Cross-Platform App Development
One codebase for iOS and Android — when that is genuinely the right trade.
React Native and Flutter let one team ship both platforms from one codebase, which is often the right call and sometimes not. We will tell you which case you are in. Where cross-platform fits, you get both stores from a single build pipeline and a single set of business logic to maintain against your ERP.

Notre processus
Decide the approach
A short assessment of your workflows, hardware and team against both options, with a written recommendation you can disagree with.
Set up one pipeline
A single build and release pipeline produces both store artefacts, so a release is one action rather than two.
Build shared, branch where needed
Shared business logic and ERP integration, with platform-specific code isolated where the platforms genuinely differ.
Release to both stores
Submission, review and staged rollout on Apple and Google together.
Avantages clés
One codebase, two stores
Business logic, ERP integration and screens are written once, which is where most of the maintenance cost sits.
An honest recommendation
Heavy camera work, tight hardware integration or demanding graphics still favour native. We say so before you commit, not after.
Faster to a working pilot
A single team reaching both platforms usually reaches a testable build sooner, which matters most when the workflow is still being proven.
Native where needed
Cross-platform does not mean never native — platform-specific modules are written natively and bridged when a feature demands it.

Questions fréquentes
Is cross-platform slower than native?
For typical business workflows — forms, lists, scanning, approvals — the difference is not something users notice. It becomes noticeable in graphics-heavy or continuous-camera work, which is exactly where we would recommend native instead.
Which do you recommend, React Native or Flutter?
It depends on your team. If you have JavaScript or TypeScript people who will maintain this after handover, React Native usually wins on that ground alone. Flutter is the stronger choice for a highly custom interface.
Can we start cross-platform and go native later?
Yes, and keeping that option open is worth designing for. A clean separation between business logic and interface means the logic survives the move.
