What we build
What does enterprise mobile app development include?
Enterprise mobile engagements cover SSO and conditional access, MDM-compatible distribution, offline workflows for field conditions, integration with systems of record, and the security documentation your IT and risk teams will require before deployment.
- 01
SSO and access
SAML or OIDC single sign-on with conditional access and session policies matching your corporate standards.
Identity - 02
MDM distribution
Managed distribution and configuration through your MDM, including managed app configuration.
Deployment - 03
Offline workflows
Task completion without connectivity, with sync that respects the systems of record.
Field - 04
Backend integration
Integration with ERP and line-of-business systems through an API layer rather than direct coupling.
Integration - 05
Security documentation
Architecture, data flow, and control documentation prepared for IT and risk review.
Assurance
Requirements
Which requirements shape enterprise mobile app development?
Enterprise apps must pass security review, work on managed devices, and earn adoption from employees who did not ask for them. Requirements cover identity, device management, offline reliability, and usability good enough to displace the workaround.
| Requirement | Why it matters | How FISTA builds to it |
|---|---|---|
| Identity and access | Corporate access policy applies on mobile. | SSO with conditional access, session and re-authentication policies, and clean handling of revoked access. |
| Device management | IT deploys and controls the app. | MDM-compatible distribution, managed configuration, and support for both corporate and personal device programs. |
| Data protection | Corporate data on phones is a risk. | Minimal local caching, encryption, remote wipe support, and no corporate data in third-party analytics. |
| Offline reliability | Field work happens without coverage. | Local-first workflows with idempotent sync and clear state, so employees trust their work is recorded. |
| Adoption | Bad internal apps get bypassed. | Usability testing with actual employees, measured task completion time, and iteration before wide rollout. |
Where AI fits
Where does AI fit in enterprise mobile app development?
AI fits enterprise apps where employees currently search, retype, or ask a colleague: answering procedure questions from approved documents, extracting data from photos and paperwork, drafting reports from captured data, and surfacing the next task.
- 01
Procedure answering
Approved procedures answered with citations, working from cached content where connectivity fails.
- 02
Capture and extraction
Photos and paperwork turned into structured fields, removing retyping in the field.
- 03
Report drafting
Shift or job reports drafted from captured data for the employee to review and submit.
- 04
Next-task surfacing
The most relevant next action given location, schedule, and priority, rather than a static list.
Cost and timeline
How much does enterprise mobile app development cost, and how long does it take?
Cost is driven by integration count, offline complexity, and security requirements; timeline by IT security review and MDM rollout. FISTA does not quote blind: the scoping call returns a specification, a control map, and a phased estimate.
Security review and MDM rollout are calendar items with their own queues. FISTA produces architecture and data-flow documentation during delivery so review is a check rather than a research exercise.
Adoption decides return on investment. An enterprise app that adds steps gets bypassed, so FISTA tests with real employees and measures task time before wide rollout rather than after.
Send the scope you have, even if it is a paragraph. You get a written brief, an architecture sketch, and a phased estimate before any commitment.

How does FISTA deliver a mobile app?
FISTA delivers apps in four phases: product discovery that produces the MVP specification and clickable flows, architecture for app and backend with the store-compliance checklist, two-week builds demoed on TestFlight and Play internal tracks, and a monitored release with analytics, crash reporting, and a post-launch iteration plan.

Why FISTA
Why choose FISTA Solutions for enterprise mobile app development?
FISTA builds enterprise apps that pass IT review and survive contact with employees, with SSO, MDM support, and offline reliability as core scope. Work is contracted through a US entity with full IP assignment.
Enterprise Apps specifics
- SSO, conditional access, and revoked-access handling follow your corporate standards rather than a simplified approximation.
- Distribution and configuration work through your MDM, including managed app configuration for zero-touch setup.
- Corporate data on device is minimized, encrypted, wipeable, and never sent to third-party analytics.
- Usability is tested with actual employees and measured on task completion time before rollout.
How FISTA engineers
- Spec-Driven Development: every deliverable starts as a written specification with acceptance criteria, so scope is testable before it is built.
- AI-native delivery: engineers direct coding agents under review gates and evaluation harnesses, compressing build time without loosening verification.
- Official Anthropic partner, with production experience across Claude, OpenAI, Google, and open-weight models, chosen per workload rather than by default.
- One accountable delivery lead, weekly demos on your environment, and code in your repositories from week one.
What you get as a client
- 150+ projects delivered for 50+ companies across 12+ countries since 2017, with 99.9% verified uptime on systems we operate.
- A US entity (FISTA Solutions Inc., Wilmington, Delaware) for contracting, invoicing, and IP assignment, with an engineering center in Faisalabad, Pakistan for cost-efficient senior capacity.
- US business-hours overlap for standups and reviews; written decision logs so nothing depends on a meeting you missed.
- Flexible engagement: fixed-scope build, embedded forward deployed engineers, or a dedicated team that you can scale month to month.
Clear answers
What app buyers ask before they commit.
Straightforward guidance for evaluating scope, fit, and the next step.
01Can the app use our corporate SSO?
Yes, through SAML or OIDC with your identity provider, including conditional access policies, session controls, and correct behavior when access is revoked.
02Can we distribute it through our MDM?
Yes, with managed distribution and managed app configuration so IT can deploy and configure without per-device setup, on both corporate and personal device programs.
03How is corporate data protected on personal devices?
Minimal local caching, encryption at rest, support for remote wipe, and no corporate data flowing into third-party analytics, with the data flows documented for your risk team.
04How do you make sure employees actually use it?
By testing with real employees during the build and measuring task completion time against the current process. If it adds steps, it gets changed before rollout rather than after abandonment.
05How long does an enterprise app take?
A focused workforce app typically takes a few months, with IT security review and MDM rollout as the usual gating items alongside integration access.
