Custom software, an iOS app, or a better setup of what you already own?
The task decides the platform. How I compare an existing tool, a small custom web layer, and a native iOS build, plus the cost of owning each one.

- A working day tells me more than a feature list
- A vendor demo is only useful on the awkward cases
- Sometimes the custom part should stay small
- The customer and the technician may need different interfaces
- Offline work deserves its own prototype
- The work nobody sees in the mockup still has to be owned
- Compare ownership costs, not just quotes
- Test the requirement most likely to change our minds
- The decision should come with the conditions that would reverse it

A 20-minute scoping call: what you have, what is breaking, and what a fixed-scope build would look like. If it is not a fit, you will know by the end of the call.
