App development

Field service app development for trades and engineers

Yes, Brightray builds field service apps that give engineers their jobs, schedule, on-site forms, photos and sign-off in one place, on iOS and Android. It is a bespoke build quoted per project after a quick scope, usually live in about 8 to 12 weeks plus app-store review, and it is built to work in vans, plant rooms and lofts where the signal drops.

What you get

Everything, as standard.

Whatever the budget, these aren’t extras. They’re the baseline for anything that leaves the studio.

Designed for you

No off-the-shelf themes. Your site is designed around your business, your customers and what you actually need it to do.

Built for phones first

Most of your visitors arrive on a mobile. Your site is designed for the small screen first, and looks sharp everywhere else.

Found on Google

Sensible titles, descriptions and structure, plus your Google Business Profile set up properly so local customers find you.

Fast by default

No bloated page-builders. Lean, hand-written pages that load in a blink — which Google rewards and visitors notice.

Plain-English support

One person, direct contact, no ticket queues. Questions answered in language you don’t need a translator for.

WhatsApp built in

Every enquiry can go straight to your phone by WhatsApp — customers message you in one tap. Standard in every package.

Pricing

Simple, upfront pricing.

Agreed before any work starts. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay.

Questions

Asked and answered.

How much does a field service app cost and how long does it take?+

It is quoted per project after a scope, because price depends on your job workflow, the forms you use and any back-office system to connect to. Most builds run about 8 to 12 weeks plus app-store review.

Will it work with no signal on site?+

Yes — engineers can open jobs, fill in forms, take photos and capture signatures completely offline, and everything syncs the moment they get signal back. That offline-first design is essential for basements, lofts and rural sites where mobile coverage is poor.
