Mobile App Development

A mobile app is not just a piece of software. For many organizations, it becomes the front door to the business. Customers log in. Field teams depend on it. Donors give through it. Operations move because of it.

If it fails, the business feels it immediately.

At Centreville Tech, we build mobile applications with that responsibility in mind. We are based in Centreville, Alabama, and we work with organizations that need their apps to function reliably in the real world, not just look good in a demo.

We have shipped dozens of apps across industries including freight forwarding, senior care, fundraising, and nonprofit organizations. Some are internal operational tools. Others serve thousands of end users. Each one was built with a clear business purpose and a long-term support plan. See our work for examples.

What We Actually Do

We design and develop mobile applications for:

• iOS and Android — cross-platform from a single codebase
• Operational and field-service teams — tools that work where your people work
• Customer portals and self-service apps — secure, login-based access for your users
• Data-driven dashboards — visibility when and where it matters
• Donation and fundraising platforms — reliable flows and clear reporting
• Secure, login-based enterprise tools — built for accountability and compliance

We can take a concept from planning to launch, or step into an existing project that needs stability and senior-level oversight.

Our focus is not just shipping an app. It is making sure the app supports your operations, integrates with your systems, and continues to perform over time.

Experience That Goes Beyond “App Development”

Our founder, Josh Lambert, is a long-term developer in the Titanium SDK ecosystem and serves as board chairman of TiDev, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based here in Bibb County that maintains and advances the Titanium framework.

That matters.

Most development firms simply use frameworks. We help guide one.

Because of that involvement, we understand the internals of the tooling, the architecture decisions behind it, and how to extend it properly when needed. Very few mobile development firms can say they actively participate in framework governance and direction.

This gives our clients:

• Stability in long-term technology decisions
• Confidence that their app is built on a platform we deeply understand
• The ability to solve problems others may not be equipped to handle

When something is complex, we do not guess. We understand the layers underneath.

Business-First Development

Before writing code, we focus on:

• What problem the app is solving
• Who depends on it daily
• How it connects to your existing systems
• What success looks like six months after launch

For example:

• A freight forwarding company may need real-time shipment visibility tied into API and EDI systems.
• A senior care provider may need secure caregiver reporting and compliance logging.
• A nonprofit may need reliable donation flows and clear reporting for leadership.

The technology changes by industry. The responsibility does not.

We design applications that align with real workflows and real accountability.

Integration and Infrastructure Awareness

A mobile app rarely stands alone.

It needs APIs. It needs secure authentication. It needs database design. It needs hosting that does not collapse under load. It needs maintenance.

As a software design and infrastructure company, we build the entire stack thoughtfully:

• Backend APIs and integrations
• Secure authentication and user management
• Cloud infrastructure planning
• Ongoing maintenance and updates
• Long-term support and enhancement

We treat your app as critical infrastructure, not a one-time project.

When to Call Us

You may need Centreville Tech if:

• Your organization relies on a mobile app for operations or revenue.
• You need senior-level engineering oversight.
• Your existing app is unstable or poorly maintained.
• You want a long-term partner, not a short-term contractor.
• You need a team that understands both software and the business behind it.

We are comfortable building from scratch. We are also comfortable stepping into complex environments that require steady, experienced leadership.

A Local Team with National Reach

We are proud to be based in Centreville, Alabama. We serve clients locally and across the country. Being local means you can call us and reach real people. It means accountability. It means long-term relationships.

Mobile apps can become one of the most important tools your organization owns. If you are going to invest in one, it should be built by a team that understands the responsibility that comes with it.

If you are considering a mobile application or need help stabilizing one you already have, we would be glad to talk through your goals and determine whether we are the right fit.

Mobile Apps by Industry

We have built mobile apps across a wide range of industries. For logistics and freight clients, apps need to connect to shipment data and carrier APIs in real time. For telecom and ISP operators, subscriber-facing apps require reliable streaming and account management. For startups, the app is often the primary product and must perform under investor scrutiny. For media and nonprofit organizations, the app drives donations and listener engagement.

Our custom software development capabilities mean we build and own the full backend stack that powers your app — not just the front end.
