Mobile app development, built in Calgary.
SanshTech designs and develops custom mobile apps for Calgary businesses, startups, and product teams. We build iOS, Android, and cross-platform products for logistics, field operations, marketplaces, customer services, media platforms, and AI-enabled workflows.
From product planning and UX to backend development, integrations, App Store launch, and ongoing support, we handle the complete system behind the app.
A successful mobile product usually includes a complete business system.
Depending on the project, your app may also need APIs, a database, an admin dashboard, user roles, payments, notifications, reporting, analytics, or offline synchronization. It may also need to connect with tools you already use, such as QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft 365, ERP systems, mapping services, or existing APIs. That is why we start by understanding the business behind the app before deciding how it should be built.
Who will actually use it?
A truck driver, homeowner, field technician, dispatcher, athlete, and service provider all use software differently. We design the experience around what that user needs to accomplish and the environment they are using the app in.
What needs to happen behind the app?
A customer may simply see a booking screen, while the system behind it may include availability rules, payments, vendor assignment, notifications, cancellation logic, reporting, and an admin portal.
We plan those systems together so the mobile app and the operations behind it work smoothly.
Does the app need to work offline?
For transportation, construction, energy, inspections, and field operations, reliable internet access cannot always be assumed.
Offline-first functionality lets users keep viewing jobs, completing forms, capturing photos, and recording information, then sync when connectivity returns.
Do you need a downloadable mobile app?
Some products mainly involve forms, dashboards, or occasional browser access. A responsive web application can work well for those use cases.
Mobile apps are especially useful when GPS, camera access, push notifications, biometrics, offline operation, frequent mobile usage, or App Store and Google Play distribution create value for the user.
Different products need different architecture.
The right mobile product depends on the users, the workflow, the business model, and the systems the app needs to connect with.
Customer Apps
Apps that let customers manage accounts, book services, make payments, receive notifications, track orders, manage subscriptions, or interact directly with your business.
Marketplace Apps
Platforms connecting two or more groups of users, such as customers and service providers. These projects often need separate user experiences, scheduling, payments, payouts, reviews, verification, messaging, and admin controls.
Field Operations Apps
Mobile tools for employees working away from a desk. Common workflows include work orders, inspections, checklists, photos, signatures, equipment information, GPS, document capture, and offline sync.
Transportation & Logistics Apps
Mobile products for drivers, dispatchers, fleets, and logistics operations. Features may include routing, GPS, dispatch, documents, load management, proof of delivery, driver workflows, alerts, and TMS integrations.
Internal Business Apps
Employee-facing mobile tools for approvals, inventory, reporting, scheduling, communication, job management, or access to internal business systems.
Startup & SaaS Mobile Products
Mobile applications for new products and SaaS businesses, including MVP development, user accounts, subscriptions, analytics, scalable APIs, and ongoing feature development.
Real products built around real workflows.
These projects cover transportation, marketplace operations, service-provider workflows, sports and social experiences, and mobile broadcasting.
Load Navigator
Load Navigator is built around trucking workflows, combining route planning, GPS navigation, permit-related workflows, fleet tools, document handling, and AI-assisted functionality.
Capabilities include GPS navigation, routing, fleet workflows, AI-assisted document processing, alerts, and offline considerations.
JustChores
JustChores is the customer side of a services marketplace. Customers discover services, pick appointment times, manage addresses, book work, pay, and manage their bookings from mobile.
The platform includes scheduling logic, payments, job management, and backend infrastructure shared with the vendor app.
JustChores Vendor
The vendor app is designed around the service provider's day. Providers receive job requests, manage availability, accept work, update progress, verify completion, and track earnings.
Both JustChores apps run on one shared platform for payments, scheduling, notifications, and reporting, while each app is built around a different user's responsibilities.
Draftys
Draftys is a sports-focused platform built around athlete profiles, video content, discovery, search, and connections between athletes, coaches, and recruiters.
The product includes user-generated content, profiles, search, video experiences, and different account types.
BTV Broadcasting
BTV Broadcasting brings news, programming, and digital media content into a mobile experience.
The product focuses on content delivery, navigation, publishing workflows, performance, and ongoing updates.
Mobile workflows for teams working across the city and in the field.
Mobile products connect employees, customers, field teams, and office staff through one shared system, while giving each user the tools they need.
Transportation & Logistics
We built Load Navigator for trucking operators, combining routing, permits, documents, and fleet tools in one app. The same approach works for Calgary carriers coordinating drivers, loads, and paperwork.
A driver may need assigned work, route information, pickup details, documents, delivery instructions, GPS, photos, signatures, proof of delivery, status updates, and offline access.
The office uses a desktop dashboard to see drivers, jobs, delivery status, documents, billing information, and reporting.
HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical & Field Services
A field technician can run a whole job from one mobile workflow while at a customer's property.
The office manages scheduling, customers, employees, job status, and reporting from a browser-based system at the same time.
Camera access, GPS, push notifications, signatures, and offline mode make mobile especially useful for field-service teams.
Energy & Industrial Field Operations
Calgary energy and industrial teams often work far from an office and far from reliable signal.
A field app can support equipment inspections, checklists, photos, measurements, notes, safety information, asset records, and incident reporting.
When connectivity drops, information is captured on the device and synced securely once it reconnects.
Real Estate & Property Services
A property app might support listings, inspections, maintenance requests, tenant communication, document uploads, photos, signatures, bookings, and property records.
Agents, tenants, property managers, contractors, and building staff share one backend, and each sees only the tools relevant to their role.
Construction & Trades
Construction apps can handle site reports, check-ins, progress photos, inspections, safety documentation, job assignments, equipment tracking, timesheets, and change requests.
Speed matters on a job site. A clear workflow helps workers finish tasks quickly with fewer screens and less typing.
The technology should fit the product and the people using it.
The right approach depends on the features the app needs, how deeply it uses the device, which platforms it supports, and how the product is expected to grow.
Native iOS & Android
Native development suits products that need deep access to device capabilities, high performance, Bluetooth, background processes, advanced animations, or platform-specific features.
Each platform gets an app built specifically for its operating system.
Cross-Platform Apps
React Native and Flutter let most of the app's code be shared across iOS and Android.
This works well for marketplaces, customer apps, SaaS products, internal tools, and startup MVPs.
Progressive Web Apps
Some workflows can run as a browser-based product that behaves like an app across phones, tablets, and desktops.
PWAs work well for internal forms, dashboards, inspections, reporting, and employee tools.

Support covers OS updates, bug fixes, monitoring, performance improvements, integrations, new features, and future releases.
What does it cost to build a mobile app in Calgary?
Cost comes down to how many user types, features, and integrations the app needs, and how much system sits behind the mobile experience.
Scope comes first.
A focused MVP with one user type is a very different project from a marketplace with customers, vendors, payments, live tracking, and an admin platform.
Many products start with an MVP. You launch the core workflow, test it with real users, then add features based on how people actually use it.
After discovery, we give you a fixed quote based on the agreed scope.
