hey everyone, need some advice before I start contacting companies.
I run a small event rental business in Utah. we rent tables, chairs, tents, lights, that kind of stuff. we’ve been doing it for about 5 years, and most bookings still happen through calls, emails, and a basic form on our site
It works, but it gets messy fast. people change dates, ask about delivery times, add extra items, or cancel last minute. then my team has to dig through texts and notes to figure out what’s actually happening
I’m thinking about building a simple mobile app for customers and maybe a small admin side for us. customers could request rentals, see availability, pay deposits, and get updates. nothing huge, just something that makes the process less painful.
So I’m looking for a company that offers mobile development services. I don’t care much about the state (but Utah is much welcomed), as long as they communicate clearly, price things fairly, and don’t make the project bigger than it needs to be
Has anyone hired a mobile app team for a small business before? what went well, and what should I watch out for?
