Mobile App Development in Savannah, GA

Savannah's mobile demand splits cleanly into the Port of Savannah and its drayage and 3PL ecosystem, the deep hospitality and tourism economy in the historic district, and a growing creative founder base around SCAD. Each of those buyers needs a mobile partner who can ship a real production app — not a Bubble prototype, not an offshore handoff.

The problem with off-the-shelf mobile in Savannah

Drayage and tour operators usually get pushed into vertical SaaS that nearly fits the workflow but never quite gets there. The mobile clients these vendors ship are heavy, slow on older handsets, and lock the operator into a contract with a vendor that does not understand the Savannah business cycle. Custom mobile fixes that.

A custom mobile build puts the data model, the UI, and the platform layer around how you actually operate. No vendor SDK tax. No per-seat ratchet. For Savannah operators specifically, that means mobile shaped for port-logistics and hospitality mobile — not a generic template.

What we ship for Savannah companies

Drayage and 3PL driver apps

Container, load, and POD capture in a mobile client that joins your dispatcher and your salesperson on the same record.

Hospitality + tour-operator mobile

Bookings, deposits, waivers, and customer comms in one app for boutique hotels, tour operators, and event venues across Chatham County.

SCAD-founder MVP builds

Pre-seed and bootstrapped mobile MVPs at a price point real Savannah founders can stomach — React Native, Stripe, Postgres.

Port-adjacent EDI + freight APIs

TMS feeds, AES filings, and freight-API integrations modeled into the mobile data layer.

Tech stack

React Native + Expo
Swift / SwiftUI (iOS)
Kotlin / Jetpack Compose
TypeScript
Node API + PostgreSQL
Stripe + Apple/Google Pay
Push (APNs / FCM)
Offline-first sync
App Store + Play submission

Hosted on Vercel, AWS, or your own infrastructure. PostgreSQL is the source of truth; the mobile client defers to it.

Reference builds

Savannah-relevant work includes UEhub (an education platform with mobile-first workflows), Wilder Recovery (a recovery-services platform with audit-aware records and mobile surfaces), and Aaron Coleman Music (a content-driven build whose mobile experience runs on the same Next.js + Postgres stack). Same patterns ship into a drayage driver app or a boutique-hotel ops platform.

Reference work: J5 Sales OS, Northcrest Fence, and Bridgepointe Painting.

How we work remote from Georgia

QUANT LAB USA is founder-led from Macon, Georgia. William Beltz runs every engagement from kickoff through handoff — no agency middleman, no offshore handoff at the framework boundary. Discovery happens over a structured video session; weekly demos run on the same cadence; staging is live from week two so you can put a real mobile build in your team's hands before final delivery.

For Savannah clients, that means full Eastern-time overlap, fixed-scope contracting against milestones, and on-site work when the engagement warrants it. Book a scope call to walk through your workflow and get a written estimate.

Pricing for Savannah mobile builds

Savannah mobile engagements typically scope between $30,000 and $80,000 for a production-grade MVP. Tour-operator and boutique-hotel apps land at the bottom of that range; freight-integrated drayage builds land at the top.

We quote fixed-fee scope after a 30-minute discovery call. Engagements include the mobile client, the backend, the API surface, Stripe and payments wiring as scoped, and App Store and Play Console submission. Source-code handoff is included at delivery — no platform fees, no per-seat charges, no vendor lock-in. See our parent mobile service page for the broader engagement model.

What you get

  • Full source code repository (yours, no lock-in)
  • iOS and Android builds submitted under your developer accounts
  • Backend API + PostgreSQL database
  • Stripe / Apple Pay / Google Pay wiring as scoped
  • Push notification setup (APNs + FCM)
  • 30-day post-launch support included

Savannah mobile FAQ

Can you build mobile for tour and charter operators in the historic district?

Yes — bookings, deposits, waivers, and customer comms in one app, plus reporting that does not require a Tableau license.

Do you support port-adjacent logistics integrations and EDI?

Yes. We have shipped EDI, freight APIs, and ops dashboards into mobile data layers — drayage scheduling and container tracking are in scope.

Are you available for on-site Savannah visits?

Yes. We drive down I-16 for kickoffs and reviews — same-state, no out-of-market handoff.

Can you ship a mobile MVP at a pre-seed budget for a SCAD founder?

Yes. We size the build to your actual runway, not a notional enterprise price. Fixed-scope, milestone-based.

Will the app work without service inside a steel warehouse or shipping container yard?

Yes. Offline-first is a default pattern for our logistics and field builds.

Who owns the source code?

You do. Full repository handoff at delivery.
