Mobile software for the people who work outside the office.
Field technicians, warehouse operators, retail associates and inspectors do not work next to a wifi router. We engineer enterprise mobility solutions that keep working when the network drops, when the device is shared across shifts, and when the screen has been wiped with a greasy glove twelve times today.
What actually breaks in this space.
Field workforces on paper plus broken apps
Technicians fill paper forms in the field, type them at the depot, and email spreadsheets to the back office. Data lands in the ERP three days late.
Offline scenarios nobody designed for
The app works great in the office demo. On a basement service call with no signal, it loses the last hour of work and the technician stops trusting it.
Device fleets nobody is managing
Rugged handhelds running OS versions three years behind. Certificates that expired months ago. Nobody owns the device lifecycle.
Accessibility ignored until audit
Field apps that fail basic contrast checks. Screen reader support that was never tested. A lawsuit waiting to happen in regulated geographies.
Capabilities we bring to this industry.
Offline-first sync
CRDTs, resilient queues and conflict resolution engineered for real industrial networks. Users never lose work because wifi dropped.
Native and cross-platform
iOS in Swift, Android in Kotlin, React Native where the cross-platform tradeoff earns its place. Chosen per use case, not per template.
MDM and device lifecycle
Integration with Intune, Jamf, Workspace ONE and Android Enterprise. Zero-touch provisioning, remote wipe, certificate rotation.
Field workflow platforms
Work order management, inspections, asset capture, barcode and RFID scanning, camera AI, signature capture, offline media sync.
Shared-device patterns
Fast user switching, per-shift state, secure session handoff on devices shared across 20 operators a day.
Accessibility from day one
WCAG 2.2 AA conformance audited and signed off. Contrast, screen reader and one-handed operation tested on real devices.
Measured, not modeled.
Shapes these engagements usually take.
Field service app for 3,000 technicians
Offline-first work orders, asset capture, safety checklists and photo evidence with sync queues. Support tickets down 60% after rollout.
Warehouse operations on shared rugged devices
Kotlin app for scanning, picking and put-away with fast user switching across three shifts. Zero data loss on network drops.
Store associate app across 800 stores
React Native app for inventory lookup, clienteling and endless aisle ordering. MDM-managed, pushed and updated fleet-wide in one evening.
Tools and technologies we reach for here.
Common questions
- What enterprise mobility software does FictiveBox build?
- Offline-first sync, native and cross-platform mobile apps, MDM and device lifecycle management, field workflow platforms, shared-device patterns, and accessibility engineered in from the start.
- Why do field apps need a different approach?
- Field technicians, warehouse operators, retail associates and inspectors do not work next to a router. Apps have to keep working when the network drops, when a device is passed between shifts rather than owned by one person, and when the screen is being used with gloves.
- How is offline-first synchronisation handled?
- With sync queues and conflict resolution designed for real network conditions, using approaches such as CRDTs and a local SQLite store, so work done offline reconciles predictably rather than being lost or silently overwritten.
- Which mobility technologies are supported?
- Swift, Kotlin, React Native, TypeScript, CRDTs, SQLite, Intune, Jamf, OAuth/OIDC and OpenTelemetry.
