Our Clients Say

Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.

We're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.

We specialise in technically complex projects, including AI app development, advanced integrations, data-heavy systems, and software that needs to perform reliably as usage grows. Whether you need a mobile app, a web application, an online portal, or a broader digital platform, we help you cut through the noise, choose the right approach, and move forward with clarity.

Frequently Asked App Development Questions

Here are answers to common questions we receive about our app development and quoting process:

Are your app developers based in the UK?

Yes. Scorchsoft is a UK-based app development company with an in-house team of developers, designers, and project specialists based in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. Because our team is employed directly by us rather than outsourced, we retain strong in-house capability across app development, planning, design, testing, and delivery.

Do you work on enterprise software projects as well as startup projects?

Yes. Although we work with startups and growing businesses, we also support enterprise software projects and have experience working on technically demanding solutions for larger organisations. That includes work involving large telecoms companies, big data projects such as vehicle telematics, and other complex software initiatives where scalability, reliability, integration, and structured delivery really matter. We also recognise that enterprise customers often need a different approach, so we offer different processes and ways of working depending on the scale, governance, risk profile, and operational needs of the organisation.

Can you work with startups that only have budget for a small number of sprints?

Yes. We have options available for businesses that only need a smaller number of sprints, so if you think your project only needs a handful but you still want to do it properly, please get in touch. We can talk through your goals, help you decide what is realistic for your budget, and recommend the most sensible way to use that time to create meaningful progress.

Can Scorchsoft help with AI app development?

Yes, absolutely. AI is one of our specialist areas, and we have built apps, portals, and software tools that use AI to solve real business problems. That includes AI-powered features such as intelligent text editing, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, image generation, automation workflows, AI agents, and telephone agents. We focus on applying AI where it creates measurable value rather than adding it for the sake of it.

Why choose Scorchsoft over another app development company?

Scorchsoft is a strong fit for businesses that need more than a basic build. We specialise in technically complex app development, AI-powered software, integrations, scalable platforms, large data sets, and solutions that need to work reliably as they grow. We support both startups and larger organisations, and we offer flexible ways of working, including our velocity sprints model for projects that need to move quickly. In short, we combine technical depth, commercial awareness, and delivery structure in a way that helps ambitious projects succeed.

I have a rough idea of what I want, but I am not fully sure where to start. Can you still help?

Yes. Many clients come to us with a business problem, an idea, or a rough vision rather than a fully defined specification. If that sounds like you, the best next step is usually to book a free strategy call with our team. We can have a practical conversation about your goals, your idea, likely options, and whether we think we can help, without forcing you into a fully scoped engagement before you are ready.

Can you give me a ballpark quote or a fixed-price quote?

Yes. We will usually try to provide a ballpark estimate as early as possible so you can sense-check whether your idea is commercially viable. We also offer a range of ways of working, including approaches that prioritise speed, flexibility, or greater cost certainty. The right route depends on how defined your requirements are, what level of control you want over cost, and how quickly you want to move.

Can you build apps for both iOS and Android?

Yes, in most cases. We regularly build mobile apps for both iOS and Android, and if you already have a preferred technology, we are happy to discuss that with you. Where clients ask what we commonly use, we often build cross-platform apps using Flutter or React Native on top of Expo, although in some cases we may recommend a different approach depending on the requirements, performance needs, and long-term goals of the project.

Do you only build mobile apps, or do you build other types of software too?

We build a wide range of software solutions, not just mobile apps. Our team develops web applications, online portals, SaaS platforms, AI-powered tools, internal systems, and bespoke desktop software as well as iOS and Android apps. We have also delivered desktop software, including Python desktop applications, where that is the right fit for the problem being solved.

Can you integrate with our existing systems, website, CRM, or other software?

Yes, we have extensive experience integrating apps and software with third-party systems, APIs, CRMs, payment providers, databases, legacy platforms, and other business tools. The first step is usually to understand what you want to achieve and assess whether the systems involved are compatible with the outcome you need. If we believe we are a good fit, we will say so. If we do not think we can support what you need, we will be honest about that and, where possible, try to point you in the right direction.

Do you provide ongoing support, maintenance, and updates after launch?

Yes. We offer a range of ongoing support and maintenance options to suit different types of customer, from smaller businesses through to larger organisations with more demanding operational needs. That can include SLA-based support, different levels of monitoring, proactive maintenance, regular platform reviews, quarterly checks, security testing, penetration testing, remedial support, and retained product development time. We can tailor the level of service depending on whether you need baseline cover, proactive technical oversight, or an ongoing development partnership.

Will we own the source code and intellectual property?

That will always be made clear in the service offering. In many bespoke development projects, clients want appropriate ownership or licensing rights in the software created for them, and we can support that. In other cases, where a solution benefits from our existing products, frameworks, or intellectual property, a licensing model may make more sense. The right structure depends on the nature of the solution you want and how much you want us to lean on our existing IP to accelerate delivery.

Need help with a project or want to discuss your idea?

If you would like to explore an app idea, AI project, portal, SaaS platform, or another software challenge, please get in touch or book a free strategy call with our team. We will listen to what you are trying to achieve, give you practical guidance, and help you understand the most sensible next step.
