Frequently Asked Questions

Healthcare solutions vary greatly. Any software used for wellbeing, patient monitoring and treatment, and health data processing belongs to healthcare software.

A few examples:

CareAware Connect – support and maintain teamwork. Patient information is available from one central device for clinic staff.

mClinic – manage appointments by providing tools for scheduling, prescription management, payments, etc.

IsabelPro – match symptoms and test results to diseases.

Medisafe – a ‘virtual’ pillbox alerting users each time they must take medicine.

Aetna Health app – let users manage their healthcare plans on the go, find doctors, compare costs, etc.

Healthcare providers benefit from multiple software. The most common types of healthcare apps include:

• Appointment management software
• Health records and patient data management software
• Telehealth apps
• AI-based analytical tools
• IoT devices for remote monitoring
• Data administration and management systems
• AR/VR apps for learning and education

If you do not see your target platform on the list, please, contact us to find out if we can help you.

It depends. Before we start, we conduct a code review for your healthcare application. When the code quality is high, we are happy to proceed with further development services.

However, in some cases, it is worth starting anew to avoid critical bugs and/or ensure software consistency.

We have weekly or daily Zoom and Skype calls between the client and the PM/lead developers. Frequency depends on the scope, timeline, and complexity.

We use different management software (Jira, Redmine, Asana, and more) to track project progress and time expenditure. We use Slack for internal messaging. If there is any software you want to use on the healthcare project, we can apply it to our workflow.

Notable logistics software solutions for small businesses include:

• Shippo
• Zoho Creator
• AscendTMS
• MyRouteOnline
• OptimoRoute
• 3PL Warehouse Manager

Off-the-shelf transport and logistics software must reflect your business processes. Square peg in a round hole doesn’t work. If you have extra time and tolerance for headaches and heartaches when things don’t work well, go for it. It’s your call.
If you plan to grow and expand, you need custom logistics software development.

Logistics software helps companies organize, run, record, monitor, and manage processes such as material, information, and human flow. Transport and logistics software optimizes costs and makes accurate inventory possible.

Logistics software solutions can be implemented as:

• stand-alone desktop software
• internal solutions accessible from company’s own intranet
• SaaS solution available globally via Internet connection

The three main activities include:

• Order processing Receive and manage client orders; keep clients updated on their order status. Order processing automation systems drastically decrease order-cycle time.
• Inventory management Keep finished products or their components ready to sell, manufacture, or transport. Inventory management software keeps supplies based on your choice before reordering. This decreases your overall costs.
• Freight transportation Transporting products and/or components to their destination point consumes two-thirds of total logistics costs. Transport logistics software optimizes transportation costs and improves efficiency of customer service.

Your customers matter. Constantly keep them in mind during transportation software development. If there are recurring requests or issues, include solutions for them on your list of requirements.

Use the following steps for successful transportation software development:

• Carry out a survey on your end-users’ needs.
• Analyze survey results and make a list of requirements.
• Reduce your list of requirements to essential, core features.
• Design a user path or ask for help from experts.
• Develop source code for your transport logistics software.
• Launch soon (apply to cross-platform development when possible).
• Ensure users can easily leave feedback.
• Improve the app based on user feedback.

Logistics solutions vary based on what problems users need to solve.
Main logistics software types include:

• CRM (Customer relationship management) – track customer interactions.
• Inventory management – track supply levels.
• Warehouse management software – track and analyze operations, monitor item location in the warehouse.
• Transportation and fleet management – manage company shipments, vehicles, and drivers.
• Supplier management – organize and track interactions with vendors and suppliers.
• Demand planning – manage plans and forecast customer demands based on collected data.
• On-demand transport logistics software – receive and efficiently manage orders from end clients.

Custom eLearning means a course is developed tailoring to the needs of a certain audience to specific content.

A tailor-made course fits in best with the aims and learning habits of a narrow, target audience and helps them progress faster than taking a “general” learning course.

It all depends on complexity. Complex projects take more time needed to build and launch a website.

Here are some numbers for your reflection based on Eastern-European hourly rate ($50):

simple ecommerce store requires 160 – 300 h starting at $8,000 – $15,000.
medium complexity store requires 800 – 1,300 h starting at $40,000 – $65,000.
Large online store requires 1,500+ h starting at $75,000.

It depends on project complexity.

For small, fixed-price projects, we usually charge 50% of the project cost upfront. The rest is due after project launch. For big projects, we charge by milestones.

Yes, this is what we always do. We can help you launch a mobile app, turn your website into a Progressive Web App or provide responsive design looking awesome on all screen sizes.

On-demand apps directly connect customers with service providers. As a business owner, you need on-demand app development to increase your availability and transparency for your customers.

