§ 01 · chicago mobile context
Companion apps. Field tools. Fintech-adjacent.
Mobile app work in Chicago skews toward three categories: companion apps for manufacturing-DTC connected products, B2B field-tools apps for wholesale and outside-sales teams, and consumer apps adjacent to financial services. Native iOS / Android when the hardware integration is deep, React Native for B2B field tools where shared screens dominate, native Swift / Kotlin for fintech-adjacent consumer apps where security review is more aggressive.
§ 02 · chicago mobile archetypes
Four app patterns we ship in Chicago.
B2B field tools
React Native apps for outside sales teams — catalog browsing, custom-pricing quoting, order entry that syncs to NetSuite or SAP, offline-first for warehouse-floor use.
Fintech-adjacent consumer
Branded consumer apps from financial-services adjacencies — trading data widgets, research subscription readers, exchange event ticketing. Stricter App Store privacy review, tighter data-handling requirements.
Food + beverage loyalty
Multi-location restaurant chains, distillery clubs, specialty grocery loyalty programs. POS integration, geofenced offers, push notifications driving repeat visits.
