MakoLab has given me a high-quality team that is forward-thinking and happy to change when problems or opportunities arise, I cannot think of a better company to be working on the launch of Brewers Eye with.

Key facts from our way of working
What to expect from MakoLab?
Performance, usability, content - you name it, we’ll deliver. However, a great user experience is just the beginning.
Unlike software houses, we also keep an eye on promoting and optimising the app, using the potential of blended Creative, Mobile and Conversion teams.
This is done in cooperation with you - our Customer, as your team, has the domain knowledge - all specifics connected with your business domain and user tasks at hand.
The blend of skills from both sides creates synergy and fuels creative ideas for product development.

1
Always a step ahead: both with technology and understanding users
We follow latest trends and releases in software, new capabilities in phones and devices, so that you don’t have to. Also, we invest heavily in user research, experiments and testing, so that your app uses the full potential of discoveries about irrationality in human decision making. In this way we add value to your app ideas, both enhancing them and validating assumptions.
2
Project management suited to your needs
You don’t need to hold a Product Owner certificate to work with us. We just ask for your time and availability for communication, so that we can get the job done on time. As a software house that started in 1999, we have experience with both Waterfall and Agile methods. We believe that our project management and way of working need to fit your organisation and needs.
3
Enterprise grade quality - our daily bread & butter
We have developed and implement our own QA Automation Framework, supporting the ISO 27001 for information safety certificate. In this way, Makolab with 300 employees on board is a great partner for peace of mind with compliance, performance and security issues.
More users, more features, more conversions
Launching the app is just the beginning. Once the app is there it’s time for fighting for visibility and conversion on the app stores. Also, it’s great to understand how your users behave inside the app - where and why they drop off. This is easier when framework such as the conversion loop appears. It makes it possible to both iteratively grow the market for the app and introduce releases of new features.

How long does the mobile app development process take?
In most cases, a minimum of one month is required to create a Proof of Concept. Three months are needed for a launchable MVP.
How long does it take to set a project up and start working on it?
It typically takes anything between one and three months to set up a fully cross-functional team including the technical architect, UX/UI designers, developers, QA officer and agile project manager. If time is of the essence, we can always start faster with a smaller team and accelerate the development by ramping up in the subsequent months.
Do you provide an SLA/maintenance for mobile apps?
Yes. We offer a choice of service plans. Two levels of support are available.
Do you provide audits or optimisation of existing apps?
Yes. We provide comprehensive audits covering usability, performance, scalability and security. We also provide recommendations and create roadmaps for the implementation of upgrades. If your app needs fixing, we are happy to help.
Do you develop cloud backend solutions and integrations?
Yes. Mobile app scalable backends based on cloud-native architectures are the nuts and bolts of our work. We design, develop and maintain high-performance backend solutions and, as frequently required, we can supply them with integrations via REST API, enabling your new app to talk to existing parts of your business-tech landscape.
Do you have experience in joint R&D projects?
Yes. We pride ourselves on our twenty-plus years of collaboration with automotive manufacturers, which includes joint R&D efforts. Using our combined teams approach, we work hand in hand with our clients to create innovative digital products and services.
What is the quality of your apps like?
As an ISO 27001 and TISAX certified company, we are absolutely committed to information security, app testing and removing bugs. We have therefore developed our own QA Automation Framework, which enhances our prompt bug fixing and speeds up delivery.
Do you transfer all the intellectual property rights to the client?
Yes. We provide working code together with a clear and transparent IP policy. Our bespoke software is sold with IP rights, while those parts that cannot be sold, in other words, the open-source libraries used in the project, are sub-licensed accordingly.
Do you provide documentation?
Yes. All the apps we build are documented in line with the work methodology for the project.

Best practices for User-Centric Design, including Quantitative and Qualitative User Research methods, merged with the talent of visual designers form a unique blend: captivating and highly functional design. Nevertheless, we have learned that even the best UI will fail without a great performing backend. Therefore, our delivery services focus on connecting all dots: design, development and agile practices for handling projects and communications. On-time delivery is the focus here. That’s how user-inspired solutions really can be brought to life.