As a startup, you can improve user experience in a specific market niche or multiple niches (e.g., start on-demand delivery app development for eco food delivery).

Cost depends on the size of your feature list.

Based on a $50 – $55 hourly rate (average rate of in Central/Eastern Europe), costs start at:

• $20,000 for a simple app
• $70,000 for medium complexity
• $100,000 for a complex solution

Costs of on-demand app development can skyrocket to $200,000 and higher if rapid user growth is anticipated after the app launch and a robust backend is required.

IT Craft can handle the entire technical part of your on-demand app.

You get experienced developers that go beyond fulfilling requirements. They work out why you need those required features and how they can best deliver them.

You get high-quality software on time and budget.

This depends on project requirements and complexity.

For simple projects with clear requirements, a fixed-price model is possible. The clients pay 50% of the agreed total at the start of the project. The remaining 50% is due when the app is launched.

For complex projects, the time-and-material model applies.
Client pays after each Sprint based on the scope of work completed.

The following timelines apply to on-demand app development services, depending on type and complexity of a planned solution:

Indoor mapping is the process of creating digital representations for indoor spaces. It is crucial for indoor location tracking. A precise digital map of a floor makes it possible to locate users and objects, create routes, and navigate users through buildings.

An indoor navigation system is a complex piece of software that requires integration of several technologies and fine-tuning to different user devices.
Indoor navigation development includes several steps:

• analysis of facility and choice of technological stack (beacons, geofencing)
• purchase of beacons and/or subscriptions for navigation engines
• iOS/Android indoor location tracking app
• development of a location tracking app for wearables
• development of Web admin panel
• venue mapping
• installation of beacons
• tuning and adjustment
• beta-testing
• launch for wide audience

Indoor positioning apps collect user data on user movement inside the facility. This data is then displayed via heat maps or diagrams. They determine user behavior inside buildings thus helping optimize facility management.

Indoor positioning systems can be also used for object tracking, e.g., inside warehouses or hospitals, helping optimize flow, monitoring costly equipment, and preventing theft.

This all depends on the required feature list. A basic feature list costs between $30,000 and $350,000-plus regular subscriptions for indoor navigation engines and costs of BLE beacons.

Briefly, a smartphone detects signals from three beacons. It uses the strength of beacon signals to determine position. Geofencing helps create facility maps and specify location. Smartphone motion sensors help track user movements.

For asset tracking, beacon tags actively transmit signals that gateways detect. Gateways detect signal strength and send the data to the server. The server calculates position and sends it to the user app. Geofencing helps precise location and determine the area from which assets cannot leave.

iBeacon is a special protocol designed by Apple Inc. It is used on small transmitting devices called BLE beacons.
iBeacon helps with the following:

• Indoor positioning and step-by-step navigation
• Tracking solutions
• Promoting products and services
• Improving in-store experience
• Automation solutions

Yes and no.

Yes, an iBeacon is just a small device that periodically transmits signals into an environment.

No, such signal transmission makes little sense. A smartphone can neither recognize nor use it. End users need to install and launch a native app. Plus, to start action after receiving a signal, they must have Bluetooth turned on.

Both Android and iOS support iBeacon detection.
If you are concerned that users might ignore your app, try iOS 14 App Clips to demonstrate the core functionality of your app at a glance.

Beacons are small, inexpensive, low-powered devices equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

Beacons broadcast signals. Beacon signals contain unique ID numbers which a smartphone app can recognize and use for navigation. Smartphones with relevant apps and Bluetooth are turned on to pick up these signals when they are near.

Beacons can also trigger events and send proximity-based notifications with relevant content to user devices. For instance, when people pass by a restaurant, they receive a notification about daily specials.

iBeacons are relatively cheap devices.
Kontakt Anchor Beacons 2 cost $117 for the pack of three.
Estimote sells its Proximity Beacon at €140 ($150) for four units in a kit.
Beaconic offers 4 iBeacons Retail Kit for €89 ($95).
Heavy-duty beacons or beacons with various sensors onboard cost more.
Three is the minimum number of a pack due to the triangulation effect. All manufacturers offer large-order discounts.

The biggest challenge of iBeacon app development is making measuring as precise as possible.
iBeacon signals might:

• Have issues with Wi-Fi interference because both use the same frequencies.
• Incorrectly display when beacons toggle.
• Lose contact with the user's smartphone due to unexpected, moving obstacles.
• Lack of precision in open spaces and large places without walls (e.g., parking garage).

The following actions help increase signal precision:

• Switch to a channel with different frequencies.
• Ensure optimal hanging height and density of iBeacons.
• Tune signal strength and range.
• Develop a hybrid positioning system that uses geofencing and iBeacons.

Custom trading software development takes:

• 3 - 5 months for an MVP
• up to 8 months for a complex solution.
It all depends on your list of requirements.

