Need to develop a digital solution? At MobileThinking, we have completed over 100 business solution development projects in the last 7 years. This means that we are familiar with all the development processes! Of course, you know as well as we do that in order to avoid wasting time and money, it's essential to start with a solid foundation. So, to get your project off to a good start, we offer you a free, no-obligation one-hour consultation. Here is an overview of the main benefits to be gained.

Presentation of your project
Whether you're a visionary entrepreneur or an IT manager in an established company, you may not know where to start with your development project. Whether your idea is in its infancy or mature, this is your opportunity to present us with all your needs, in terms of functionality and objectives. But also to expose us your technical constraints and your expectations regarding design and security. We also encourage you to ask us all the necessary questions:
- a good understanding of our work process
- our technical skills and the technologies we use on client projects
- our references and projects similar to yours that we have already completed
As we are used to this type of exchange, we are able to draw the quintessence of it to quickly provide you with precious indications!
Validation of its technical feasibility
You are convinced of the merits of your application idea. However, you need technical advice to move forward and know whether or not it is feasible. Thanks to the preliminary presentation of your needs and constraints, our expertise, based on our accumulated experience on projects of all sizes for multiple industrial or tertiary sectors, is able to quickly determine the technical feasibility of your project.
If the exact definition of the technological stack necessary for the development is only done at the next step, we can still take advantage of this hour of preliminary consulting to start thinking together about the technical contours that your project may take.
Thus, our advice is likely to confirm your initial idea or to point you in a new direction (if your idea is not feasible as it is). In both cases, you will benefit from our meeting!

Definition of a development roadmap
In consultation with you, we can already plan a development roadmap for your project.
Depending on the size of the project, your own constraints and the projected availability of our experts who could join the team that would be dedicated to it, a pre-agenda can be drawn up together.
Choice of the technological stack, production launch, design conception, division and assignment of tasks, technical development, unit tests, functional and technical final acceptance... You leave with a clear roadmap that will help you make your decision!

Estimated development time
All the information you give us during the preliminary interview is used to consider your project on a development time scale. We take into account multiple criteria:
- your availability, because the client's reactivity is a major factor in the success of the project;
- in fact, working in an agile manner with regular technical contacts makes it possible to follow a short and modular "task > development > tests > validation" process;
- the number and complexity of the functionalities to be implemented; the type of application (developing a hybrid application designed to run on both iOS and Android requires less time than developing two separate native applications, for example);
- your estimated budget (shortcuts can be taken depending on the case).
Estimate of a price range
At the end of this hour-long consultation, our experts will be able to provide you with a range of estimated costs for your project. How is this possible so early? Simply because we have extensive experience and know how to determine the exact size of each project. In addition, we have identified the 3 criteria that most strongly influence the budget needed to develop an application:
- the type of application (native, hybrid, business application);
- the technological complexity (the larger the functional need, the more resources the project will require to be designed and built);
- design complexity (classic, custom, non-standard...).
The collection of your needs allows us to draw the guidelines of development, we are therefore sufficiently armed to estimate the cost of realization of your idea. To know more about it, consult this article about the cost of developing an application.
Conclusion
We make sure that this free hour of meeting is as fruitful as possible in a minimum of time. Our expertise allows us to answer all your questions, to provide you with solid elements of reflection and to propose you a plan and a price estimate of development. Don't hesitate: since it's free and without any commitment on your part, make an appointment with us without further delay!
