Build the app you actually need.

When Grey Trunk and QuickTrack don't line up with the workflow — unusual asset class, specialized environment, deep ERP integration — ARK builds the native iOS and Android app to match your operation. Same accountable team that runs the services track.

Three signals that off-the-shelf isn't the fit.

Signal · 01

Unique workflow

The operator's day doesn't match Grey Trunk's check-out / check-in model or QuickTrack's PO/SO flow. Adapting the operator to the software costs more than building the right software.

Signal · 02

Specialized assets

Unusual form-factor, harsh environment, regulatory constraints, or asset class that needs custom data fields and validation rules the products don't support.

Signal · 03

ERP doesn't integrate

Legacy ERP, in-house system, or compliance environment where the connector library on the products isn't enough. Custom build talks directly to your stack.

Four phases. References the services track.

Three things included in every custom engagement.

Pillar · 01

Native iOS + Android

Both platforms, built native — not a wrapped web app. Same UX target as Grey Trunk and QuickTrack mobile.

Pillar · 02

SOC 2 in flight

ARK runs an active SOC 2 program. Custom builds inherit the security posture and audit trail framework. References Compliance & Security.

Pillar · 03

Source code escrow

If something happens to ARK, your build doesn't go dark. Source held in escrow with a third party, release-on-event clauses in the contract.

Three months, plus or minus. A representative engagement — scope determines actual length. Multi-site or multi-vertical builds scale up from here.

4 weeks · Scoping

Discovery, read-rate testing, ROI, fixed-bid estimate. Stop here if custom isn't the right call.

6–12 weeks · Build

Native iOS + Android + backend + integration. Bi-weekly demos, no surprises at the end.

2–4 weeks · Pilot

Bounded pilot on one floor or one crew. Tune before rollout.
