UX Design & Mobile App Development
Apps and storefronts that are wired in, not bolted on
We redesign storefront journeys and build commerce apps — for shoppers, for dealers and distributors, and for teams in the field. Always connected to the platform underneath, because we build that too.
An app is only as good as what it can reach
Most app projects fail quietly. The design is fine. The build is fine. Then it goes live and the app cannot see live stock, cannot price an order the way the ERP prices it, and cannot tell a dealer what they owe. The team spends the next year building integrations nobody scoped.
We come at it from the other side. Iksula builds and runs commerce platforms, so when we design a journey or build an app we already know what the systems underneath can and cannot answer. The design is shaped by what is actually reachable, and the integrations are part of the build rather than a phase after it.
What we design and build
UX audit and redesign
We map the journey your customers actually take, find where they drop, and redesign around it. Information architecture, navigation, search and product pages, and the checkout — where most of the lost revenue sits.
Design systems and accessibility
One design system across web, app and in-store screens, so a change ships everywhere instead of three times. Built to accessibility standards, which also happens to be what makes an interface usable on a bad connection.
Consumer commerce apps
Native and cross-platform shopping apps — browse, search, buy, track, return. Built against the same catalog, price and order services as the website, so the two never drift apart.
Dealer, distributor and field apps
B2B ordering, trade and field apps for the people who sell on your behalf. Account-specific pricing, credit position, order history and content access — the things a distributor opens an app to find.
Where these have been built
Every app below was delivered inside a larger platform engagement. That is how we prefer to build them.
B2B trade ordering A Gulf food and beverage manufacturer — an ordering app for the trade, integrated with SAP.
Field and channel, at scale An agri-inputs business — a purchase app used by farmers, linked to 1,000 stores.
Dealer and distributor access A home appliance manufacturer — an app that lets distributors and retailers reach and share managed product content.
Consumer shopping apps A global consumer appliance brand, a European apparel brand and a regional pharmacy chain — each alongside their Adobe Commerce build.
Do you design, or do you build?
Both, and usually together. We run UX audits and redesigns, and we build the apps and storefronts that come out of them. The same team carries the work from journey map to release.
What kinds of apps do you build?
Consumer shopping apps, B2B ordering apps, dealer and distributor apps, and field apps for people selling away from a desk. Native and cross-platform, including the backend integration each one needs.
Can you build an app for a platform you did not build?
Yes. It changes the first phase, not the work. We start by establishing what your commerce, order and pricing systems can actually serve, because that decides what the app can promise.
How do you approach a UX redesign?
Journey mapping and behaviour data first, so the redesign is aimed at a measured drop-off rather than a taste argument. Then information architecture, design system, and prototypes tested before anything is built.
Do you work on checkout specifically?
Yes, and it is usually where we start. Checkout is the shortest path between a design change and a revenue change, and it is the easiest place to prove a redesign was worth doing.
Will the app work with our ERP and order management?
That is the part we treat as the main event. Account pricing, credit, stock position and order history all live in systems the app has to reach. We scope those integrations at the start, not after launch.
Do you maintain apps after launch, or hand them over?
We maintain them. Most of our work is long-run — releases, store submissions, OS upgrades and an enhancement backlog.
Who is this for?
Commercial and ecommerce leaders who want a better-converting storefront, and CIOs who need an app that talks properly to the systems behind it. Often both, on the same programme.
