Let customers book and buy
Take bookings, orders and payments in one place. Customers can check availability, make a purchase and receive updates without calling your team.
App development
Let customers book, pay and use your service from their phone. Give staff a practical tool for work away from a desk. Jolt builds the app and the systems behind it, then handles launch, marketing and ongoing support.
Experience with business-critical systems
Our enterprise work includes a California banking platform: reviewing threats, addressing security risks, replacing inherited services and preparing audit evidence and recovery plans.
For a major construction company, we built a custom operations platform covering field work, inventory, 3D site scanning and health and safety, connected to Procore and Sage.

Looking after your system after launch
Your customers and staff need to know their information is handled carefully. We work with you to decide who should have access, protect the data the system holds, and test the sensitive parts before launch.
We also handle the hosting and ongoing upkeep. That includes watching for problems, keeping backups and agreeing what happens if something goes wrong. You know who to contact and what support is covered.
As the business grows, the system needs to keep up. We test the busy parts, plan for more users and orders, and explain the cost of increasing capacity before you need it.
What could an app do for your business?
Put your service in their pocket
Give customers access to their account, membership or content. Help them find nearby services, follow an order or return to your business when they need you.
Make work easier for your team
Replace paper forms and scattered messages with a shared tool. Staff can record site visits, upload photos and update job status from their phone.
Keep your information connected
Connect the app to your customer records, stock or scheduling system so your team does not have to enter the same information twice. Control who can see or change it.
Industry research & examples
Give customers a reason to come back
Useful service comes first
McKinsey’s 2017 research found that 70% of app users preferred additional functionality to appearance. The business question is still useful: what can a customer do in the app that saves them time? We build around those tasks, then measure completed bookings, purchases or staff jobs rather than downloads alone.

In its Q1 2024 earnings call, Starbucks reported that Mobile Order & Pay had exceeded 30% of US transactions. An app can become part of how a business takes orders, rather than just a marketing channel. For your project, we connect the customer journey to fulfilment, payment and staff tools so the operation can support it.

Product launch and marketing
Explore marketing servicesThe launch needs its own plan. Alongside development, Jolt can help define the audience and product message, then produce the content used to introduce the app. That includes creator-led video and campaign material for organic and paid channels.
We test different messages and creative approaches to learn what reaches the right audience. For Requestival, our work covered both the streaming platform and its marketing. Product delivery and the launch can be managed within the same project.
Working with Jolt
Start with the business problem, the people who will use the app and the systems it needs to work with. We use that conversation to define a practical first release and prepare a proposal.
Talk to Jolt about your project- Scope, budget and progress
- The proposal sets out the work, estimated cost, dependencies and delivery stages. You review designs and working software during development. Changes to the agreed scope are discussed before additional work begins.
- Your app and the systems behind it
- The work can cover iPhone, Android and web, customer accounts, payments and staff tools. We review your existing software early to establish what can connect and what needs to change.
- Data, access and handover
- We agree who can access customer and company data, which outside services are involved and what must be tested before release. Source-code access, ownership and documentation are set out in the project agreement.
- Launch and ongoing support
- We handle app-store submissions and deployment. Maintenance can include updates, monitoring and fixes. Support coverage, responsibilities and running costs are agreed before launch.
