App Development Partner for Australian Companies

App Development Partner for Australian Companies

We build mobile and connected-product apps for Australian teams in fitness, IoT, EV, and healthcare. Apps that work beyond demo conditions – with real devices, real connectivity, and real edge cases. Not as a contractor. As a partner who stays for the full roadmap.

Why Australian Teams Choose Us?

  • We've already delivered for Australian product teams

    Finding a strong technical partner in Australia is hard. Most companies look offshore, then spend weeks explaining local context and adjusting expectations. We've already delivered for STEPR, ForceUSA, and ZUUP. No learning curve. No guesswork about how Australian product teams work.

  • Time zones work in your favor

    We've set up our processes so your evening in Sydney or Melbourne overlaps with our morning in Europe. You get updates before your day starts. Questions don't sit unanswered for 24 hours. It's not a workaround, it's how we've been running Australian projects for over 9 years

  • We build for real conditions, not demo setups

    Your app connects to hardware, works over BLE, or runs on an embedded screen, and it needs to handle edge cases: unstable connections, firmware mismatches, offline scenarios, OTA updates outside app stores. We've built products that live in the physical world, not just on a test device over perfect Wi-Fi.

How We Support Australian Teams

1

Cloud and CDN configured for Australia

We set up infrastructure so your app and backend respond fast for users in Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane – not routed through US or Frankfurt servers. Lower latency, better experience.

2

R&D Tax Incentive support

We've helped Australian clients document their projects for R&D Tax Incentives. If you're eligible, we know what's needed and can support the process.

3

Hardware prototype logistics sorted

Need to send us a physical device for integration work? We've done this before – whether it ships from Sydney, Brisbane, or elsewhere. We handle the logistics so you don't waste time on customs and freight.

4

Embedded Android and kiosk UX

If your product has an embedded screen – device console, charging station panel, kiosk – we design for those constraints: touch-first UI, async data flows, firmware differences, and update paths that don't rely on app stores.

5

UX decisions based on real user data

We use session recordings and analytics to find where users drop off or get stuck. UX changes are based on behavior patterns, not guesses, which means better retention, fewer support tickets.

6

React Native speed with native quality

We ship fast with React Native, but we go deeper when needed. BLE integration, OTA updates, performance-critical features – we write native modules in Kotlin or Swift and integrate them without breaking the codebase.

Stormotion Engineers + Your Team

One or more of our engineers join your existing team – same tools, same sprints, same standups. They work directly with your PM or tech lead and ship alongside your in-house developers.

Typical use cases:

  • Your roadmap is full but hiring takes too long
  • You need React Native or mobile expertise your current team doesn't have
  • You're building a connected product and need engineers who understand BLE and device integration

Standalone Stormotion Team

A dedicated team (frontend, backend, QA, and PM) that operates independently and delivers against your specs. You stay involved at the product level; we handle execution.

Typical use cases:

  • You're replacing a vendor who created chaos or stopped delivering
  • You're launching a hardware product and need a full team to build the companion app
  • You want a mobile product without building an in-house team

Why Australian Companies Stay With Us

Contact us
  • 3.2 Years of partnership

    We don't do short handoffs. Most clients stay because the work keeps going: new features, new platforms, new products.

  • 3.7 years engineer tenure

    The team you start with is the team you keep. No constant re-onboarding, no knowledge gaps mid-project.

  • We send corporate gifts to Australia

    Timezone difference doesn't mean you're working with a faceless offshore vendor.

FAQ

How do you handle the timezone difference with Australian teams?

Our working hours overlap with your evening in Sydney or Melbourne. We schedule syncs, demos, and planning calls during this window. Async updates happen daily – you see progress before your workday starts. Questions don't sit for 24 hours. We've worked with Australian teams for years, so this isn't a workaround, it's how we operate by default.

What if we don't have detailed specs, but just an idea?