An important note here. Focus on quality when building a trading platform. Do not cut corners.
When you must launch earlier, it’s possible. Discuss with your team what functionality you can include in further releases.

The choice is always yours, who you trust with your project.

React Native is used to deliver cross-platform apps to mobile devices (Android, iOS) without compromising app quality. Development team can reuse the same JavaScript code base for all platforms.

Yes, you can save up to 35% when starting React Native app development. Developers use the same code base for both Android and iOS apps. Also, the source code can be partially used to launch a Web app.

Cost depends on detailed scope of work needed to launch an app:

$10,000 – $16,500 for a prototype.
$40,000 – $71,500 for a simple MVP app.
$75,000 – $220,000 for a fully functional app.

Costs can skyrocket if the app requires heavy custom back-end development.

The key benefits from using React Native for app development include:

• Native-like performance
• Fast app development
• Easy integration of third-party modules
• Improved UI
• Fast after-launch updates

Yes, we do. After the app has been launched, you enjoy a post-launch guarantee period. It lasts 1 – 3 months, depending on the project size. The same team helps you maintain and update the app. The costs of app maintenance depend on the number of hours developers spend on the project. Usually, it takes 10 – 15 % from initial development costs per year.

Angular is an open-source framework (not a library!) that uses MVVM pattern as a basis for dynamic, single-page web applications. Created by Google and backed by a large community, it is centered on delivering a perfect dynamic user experience.

With its help, our Angular development services company can launch apps on any level of complexity and easily maintain them.

Yes, it is good for web development. A perfect fit when you want both design and development to start almost simultaneously. Multiple tools and a large ecosystem decrease development time.

Moreover, Angular runs efficiently in all browser environments, even in rare browsers.

Consider the following reasons:

Boosted development cycle – coherent structure and multiple templates save hours on basic works.
Extensibility – there is a large ecosystem with available components, plugins, testing tools, etc.
TypeScript – one of the most popular programming languages today. It will be easy to find and hire developers for a project with the required skill set.
RxJS – with help from the Reactive Extension for Javascript (RxJS) library, developers can effectively produce asynchronous and callback-based source code. The app can handle several operations simultaneously.
RxJS makes complex logic possible.
Lazy load – thanks to NgModules, Angular app loads components as they are required by users. This improves app performance.

Yes, it is a great fit for building scalable apps due to its component-based architecture, two-way data binding, and rendering.

Among others, the following companies rely on it:

• Google
• Nike
• PayPal
• Sony
• Microsoft
• Autodesk
• The Guardian

React is an open-source library for building high-performing, reusable user interface components for SPAs (single-page applications).

It is responsible for the “View” part in the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture. Users can see changes without having to refresh their website each time those changes appear.

It empowers a more structured approach to front-end development on a project. React.js app development services make it possible to facilitate maintenance of once-created source code and achieve a perfect combination of productive workflow with a lightweight-size app.

Yes, it is. It remains among the top three front-end frameworks / libraries. Just to list a few benefits:

• SEO friendliness
• Plain learning curve
• Large community support
• Reusable components
• Code stability

Any kind of web project. For instance, experience of our React.js development company includes delivery of:

• e-commerce solutions
• planners, calculators, and configurators
• trade platforms
• on-demand apps
• online marketplaces
• custom social networks
and more

React is equally well-suited for both simple and complex web apps. When your company starts small and expands over time, your app can keep pace with you-source code does not become redundant and can withstand increased workloads.

You can build a highly responsive app that opens on mobile devices using React.
There’s more: React Native. With the help of React Native, you can get your web app converted into a mobile app. This is far more efficient than starting native mobile app development from scratch.

React.js is a front-end component. Being responsible for the “View” part in the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, it displays any changes to users without having them refresh their website each time those changes appear.
There is more: this library can be coupled with many back-end frameworks e.g., Node.js, Elixir, or Django.

Here are some approximate costs for iPhone application development services based on Central/Eastern European hourly rates $50 – $55:

Basic app costs range from $20,000 – $30,000
Average app costs range from $70,,000 – $126,000
Complex app costs range from $100,000+

Costs depend on what you want and when you want it.
This is true for any app.
If you want an estimate, contact us to schedule a call with one of our managers. (Yes, it’s free. No commitment from you whatsoever.)

Details determine costs. So, an upfront answer on costs of iOS app development is not possible. Provide our company with the specific details of the feature; we will provide you with an answer.

1) If we have developed your app, determining the cost of an added feature takes little time—just send us the details and we will send you an estimate.

2) If your app was developed by another company, we start with code inspection to ensure the existing codebase meets industry standards. We estimate the scope of work needed to design and integrate new features.

