What we build
Five things, done properly.
We keep the stack narrow on purpose. These are the platforms we've shipped on repeatedly, so estimates hold and nothing gets learned on your budget.
Native Android
Kotlin apps that behave on cheap hardware and old OS versions, not just on the newest flagship.
Cross-platform
One codebase for both stores when the app doesn't need platform-specific depth. We'll tell you when it does.
Web applications
Dashboards, admin panels, and customer portals that stay fast as the data grows.
Backend & APIs
The part nobody sees: auth, payments, notifications, storage, and the infrastructure it runs on.
How we work
Four steps, no surprises in the middle.
Every project runs the same way. You'll know what's being built, what it costs, and what week it lands, before anyone writes code.
-
Scope
We read your order, ask the questions it raises, and write a specification with a fixed feature list and a fixed price. If the numbers don't work, we say so here.
1–2 weeks
-
Design
Wireframes first, then screens, then a clickable prototype you can hand to someone and watch them use. Nothing goes into build until you've signed off.
2–3 weeks
-
Build
Two-week cycles. You get a working build at the end of each one, plus a written note on what changed and what's next.
6–14 weeks
-
Ship & support
Store submission, release notes, crash monitoring, and three months of fixes included. After that, a support retainer if you want one.
Ongoing
Since 2017
Nine years of shipping other people's ideas.
KraftSoft started in 2017 as three contractors sharing an office and turning down work they couldn't finish. That habit stuck. We run three or four projects at a time, never more, which is why the delivery dates in our proposals tend to be the dates things actually arrive.
Most of our clients are logistics, retail, and healthcare companies with a process that outgrew its spreadsheet. A few are funded startups on their first product. Either way you work with the same people from scope to launch — no account manager relay, no offshore handoff halfway through.

Selected work
Three we can talk about.
Most of what we build sits behind an NDA. These three clients let us describe the work.
KS-2023-0072
Northline Freight
Driver dispatch app
Three hundred drivers were taking job assignments by phone call. We built a dispatch app with offline job queues for dead zones and a live map for the office. Call volume to dispatch dropped by roughly two thirds in the first quarter.
KS-2024-0104
Verity Care
Home visit scheduling
Care coordinators were rebuilding the same weekly rota in a spreadsheet every Friday. We replaced it with a scheduler that accounts for travel time, carer skills, and client preferences, and pushes the day's route to each carer's phone.
KS-2025-0131
Mallow & Finch
Retail stock companion
A twelve-store homeware chain needed shop-floor staff to check stock in other branches without walking to the back office. Barcode scan, availability across all stores, one tap to reserve. Built cross-platform in nine weeks.
What clients say
In their words.
They came back after the scoping week and told us two of our five features weren't worth building yet. That saved us more than the whole project cost.
We got a working build every second Friday for four months. I never once had to ask how it was going.
The handover pack was better documented than the system we replaced, and that one had a vendor behind it.

Tell us what you need built.
Fill in what you know. Rough answers are fine — the point is to give us enough to come back with real questions. It takes about three minutes.
● Order received
KS-2026-0000
Thanks. Your order is in.
One of our engineers will contact you within one business day — usually the same afternoon. They'll have read your description before they call, so expect questions rather than a sales pitch.
Quote your reference if you email us in the meantime.
Questions
Before you ask.
How long does a typical build take?
Between three and six months from signed scope to store listing, for most apps. A single-platform app with a narrow feature list can land in eight weeks. Anything under six weeks is usually a prototype, and we'll say so.
What does it cost?
Small single-platform builds start around $18,000. Most projects land between $25,000 and $90,000. We quote a fixed price against a fixed scope after the scoping week, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, before the first call if you'd like. Tick the box on the order form and we'll send ours, or send us yours.
Who owns the code?
You do, in full, including the repository and the infrastructure accounts. Everything is transferred to you at launch with a written handover.
