Enterprise Cross Platform Application Development
A mixed device estate is the strongest argument for a shared codebase there is. It is also where the enterprise requirements bite hardest, on both platforms at once.
- Typical duration
- Seven to sixteen months
- Team shape
- Three to six senior engineers
- Starts with
- A four-week diagnostic

Two platforms, one policy, and both have to satisfy IT
An internal app on a mixed estate has to enrol into device management on Android and iOS, authenticate against one directory on both, and produce one audit trail regardless of what the record was created on. The shared codebase makes that consistent. It does not make it automatic.
The enterprise surfaces — enrolment, SSO, managed configuration, distribution — sit closest to the platform, which means they are also the parts most likely to need native code. So this engagement starts by drawing the boundary with IT in the room rather than only the business, because the deployment constraints determine how much can honestly be shared.
What usually goes wrong, and what we do instead
Enterprise cross-platform projects fail on deployment, and they fail on both platforms differently.
Where these projects get stuck
- Device management discovered after the boundary is drawn, not before
- SSO working on one platform and subtly broken on the other
- Audit records that differ depending on which device created them
- Managed configuration handled natively on one side and not the other
- Distribution designed for a public store when it should never be public
How we build it instead
- IT and security in the room before the shared and native line is drawn
- One identity integration, verified on both platforms from the first slice
- One audit schema, so a record does not reveal what created it
- Managed configuration read through one interface on both sides
- Managed distribution to enrolled devices, built in the first month
What we build
The surfaces an internal app needs before IT will deploy it to a mixed estate.
Device management on both platforms
Enrolment, managed configuration and policy across the MDM your organisation already runs.
Single sign-on
One SAML or OIDC integration against your directory, verified on both platforms from the first slice.
Offline operations
One sync contract and one conflict rule per record, implemented once for the whole estate.
Unified audit trail
One schema, so who did what and when reads the same regardless of the device it came from.
Line-of-business integration
The systems the process depends on, integrated once on agreed record ownership.
Managed distribution
One pipeline releasing to enrolled devices on both platforms, rather than to a public listing.
What you end up with
Stated from your side rather than ours.
One app for a mixed estate
Staff on either platform get the same product and the same process, which is usually the point of the exercise.
One audit trail, not two
A single schema means compliance questions have one answer rather than one per platform to reconcile.
One team, one release
A policy change is implemented once and reaches both platforms in the same release rather than in two.
An app IT will actually deploy
Enrolment, policy and distribution were designed with them from week one, on both platforms at once.
How the build runs
The same five stages as every engagement, applied to a shared codebase the business runs on.
Diagnose
The device estate, the working environment, and what IT and security require on each platform.
Decide
The shared and native boundary, the identity model and the audit scope, written down with their trade-offs.
Prove
One workflow on an enrolled device of each platform, in the place it will be used, offline and back.
Deliver
Features built in slices, each deployed to a pilot group on both platforms before the next is scoped.
Hand over
Your team ships a release to the estate with us watching, then without us.
What we build it with
Chosen for what an app has to prove before it can be deployed to a mixed estate.

What you get, and when
Handed over as it is produced, not assembled at the end.
- The device estate and the enrolment approach, agreed with IT
- The shared and native boundary, with the enterprise surfaces placed
- The audit scope and the retention policy it has to satisfy
- Source in repositories you own
- One pipeline distributing to enrolled devices on both platforms
- Pilot releases on both platforms from the first slice
- One audit schema, verified identical across platforms
- Access review evidence and a device-loss procedure
- A rollout runbook your team has used on a pilot group
The rest of our cross-platform work
Shared-codebase engagements overlap more than most. These are the neighbouring ones.
Where we have built this
Sectors where staff carry whatever they were issued and the process has to be the same regardless.

HRMS
Workforce systems built around how organisations actually operate.
We build and improve workforce platforms spanning recruitment, onboarding, employee management, attendance, operational workflows, reporting, and integrations, reducing friction across the employee lifecycle.

Healthcare
Technology that connects complex care and operational workflows.
We help build digital healthcare platforms, operational workflows, integrations, and data-driven applications designed around reliability, secure information handling, usability, and the realities of interconnected healthcare systems.

Food & Travel
Digital experiences that keep customers and operations moving.
We build customer journeys and operational platforms around ordering, booking, marketplaces, partner integrations, administration, and real-time workflows where experience and operational efficiency need to work together.

Fintech & BFSI
Secure, reliable systems for businesses built on trust.
We build and modernize financial platforms, workflows, integrations, and customer-facing applications where reliability, data integrity, auditability, security, and performance are fundamental to the business.

Questions about enterprise cross-platform
The ones we are asked most often before a first conversation.
Can a shared codebase really meet enterprise requirements?
Will it work with our device management platform?
How do we know the audit trail is the same on both?
Can you meet our compliance requirements?
Does it have to go through public app stores?
Our estate is one platform. Should we still do this?
Mixed estate that needs one app?
Tell us what your staff carry and what IT requires. We will tell you where the shared and native line should sit.
