We build apps. While there are many tool and platform decisions to consider when embarking on an app strategy, you can rely on our expertise when selecting the platform(s) and approach. We look at what your users are using, what tasks they need to accomplish and what is on the near horizon to arrive at the optimal solution - be it a mobile web view, native application or a cross-functional / mobile application platform. Equally as important; we ensure you know the key trade-offs of taking one approach versus another.

Launching Tablespoon.com for the web was not enough. We needed to reach consumers where they are when making meal decisions, which is anywhere. To this end we built a unique mobile experience focused on serving up relevant recipes and supporting search – putting the power to answer “what’s for dinner” in users’ hands wherever they are and to (almost) any mobile device.

Navistar wanted an iPhone app offering real-time parts inventory, dealership locations, and promotions information with the ability to make rapid changes to the information that users see. Ratchet wrote a custom service layer integrating four feeds – two maintained externally and two we created – to keep their application up-to-date and in users’ hands … rather than in Apple's app review queue. The app allows users to search for dealers by proximity to their current location, zip code, name, parts availability and service offerings; serving up detailed parts and specials available at each dealership.

Navistar needed a way for dealers to take their sales tools on the road with them; educating customers on each truck’s key features and benefits. We partnered with them to define, develop and deliver an online/offline iPad sales app integrating with a 3rd API to offer more insights via a competitive comparison. After great adoption and success with the iPad, a desktop version was created for dealers without iPads; expanding the reach of the tools.
