App development · Dallas, TX

App development for Dallas companies

You've promised the business a launch date, and the app has to read customers and orders from systems your team doesn't own. One senior team designs and builds the app and the integration layer under it, and ships on the date. Around Dallas that's the customer app for a headquarters in Legacy West or Plano, and a restaurant chain's ordering app or a field crew's app for a contractor in Irving.

Serving

Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving

Dallas and Fort Worth hold one of the densest headquarters concentrations in the country, weighted towards telecom, banking, insurance and the logistics that follow a central location. If you're one of them, you own a large estate already, and that estate decides which AI use cases will work.

TechFabric is a Databricks partner with an award-winning Databricks engineering team, 80 of them Databricks-certified, and a Temporal partner. Where a system reaches past the workspace we build on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

What app development covers

iOS and Android

A shared codebase where it suits the product and native where it does not. It is a per-product decision rather than a house position, and anyone who answers it before hearing what the app does is telling you about themselves.

Web apps

The browser half of the same product, built to be changed safely years after the original team has moved on. Tests that mean something, seams where the business logic can move, a deployment nobody is afraid of.

The backend and API

Built with the app rather than found afterwards. Where you already have an API we will work with it and say plainly if it is the reason the app will feel slow.

Offline behaviour and sync

Decided deliberately at the start. A field app that has to work in a warehouse with no signal is a different design from one that assumes a connection, and retrofitting the difference means rewriting the data layer.

Release and store submission

Staged rollout so a bad build reaches a few hundred people rather than everyone, and the App Store and Play Store process including the rejections, which arrive for reasons that have nothing to do with code quality.

Keeping it alive

Two OS releases a year, certificates that expire while somebody is on holiday, and store policies that change. We stay on a maintenance footing or hand over with the provisioning and the release process written down.

Every acquisition brought its own customer

Dallas-Fort Worth is where large companies put a headquarters, Toyota's North American one in Plano and McKesson's in Irving among them, and a headquarters estate is rarely one system. It's a decade of acquisitions and reorganisations, each bringing a CRM, a billing platform or a warehouse with its own idea of a customer. In our view the risk sits in the seams, where a failure is usually an integration failure under another name.

The common response is another integration layer that copies data in every direction and hopes the copies agree. They won't. We'd settle one question before writing code, which system is allowed to write each record, and have every other system read from it or subscribe to its changes. An estate with two writers for the same customer is an estate that disagrees with itself.

We'd draw every system that touches the customer and the order, who writes to each, and where the copies diverge today, measured on real records instead of guessed at. That map then decides what gets retired, what gets wrapped behind an API, and which single piece we'd build first.

Clients we have done this for

Orders processed rose 100% and accounts grew 29% after LOSExpress, SWBC's lending platform for credit unions, was rebuilt from the user experience and design system through to the front-end architecture. Loan officers spent half as long on each order, the measure a bank or insurer running a lending platform for many institutions would judge its own by.

SWBCSWBC

Credit union loan officers quote and book vehicle protection in SWBC's LOSExpress alongside a member's auto loan, but quoting was slow and new staff took too long to learn it. After gathering feedback from SWBC's staff and customers, our engineers and designers rebuilt one of its modules as a single-page application on a new design system. Orders processed doubled, and each loan officer now spends half as long on an order.

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    A technical conversation

    Not a sales call. An engineer, asking what the app has to do, who uses it, what it talks to and what has been tried. Product and design people join the same conversation where the work needs them.

  2. 02

    Two weeks, fixed fee

    A short assessment ending in a written plan with a scope, a sequence and a number, including the decisions that are cheap now and expensive later. You own the document whether or not you carry on with us.

  3. 03

    Build with your team in the repo

    App, backend and release process together, senior throughout. The person in your standup is the person writing the code.

  4. 04

    Ship, and keep shipping

    Staged rollout, store submission, and either a maintenance footing with us or a handover with the provisioning and release process written down. The handover version only works if it was planned before launch.

Two weeks, fixed fee, and a written plan whether or not you build it with us.

Tell an engineer what you want to build

A senior engineer reads it and replies within one business day, usually with the questions that decide the first two weeks.

A sentence or two is plenty, such as what it should do and what stands in the way today.

Goes straight to a senior engineer. By sending this you agree we can contact you about your enquiry, and occasionally about our work. Tell us to stop at any time and we will.

Around Dallas

Flutter build nights up the Tollway

GDG Frisco runs hands-on build nights several times a month in Frisco and Plano, and this year's included building AI-powered Flutter apps. GDG Dallas covers Firebase, Flutter and Gemini in talks and round tables, usually in North Dallas, and the Dallas Software Developers Group makes room for mobile on its monthly programme at Yum!'s office in Plano.

If your app is the front of a headquarters' customer and order systems, the screens are the small part of the estimate. Flutter and Firebase get a working app on a phone quickly, which is what the Frisco build nights demonstrate week after week, and the harder question is who owns the API between that app and the systems behind it, and what the app does when one of them is down.

FAQ

App development in Dallas: common questions

Do you work with Dallas companies?

Yes, and with companies across the United States. Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so we are one hour behind you from November to March and two hours behind from March to November. A morning standup on your clock is still early afternoon on ours.

Do you have an office in Dallas?

The office is in Gilbert, Arizona, with teams in Amsterdam, Dnipro and Hyderabad. Delivery is remote or hybrid, and we travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build.

We have systems from four acquisitions. Can you work with that?

That is most of what the work is. The first question is which system is allowed to write, because an estate with several answers to that is an estate that disagrees with itself. We would rather read what exists and tell you honestly what is worth keeping.

Native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform for most business applications, native where the product depends on something the platform does specifically. It is a per-product decision, and we will say which we think applies once we have heard what the app does.

Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?

Yes, including the rejections. First submissions get rejected for reasons that have nothing to do with code quality, and knowing which ones are coming is most of what makes a launch date real.