Please note that for the sake of ensuring you get a high-quality app, code inspection takes time. Depending on the size and complexity of the code, it could take up to 40 hours

Time taken to develop an iOS app depends on the app feature list. Scope of iPhone application development services provided varies greatly from app to app.

A minimum timeline might look something like this:

a) Simple proof-of-concept requires 160+ working hours.
b) MVP takes 450+ working hours.
c) Fully functional app requires 1,000 working hours.

If you want more precise numbers, request a free quote. No obligation. I want a free quote

Yes, absolutely.
Apple’s App Store has strict rules for app publishing. These rules are challenging. The app review process is stringent and time-consuming. The app review process might end up with a ‘fail’. To avoid any hassle for you, we send all required materials for app review. This helps our clients pass the review fast.

If you prefer doing it on your own, we provide you with the entire package of materials.

We check in with you at least once a week. More often, if you wish.
It depends on the nature of a project. Some projects require only one short weekly call. Other projects require daily updates between the project manager and product owner to discuss deliverables and plan for the next day.

This is why IT Craft assigns a project manager who maintains communication best suited for you.

You have access to the project in management software (Jira, Asana, Trello, etc.). You can see what has been done, what is being done, and what is planned to be done. You always know what is happening on your project.

Yes, we do. This is also a part of our iOS application development services.

Some bugs can only be uncovered after the app goes live because users love to find bugs! Because of this well-known fact, we give every client a guarantee period. The guarantee period lasts from one to three months, depending on project complexity and scope provided. During this time, we fix bugs (if any) in our source code at no additional cost. We keep our promises to you.

It’s easy. Fill out our contact form describing your idea or ask for an introductory Skype call. You will hear from us within one working day. It’s free. NO obligation to you at all.

We are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before any discussion starts ensuring all your secrets remain completely safe with us.

To start, you write your list of requirements and a feature list giving us the needed information to prepare a free estimate for you. The greater the detail you describe, the more precise the estimate we can provide.

When you like what you see and we start Android development, you stay in close touch with your dedicated project manager and development team. You make regular weekly-or if you prefer-daily calls with the team to ensure timely decisions on your project.

Our company uses different technological stacks for different purposes. Our services include hybrid, cross-platform, or native stack.
It all depends on your budget, requirements, and the nature of the app.

• Hybrid apps take less time to develop but tend to operate more slowly. (Quick to build, slow to run.)
• Cross-platform Android application development is used where the same code base needs to be maintained for several platforms.
• Native apps operate the fastest but require considerable effort in development. (Slow to build, quick to run.)

If you are unsure which technology best suits your needs, contact us. Together we will figure it out. No cost. No obligation.

This depends on the scope of work needed.
Apps can be roughly divided into three categories:

• 1 – 2 months: a simple app with basic design, 1 – 2 easy actions, <8 screens.
• 4+ months: medium complexity apps with several functions, customized design, integrations, >10 screens.
• 6+ months: complex apps with different integrations, admin panel, fully custom design, and multiple screens.

Absolutely! This specific Android app development service is included.
To shorten the timeline, you will need:

• $25 for a Google Play developer account
• an app icon
• a long and short description of your app
• YouTube video for your app
• link to your website
• privacy policy (mandatory when your app needs access to user data, smartphone sensors or camera)

Yes, our Android app development services cover app maintenance.
Choose the maintenance model that best suits your needs and budget:

1. A dedicated team to address any issues immediately and avoid costly delays.
2. Contact us on an “as-needed basis”.

The former has a higher upfront cost. The latter, a higher cost in time and delays.
Choose the best option for you. Whatever works for you, works for us.
When you anticipate adding several new features or a series of improvements, consider hiring a dedicated team to work solely on your app. Otherwise, there might be a delay because developer(s) are fully booked on other projects.
Book ahead to avoid disappointment.

There is no best platform. The app can be launched using Ionic, React Native, Flutter, or even a Native platform. It depends on specific app requirements, planned integrations, availability of source code, etc.

Cross-platform code is source code that is developed using a non-native language (e.g., C#). This code is then either translated into native code or executed via a built-in runtime machine.

Usually, app maintenance costs 15% – 20% of initial cross-platform app development costs.

Maintenance service costs depend on the quality of produced source code, availability of project documentation, and amount of technical debt. Costs tend to increase when the product owner fails to update app technologies.

Unfortunately, there is no upfront answer. A specific amount depends on complexity of planned functionality and quality of the app source code. To provide a correct estimate, it is necessary to do a discovery stage.

Two options are possible depending on the project size and detailed requirements.

For a small project with clear scope, a fixed-price model is possible. The client pays 50% of project costs upfront. The rest is due after the app launch.

For mid-size and large projects with no definite scope of work, the client pays by milestones based on the scope of work done on the project.
