The operating software behind the business.

Custom web and mobile applications for a team that has outgrown spreadsheets, manual steps and tools that don't talk to each other. Shipped in milestones, so something useful is running before the roadmap gets heavy.

First usable milestone in 4 to 8 weeks · web + iOS on one data model · scoped and shipped by the same people

Transcription Studio on iPhone: a finished transcript with each speaker labeled and timestamped.
Villain Arc on iPhone: the trends dashboard showing weight, sleep, resting heart rate and workout volume over time.
Villain Arc and Transcription Studio. Both designed and built by FCT.
The shift

When the spreadsheet becomes the bottleneck.

Workarounds hold up until they don't. The fix isn't a bigger spreadsheet. It's a system your team can rely on every day.

Running on workarounds
  • Critical data spread across sheets and DMs
  • The same manual steps, redone every day
  • No single source of truth anyone trusts
  • Mistakes that only surface after they cost something
Running on a system
  • One reliable place the team works from
  • The repetitive steps handled by the software
  • Roles, permissions, and a real data model underneath
  • Built to extend as the business grows
What we build

The full product system.

Screens, backend, data model and integrations, designed so the web dashboard and the mobile app share one set of rules instead of two.

Internal dashboards

The single screen your team runs the day from: orders, jobs, status, the numbers that matter.

Customer portals

Logins, accounts, and self-serve flows so customers do what they used to call or email about.

iOS & mobile apps

Native companion apps that share one data model with the web: no duplicated logic.

Backends & APIs

Sign-in, permissions, the data model, and the connections to the tools you already use.

How it ships

Milestones, not a mystery.

Each milestone has clear scope and acceptance criteria, so delivery is predictable and something useful lands early.

  1. 01

    Scope the workflows

    We map who uses it and the workflows that cost the most time, and define the first milestone.

  2. 02

    Ship a usable slice

    The first milestone is something real your team can use. Not a roadmap, a working tool.

  3. 03

    Expand on evidence

    Each milestone has clear scope and acceptance criteria, so the product grows with proof, not assumptions.

  4. 04

    Keep it moving

    Each milestone lands with documentation for the workflows and the decisions behind them, so the next feature starts from a running system.

FAQ

Web & mobile builds, answered

01 What does the Web & Mobile Applications service cover end to end?

The whole product: the screens your team uses, the backend behind them, the data model, and the connections to the tools you already run. FCT builds internal dashboards, customer portals, native iOS apps, and the backends and APIs behind them, with sign-in, permissions and the data model included. Delivery is in milestones. The first one is a usable slice your team can actually run, not a roadmap, and most first milestones land in four to eight weeks depending on how complex the workflows are and how many outside systems are involved. iOS work is native SwiftUI, sharing one data model with the web so a business rule is written once and applies everywhere. The people who scope the work are the people who ship it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff. When milestones are paid, the source code and project IP transfer to you, with documentation for the workflows and the decisions behind them.

02 How fast can a team see usable product milestones?

Most first milestones land in four to eight weeks, depending on scope and how many outside systems the app connects to. FCT builds the core flows first, the ones that cost your team the most time, then expands in controlled phases. The first milestone is something real your team can use, not a slide deck or a wireframe, so you learn from real use early and avoid an oversized first build. Each milestone has clear scope and acceptance criteria, which keeps delivery predictable and prevents hidden rework. Because the product grows on evidence instead of assumptions, you can confirm it is worth building before the deeper layers get built. A marketing site moves faster, usually two to four weeks. A full platform with a database, sign-in and integrations runs longer. Either way, you are never waiting months with nothing to test.

03 Can one build support both a web app and an iOS app?

Yes. FCT designs one data model and one clean API, so a web dashboard and a native iOS app run on the same business logic without duplicating it. The iOS side is built natively in SwiftUI, with SwiftData for storage and App Intents for Siri and Shortcuts. The web side uses the same backend API. That keeps behavior consistent between what your customers see and what your team sees, and it lowers long-term maintenance, because a rule written once applies everywhere. Most first milestones land in four to eight weeks, and mobile and web grow in coordinated phases rather than as two projects that drift apart. Sharing the data model also speeds delivery, because the data layer and the integrations are built once, and a new platform later starts from the same rules.

04 How do you keep larger builds from drifting over budget?

Every milestone gets clear scope, acceptance criteria and a decision checkpoint before the next phase starts. The workflows that remove the most friction get built first, then the product expands in phases, so it grows with evidence instead of assumptions. That structure keeps delivery predictable and prevents the hidden rework that blows up timelines. Revisions inside agreed scope are handled within their milestone. When new requirements surface, FCT documents the change, estimates the impact, and gets your approval before adding it, so scope creep is a decision you make rather than a surprise you discover. Most first milestones land in four to eight weeks. Because the architecture stays with the people who designed it, there is no junior pass quietly adding cost.
