Delivery

Built with Precision. Validated by Results.

Bristol businesses need a mobile development partner who ships on schedule, communicates clearly, and builds apps that hold up under App Store review and real user load. Every Akoode project runs through our in-house team from architecture to deployment, no handoffs, no surprises. 

Proven Delivery Track Record

We build scalable mobile products for Bristol startups, engineering firms, and enterprise teams across the South West. Every engagement follows a structured roadmap with milestone tracking, sprint reviews, and clear delivery accountability from day one.

Transparent Collaboration, Bristol Timezone

Our teams keep dedicated UK-India overlap hours for real-time communication during planning, reviews, and deployment, and Bristol clients stay connected through Slack, Jira, GitHub, and weekly sprint reporting for the length of the engagement.

Long-Term Technology Partners

Bristol clients tend to stick with Akoode well past their first release, because we architect for maintainability from the outset instead of leaving a costly rebuild waiting two years down the line.

Recognised on Clutch and Google

Akoode carries strong ratings on Clutch and Google across FinTech, HealthTech, SaaS, and enterprise technology, and our mobile engineers work daily in Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, and production AI features.

Why Bristol Businesses Need Engineering Held to Aerospace Tolerances

Bristol has been the centre of British precision engineering since aircraft production began at Filton in 1910. That heritage produced Concorde: the British prototype made its first flight from Filton on 9 April 1969, and the aircraft's Olympus 593 engines descended directly from the Bristol-Siddeley Olympus, the world's first two-spool axial-flow turbojet. Supersonic flight does not tolerate a rough estimate anywhere in the system, and that standard is still what Filton, now home to Airbus UK's wing design centre, engineers to today.

The same city is now where modern AI hardware gets designed. Graphcore, the company behind the Intelligence Processing Unit, a chip architecture built specifically for machine learning, was founded in Bristol in 2016 by Nigel Toon and Simon Knowles, spinning out of XMOS, itself a 2005 University of Bristol spinout. As one Bristol chip founder put it, the city is the epicentre of leading-edge high-performance processor design in Europe. A mobile app built here sits in a market that has spent over a century treating precision, whether in an aircraft engine or a silicon chip, as completely non-negotiable.

Akoode works with Bristol-based founders, CTOs, and product teams who want mobile engineering held to that same aerospace-grade and chip-grade precision. Our teams have delivered across FCA workflows, NHS Digital standards, and enterprise security requirements, building native and cross-platform mobile apps across Bristol and the wider UK mobile app development market that meet App Store and Play Store expectations from day one. 

Market Position

Bristol is one of the UK's leading engineering and technology hubs, home to Airbus UK's wing design centre and a dense concentration of semiconductor design talent.

Timezone Overlap

4 to 6 hours of daily UK-India crossover enables active collaboration throughout Bristol business hours.

Engineering Heritage

A city that engineered supersonic flight at Filton and now designs some of Europe's most advanced AI processors.

Key Outcomes

Feature Modules

Property Categories

Challenge

None of these problems were dramatic on their own. A duplicated call here, a stale price there. What made them expensive was how they fed each other — because listings lived in one place and enquiries in another, no agent could verify anything while standing in front of a client, so they guessed, and every guess created a correction somewhere downstream.

What We Built

We were explicit with the client early on: layering software over the existing spreadsheet habits would just add a fourth place to look. The brief we agreed on was replacement. Everything an agent touches during a working day had to live in the new system by launch, or the old habits would survive alongside it and nothing would change.

Sign-in paths

Challenge

No single failure here was fatal on its own. Stacked together, they were. A driver who can't check availability arrives at a full lot. A driver who can't pay in advance queues at the barrier. A lot with no arrival record can't settle a dispute. An owner who can't list a space themselves waits on staff. And a business with no console can't see any of it happening. Every gap made the next one more expensive.

What We Built

The client wasn't asking for a listings app with a payment button bolted on. They needed the whole operation to run on software: the driver's journey from search to departure, the owner's ability to put inventory on the platform without help, and their own ability to see and control all of it. Three audiences, one system, no manual bridge between them.

AI-Powered Pelvic Floor Fitness App

Platforms Live

Challenge

Pelvic floor rehabilitation requires a level of movement precision that standard fitness apps are not built to verify. Users performing exercises at home have no mechanism for knowing whether their form meets the biomechanical criteria that make the exercise therapeutic rather than harmful. Building a platform that bridges that gap requires solving problems in real-time pose validation, data privacy, cross-platform delivery, and subscription-based programme access that most fitness app frameworks do not address out of the box.

