is needed for and how it generates value

Technology

In-depth understanding of mobile application development – such as
different mobile technologies and languages – to choose your approach. This understanding might not come from one expert.

Design

Ability to gather research data about the target market, build a concept with the needed customer journeys – and test your concept with that target market.

Goals

Clear KPIs for success and a way to keep track of them – without clear goals, data collection and data analysis you won’t be able to tell if you succeeded or not

How to set and track goals for your mobile app?

Your app’s goals depend on its lifecycle stage, operating environment and domain. Most importantly, they depend on its function for business and the value the app creates for the end customer.

Is your goal to improve customer service, to acquire new customers, to sell additional services or to personalise your offering for each customer? Ultimately, your company’s strategy guides the choices for your mobile app. 

Prioritisation is especially important in mobile product development, because the screen is small. By filling your app with tons of features and high hopes you end up jeopardising the user experience and return on investment, as resources are not allocated efficiently. Smart design, accessibility and well-specified customer journeys, for one, ensure your app is built in a cost-efficient manner.
