Enterprise Mobile App Development Company
Enterprise mobile app development that fits how your field teams actually work.
Consumer app development is about acquisition and engagement. Enterprise mobile app development is about a different set of problems, authentication against your identity provider, data sync with your ERP, offline functionality for field workers, role-based access control, and MDM compatibility.
We build enterprise mobile apps for field operations, internal tools, workforce management, and customer-facing enterprise platforms, with the security, integration depth, and reliability that enterprise environments require.
Native iOS and Android and React Native cross-platform enterprise apps
ERP, CRM, HRIS, and identity provider integration built as core requirements

The clipboard that was still running the field team.
A field crew logs every inspection on paper, then someone keys it into the ERP that evening, a day late and a transcription error richer. A rep pulls up customer history on a consumer note-taking app that IT never approved. An employee needs one number from a system that was never given a mobile screen, so they wait until they are back at a desk.
None of them lack software. They lack software that authenticates against the identity provider, syncs to the ERP, and works where the signal drops. So the workaround becomes the process.
Enterprise mobile removes the workaround. The record is captured once, on a phone, and it is in the system before the crew leaves the site.
Most consumer app frameworks and processes do not translate directly to enterprise. The architecture decisions that matter most, offline sync strategy, authentication flow, data security in transit and at rest, and backend integration design, have to be made correctly at the start. They are expensive to retrofit.
Gartner projects that by 2025, 70% of new enterprise applications will be built with an API-first approach, a shift that reflects how central integration has become to enterprise mobile strategy. For field operations, workforce management, and customer-facing enterprise apps, the ability to sync reliably with ERP, HRIS, and identity providers is not a feature. It is the foundation.
RaftLabs has shipped production software since 2015, including mobile apps across iOS, Android, and cross-platform, for clients across the US, UK, Europe, Canada, and the UAE. Named clients include Vodafone, T-Mobile, Aldi, Nike, Cisco, and Lockheed Martin, and our work is rated 4.9/5 on Clutch. We shipped a tablet-based field training platform for 5,000+ pharmaceutical staff and hybrid-work collaboration apps for distributed teams. One team scopes the workflow, builds the app, integrates it into your systems, and hands it over.

Enterprise mobile pays off when the workflow already has systems behind it.
Everything on the left should already be true for your operation. Even one thing on the right, and a configured off-the-shelf app is the smarter first step.
A fit
01
Field teams or a mobile workforce running critical workflows that need enterprise controls, not a consumer app.
02
Systems to integrate against: ERP, CRM, HRIS, or an identity provider with SSO.
03
Budget for a project from $40,000, plus IT requirements (MDM, compliance) that off-the-shelf apps can't meet.
Not a fit
- A simple consumer app with no backend integration or enterprise security layer.
- No existing systems to connect to, and no identity provider in place.
- Shopping for the cheapest hourly team rather than a fixed-scope partner.
What we build
What we build
- 01Field operations appsMobile apps engineered for the conditions field workers actually operate in: limited connectivity, gloved hands, and workflows that must produce an auditable record. Inspection tools, work orders, asset tracking, and GPS-stamped submissions run offline-first on WatermelonDB and SQLite, storing every action locally and syncing when connectivity returns, with QR and NFC scanning built in. City Break Apartments' field app, 580+ active users and 72+ weekly check-ins, runs on this architecture.
- 02Workforce and HR appsMobile workforce apps for the HR and operational workflows employees and managers need on the go: shift scheduling with self-service swaps, geofenced clock-in, leave requests, and training delivery with completion tracking. Integration with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, BambooHR, and payroll keeps time and attendance data flowing automatically. We shipped a hybrid-work collaboration platform for distributed teams and a training platform for 5,000+ pharmaceutical representatives.
- 03Enterprise CRM and sales appsMobile CRM and sales enablement apps that give field sales teams the information and tools they need at the moment of a customer visit, without a laptop. Real-time sync with Salesforce and HubSpot keeps contact, account, and deal data current, with offline access to customer history and pricing for visits in poor connectivity, plus quote generation, in-app contract signing through DocuSign or Adobe Sign, and activity logging synced automatically without manual data entry after the meeting.
- 04Internal tools and dashboardsMobile versions of the internal tools and dashboards your leadership and operations teams currently access only on desktop. Approval workflows offer one-tap approve or reject, role-based views scale detail by seniority, and CodePush over-the-air updates ship non-native fixes without waiting on app store review cycles.
- 05Customer-facing enterprise appsMobile apps that give your enterprise clients self-service access to their account, service requests, and usage data, cutting inbound volume to your account management team. Client portals cover invoices, contracts, support tickets, and usage reporting, integrated with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, or ServiceNow, with white-labeled builds shipping under the client's own App Store account and end users authenticating through their own corporate identity over OIDC.
- 06Security, SSO, and MDM integrationEnterprise security requirements built into the architecture from the first sprint, not retrofitted after IT review. SSO through SAML 2.0 or OIDC ties access to your identity provider, Azure AD or Okta, so it is revoked automatically when an employee leaves, with certificate pinning, encryption at rest and in transit, and biometric authentication for sensitive operations. MDM integration with Intune and JAMF Pro enables remote wipe and policy enforcement without an app update.
We scope compliance in week 1, not before launch. We have shipped HIPAA-compliant mobile systems for US healthcare clients and GDPR-compliant apps for European markets, with MDM compatibility for Intune, JAMF, and Workspace ONE built into the architecture rather than patched in at the end.
These are the failure modes that break enterprise mobile projects late, so we plan around them from the first sprint:
- Offline sync conflicts
- When two field users edit the same record offline, last-write-wins quietly loses data. We define conflict rules per workflow during discovery, not after a user reports a missing inspection.
- MDM and app-store friction
- Managed app config, certificate-based auth, and per-tenant App Store accounts add review cycles most timelines ignore. We provision MDM with Intune or JAMF on launch day, not after IT flags it.
- Identity-provider edge cases
- SSO works in the demo and breaks on the first employee with a stale token or a nested Azure AD group. We test SAML and OIDC against your real directory, including offboarding revocation, before internal release.