That's normal. We run a discovery phase to turn your idea into a concrete plan: user flows, technical scope, architecture direction, and a prioritized backlog. You'll walk away with a phased roadmap and realistic budget. Discovery typically takes 2-4 weeks and gives you everything needed to decide whether to move forward.

How long does it take to start working together?

Typically 1-2 weeks from signed agreement to project kick-off. That includes team allocation, access setup, and an onboarding call to align on tools, communication, and first priorities. If you need embedded engineers for an existing team, we can often start within a week.

How do you estimate project cost and timeline?

We break the scope into phases and estimate each one separately. For new products, we recommend starting with discovery. This gives you a detailed backlog with time and cost estimates before committing to full development. For ongoing work, we estimate in 2-week sprints with clear results.

How long does it typically take to build an MVP?

Most MVPs take 3-5 months, depending on complexity. A simple app with standard features sits on the shorter timeline. Apps with connectivity, custom integrations, or subscription logic take longer. After discovery, we'll give you a specific timeline with milestones.

What's your experience in fitness, IoT, EV, and healthcare?

We've built apps for fitness equipment brands (STEPR, ForceUSA), EV charging platforms (ZUUP), wearable-connected wellness products, and healthcare tools. This means we understand domain-specific problems: workout tracking, BLE device pairing, charging session flows, and health data privacy requirements. You won't need to explain industry basics.

What's your experience with BLE, OTA updates, and embedded devices?

We've shipped multiple apps that connect to hardware over BLE – fitness machines, wearables, EV chargers. We handle connection stability, offline sync, firmware version differences, and OTA updates outside app stores. If your product has an embedded Android screen or custom update flow, we've built for those constraints too.

How do you ensure architecture won't need a rewrite in a year?

We design for where your product is going, not just the first release. That means modular code structure, clear separation between features, and technology choices that scale. We also document architecture decisions so future teams, ours or yours, understand why things were built a certain way.

Can you take over an app from another vendor?

Yes. We start with a code audit to understand what we're working with: architecture, tech debt, test coverage, and quick wins. Then we offer a path – stabilize and improve, or rebuild specific parts. We've taken over apps from other vendors and turned them into stable products.

Can you replace our OEM or white-label app and migrate existing users?

Yes. We build a custom app with your brand, your features, and your analytics, and then plan the migration. That includes transferring user accounts, subscription data, and usage history where possible. We'll work with your OEM provider's API or data export to make the switch as smooth as possible for existing users.

How do your engineers integrate with our existing team?

They join your tools, like Slack, Jira, Linear, GitHub, or whatever you use. They attend your standups, follow your sprint cadence, and report to your PM or tech lead. From your team's perspective, they're not external, they're part of the crew, just in a different timezone.

How much direction do your engineers need day-to-day?

Minimal. Our engineers are senior and take ownership of their work. Give them clear goals and context, and they'll figure out how to get there. They'll ask questions when needed, flag blockers early, and ship without waiting for step-by-step instructions. Your product lead can focus on direction, not micromanagement.

What happens after the app launches?

We stick around. Post-launch typically includes bug fixes, performance monitoring, OS compatibility updates, and iterating based on real user feedback. Most clients continue with either a maintenance agreement or ongoing feature development. We don't disappear after release, because that's when the real product work starts.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do. All code, designs, and documentation belong to you from day one. We work in your repositories, and you have full access throughout the project. If we part ways, you walk away with everything. No licensing fees, no lock-in.

Can you help with R&D Tax Incentive documentation?

Yes. We've supported Australian clients with R&D Tax Incentive applications before. We can provide technical documentation, time logs, and descriptions of eligible R&D activities in the format your accountant or advisor needs. We know what qualifies and how to present it.

What if we need to ship you a hardware prototype for integration?

We've done this before – from Sydney, Brisbane, and elsewhere. We'll guide you on packaging and shipping options, handle customs paperwork on our end, and confirm receipt. Once we have the device, integration work starts immediately. Logistics won't slow down your project.