What We Built

The brief required productising a validated AI proof of concept into a fully deployable, subscription-based mobile fitness platform. The finished system needed to deliver real-time pose correction on standard smartphones, support structured 12-week pelvic health programmes with group and subscription access controls, and give M2 Method's team complete independence to manage content, users, and programmes without developer involvement.

What Our Clients Say

Akoode Technologies has done a fantastic job developing a custom web application for my global real estate firm. They used Next.js and Node.js, which made the site incredibly fast and responsive, even on mobile devices. What really stood out was their deep research and data integration for different countries and cities, which added huge value to our platform. The design is modern, sleek, and user-friendly. From start to finish, their team was professional, supportive, and highly skilled. Yes, the pricing is slightly on the higher side, but the quality, speed, and long-term results make it completely worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on process, pricing, timelines, compliance, and what working with Akoode actually looks like for Bristol mobile app projects. 

Mobile app development costs in Bristol depend on scope, complexity, platform choice, and engagement model, and typically come in below equivalent London pricing for the same depth of work. An MVP typically starts from £20,000 to £50,000 depending on feature depth and whether it targets one or both platforms. Akoode provides detailed scoping and transparent pricing during discovery.
Akoode works across the full spectrum: early-stage Bristol startups building their first app, growth-stage companies scaling an existing product, and enterprise or engineering-led teams running larger mobile transformation programmes. Startups typically work on fixed-cost MVP engagements, while larger firms tend to move to dedicated team or staff augmentation models.
A dedicated team provides a complete cross-functional unit, developers, QA, designers, and a technical lead, working on your app full-time as an extension of your organisation. Staff augmentation adds individual specialist engineers directly into your existing in-house team to fill specific skill gaps or accelerate velocity.
Timelines depend on scope and complexity. A well-scoped MVP typically takes eight to twelve weeks from discovery to App Store submission. An app with real-time features, payment integration, or complex backend logic usually requires three to five months. During discovery, we produce a realistic project roadmap with milestone dates before development begins.
Compliance is addressed at the architecture stage, not bolted on before launch. For Bristol clients, our teams map UK GDPR requirements, data residency obligations, and sector-specific regulations into the app design from the first sprint, especially relevant for the engineering and deep tech firms concentrated in this market.
Yes. Akoode signs NDAs before any detailed technical or commercial discussions. All intellectual property created during the engagement transfers fully to the client, and Akoode retains no rights to the code, designs, or product documentation delivered under the engagement.
Submit your project requirements through the contact form on this page. A senior member of the Akoode team will review your submission and respond within one business day. If your project is complex, we'll recommend a paid discovery engagement to produce a detailed technical scope and delivery roadmap before a fixed commitment is made.
It depends on your priorities. Native Swift and Kotlin apps give the best performance and deepest platform integration, which matters most for apps with heavy device feature use. Flutter or React Native gets a single codebase to both platforms faster and at lower cost, which suits most MVPs and business apps. We recommend the right approach during discovery based on your actual requirements.
Our teams operate dedicated UK-India overlap hours that cover the majority of the Bristol working day. Planning sessions, sprint reviews, design critiques, and deployment calls are scheduled during this window, and clients communicate directly with their development team through Slack, Jira, and GitHub throughout the project.
Akoode has taken over mobile projects started by other development teams on multiple occasions. The process starts with a technical audit of the existing codebase, App Store account, and documentation. Our senior engineers assess quality, identify risks, and produce a remediation plan before development continues.
Submission is part of every mobile engagement. Our team handles listing preparation, metadata, privacy disclosures, and the review guideline issues that most commonly cause a first submission to bounce back, so Bristol clients are not learning App Store and Play Store review requirements for the first time on launch day.
Yes. AI development is a core capability, not an add-on. Akoode builds in-app AI features using RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, computer vision, and predictive analytics, covering document analysis, intelligent search, recommendation engines, and operational automation, all built with explainability and UK GDPR-aligned data handling as standard.
Our strongest sector experience in the Bristol mobile market covers engineering and aerospace-adjacent businesses, semiconductor and deep tech, media, healthcare, and financial services. For engineering firms, we have delivered mobile apps requiring the same tolerance for precision this city's aerospace and chip sectors already demand.