How it works
From scope to a validated v1
Every enterprise mobile project follows the same four phases, landing a validated v1 in 14 to 20 weeks. Scope is locked and price is fixed before development starts, then you extend the app from there.
- Week 101
Discovery and scope
We map the workflow, the user roles, the backend systems, and the security requirements. You leave week 1 with a written scope document covering integration points, offline requirements, MDM compatibility, and a fixed-price quote. No development starts without your sign-off.
- Weeks 2-302
Design and architecture
Wireframes and information architecture before production code. Authentication flow, data sync strategy, and offline storage decisions made here cost ten times less than the same decisions made in week 8. The spec is locked before the build starts.
- Weeks 4-1603
Build, integrate, and QA
Working app on a staging build by the end of sprint one. Bi-weekly demos with your team. QA runs in parallel with every sprint, including real-device testing on BrowserStack across iOS and Android. Security and MDM compatibility validated before internal release.
- Weeks 17-2004
Launch the v1, then extend
Production deployment with App Store or Play Store submission handled by our team. MDM configuration and enterprise provisioning completed on launch day. The v1 ships the core workflow and security layer; further integrations and platforms follow on your roadmap. 8 weeks of post-launch support included in every project.

01 / 02
We scope every project before pricing it. Where you land depends on scope, not negotiation:
- Single platform, $40,000-$90,000
- One platform, iOS or Android, a core workflow, and integration with one backend system.
- Cross-platform with integrations, $90,000-$220,000
- Cross-platform iOS and Android, multiple backend integrations, offline capability, and complex role-based access control.
What it costs
Starting at $40,000, scoped before development starts.
Platform choice, integrations, offline requirements, and the enterprise security layer, all scoped and priced before a line of code.
Starts at $40,000
Most teams launch a validated v1 in 14 to 20 weeks. Start with the core platform and security layer, then add integrations as your roadmap calls for them.
Scope the first release, ship it, then extend the app with new integrations and platforms once the foundation is live.
No hourly billing
Once we scope your first release, that price is locked in writing. No hourly billing, no change fees added without your sign-off.
One team, start to finish
The team that scopes your enterprise mobile problem is the team that builds it. No offshore handoff after the contract is signed. The people you meet in week 1 are in the code in week 14.

Consumer apps focus on acquisition, engagement, and retention. Enterprise apps focus on reliability, security, integration, and compliance. Enterprise mobile apps must authenticate against your corporate identity provider (SSO via SAML or OIDC), integrate with backend systems (ERP, CRM, HRIS) that weren't designed with mobile APIs, enforce role-based access so each user sees only what their role permits, work reliably in environments with poor connectivity (offline mode with sync), and meet your IT department's MDM and security requirements. These constraints shape the architecture before a line of code is written.
Both, depending on your requirements. Native iOS and Android gives the best performance and access to device APIs, important for apps that use the camera, biometrics, Bluetooth, or complex animations. React Native gives you a single codebase for both platforms, reducing build time and maintenance cost, appropriate for most enterprise apps where performance requirements are moderate and feature parity across platforms matters more than platform-specific optimization. We recommend the right approach based on your use case, device fleet, and timeline.
Enterprise mobile apps must integrate with your existing identity infrastructure. We implement SSO via SAML 2.0 or OIDC, integrating with Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, and other identity providers. Role-based access control (RBAC) is implemented at the app layer, with roles defined in your identity provider and enforced in the app. For apps deployed through MDM platforms (Intune, JAMF, VMware Workspace ONE), we build the app to meet MDM requirements including certificate-based authentication and managed app configuration.
Yes, and for field operations it's typically a requirement rather than a nice-to-have. Offline capability means the app stores the data required for the user's workflow locally, allows them to complete their tasks without network connectivity, queues changes for sync, and resolves conflicts when connectivity returns. The complexity of offline support depends on the workflow, a read-only reference app is simpler than an app that captures and submits data, which in turn is simpler than an app where multiple users may modify the same record offline. We scope offline requirements during discovery.
A focused enterprise mobile app, single platform (iOS or Android), core workflow, and integration with one backend system, typically runs $40,000-$90,000. Cross-platform apps with multiple backend integrations, offline capability, and complex RBAC run $90,000-$220,000. Cost depends on platform choice, number of integrations, offline requirements, and the complexity of the enterprise security layer. We scope every project before pricing it.
Yes. We sign mutual NDAs before any discovery or scoping conversation. For enterprise clients in regulated industries such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals, we also sign BAAs and data processing agreements where required. Your IP, architecture decisions, and business logic remain entirely yours.
We have shipped enterprise mobile apps for pharmaceutical field operations, logistics and delivery, property and hospitality, SaaS workforce management, and healthcare. We have delivered apps in the US, UK, Europe, Canada, and the UAE. If your industry has specific compliance requirements (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA 21 CFR Part 11), we scope those in week 1, not as an afterthought.
