Questions you may have — answered clearly

Will the app track locations in real time without delays?

Yes, the app can track locations in real time with minimal delays if required. Based on our experience in location-based mobile app development, it all depends on your specific needs. If real-time accuracy is critical, we’ll implement solutions to minimize latency. However, if precise tracking isn’t essential, we can optimize the system to reduce costs and resource usage, ensuring the app meets your goals efficiently.

How will the app work in areas with poor internet?

During location-based app development, we can implement offline functionality, like downloadable maps and caching, to keep essential features running without the internet. Plus, we optimize the app to handle weak signals gracefully, ensuring it reconnects and updates smoothly when the network improves. Your users stay covered, even in tricky spots.

Can you ensure accurate geolocation features?

We leverage trusted geolocation services like Google Maps API and fine-tune them for accuracy. From location calibration to testing across different devices, we make sure the app delivers pinpoint accuracy. This ensures your users always get reliable data, whether navigating or finding nearby services.

Can you help us analyze location data for better decisions?

We integrate location-based analytics that lets you track patterns, user behaviors, and trends. From heatmaps to user journey insights, you’ll have the tools to make data-driven decisions. Whether it’s optimizing delivery routes or tailoring services, the app turns raw location data into actionable strategies.

How do you ensure the app meets our quality expectations?

We start location-based app development by thoroughly understanding your requirements, which ensures we align with your quality expectations from the start. With 11+ location-based projects delivered, we know what it takes to build reliable geolocation features like tracking, geofencing, and route optimization. Our engineers follow location-based app development services best practices and use proven tools to deliver precise results. Every feature is rigorously tested to ensure real-world accuracy and seamless functionality. You’ll have full access to our documentation, testing reports, and progress updates, allowing you to track quality at every step. This detailed, transparent approach helps us consistently meet your standards.

How do you ensure the app is delivered as promised?

We make sure expertise stays with you, not just with your logistics management software development company. Throughout the project, we provide detailed documentation, technical handovers, and knowledge-sharing sessions to ensure your team understands every critical detail. You’ll have full access to reports, code repositories, and process documentation at every stage. If needed, we provide training sessions and ongoing support to ensure your team feels confident managing and scaling the system independently. In short, there are no black boxes, no gatekeeping — just clear knowledge transfer and lasting expertise.

Will we have a stable team that understands our product?

Team stability is one of our strengths. Our engineers have an average tenure of 3.8 years — well above the industry’s 2.5-year average — and we achieved a low churn rate of 5.5% in 2023. For long-term projects, this means you get dedicated team members who truly understand your product and code. We maintain this retention by creating a positive work environment, offering competitive salaries, and encouraging continuous learning to keep our engineers motivated and engaged. Even if new members join, our structured onboarding ensures they’re up to speed quickly, keeping your project on track without interruptions. Stability you can count on.

Will we be able to manage outsourced code internally?

We ensure you have complete understanding and control over the code through detailed documentation and knowledge transfer. Our team provides clear, well-structured code with inline comments for easy readability. We also create product guides tailored to your team’s needs and offer hands-on knowledge transfer sessions. You’ll have full access to repositories, pull request comments, and real-time progress tracking throughout development. This approach ensures your team can seamlessly take over maintenance and continue building on the foundation we provide.

Will language differences impact communication?

Not at all. Almost 98% of our clients are from the US and UK, and they consistently find our English skills clear, professional, and easy to work with. Our team is experienced in collaborating with international clients, ensuring seamless communication through well-defined channels, regular updates, and quick responses. Language won’t be a barrier — it’ll be a bridge.

Will we have intellectual property rights to the product?

Yes, you will retain full intellectual property (IP) ownership of the product. From the very beginning, we establish clear agreements to ensure all rights are transferred to you upon project completion. There are no hidden clauses or surprises — your product is entirely yours, ready for you to control and expand as needed.

Will we have full rights to the software you build?

Yes, you’ll have full ownership of your product’s intellectual property. From day one, it’s clear: everything we build for you belongs to you. We formalize this in our contracts, ensuring there’s no ambiguity or hidden clauses. Once the project is delivered, you’ll have complete control over the source code, documentation, and all related assets.

Given the situation in Ukraine, can you guarantee stability?

Despite the challenges in Ukraine, we’ve built a resilient and distributed team to ensure continuity and reliable delivery. With team members located across different regions, we minimize risks and maintain seamless operations. Our average engineer tenure of 3.8 years and a low churn rate of 5.5% in 2023 mean your project benefits from experienced, dedicated team members. We’ve also equipped our team with backup power, secure remote setups, and reliable communication tools. Stability and consistency are what you can count on, proven across 200+ successful projects.

How do you prevent budget overruns during the project?

We use a detailed, data-driven approach to provide accurate estimates for location-based application development projects from the start. By closely monitoring the Cost Performance Index (CPI) and tracking actuals versus planned costs, we ensure spending stays aligned with your budget. Weekly reports give you clear visibility into progress and expenses, and only approved work is invoiced — no surprises. If changes arise, we promptly inform you, discuss their impact, and adjust the plan together. This transparency and proactive management keep your budget predictable and your project on track.
