# Mobile App Development in Malaysia. For enterprises and institutions.

Last updated: October 2026 [Book a free strategy call](https://shakalakaa.my/contact)What we build     Quick answer

shakalakaa builds native iOS and Android or cross-platform apps for Malaysian organisations with a real operational use: field teams, member and patient apps, booking and loyalty.

Each project is scoped and quoted on its own, with no fixed price. Every app is integrated with the CRM, WhatsApp and back-end systems the organisation already runs.

## Apps with an operational job to do.

An app earns its place when it removes a step someone does by hand every day. These are the four kinds we build.

### Operational apps

Carrier, field-team and driver apps that record jobs, photos and sign-offs where the work happens.

### Customer apps

Booking, membership and loyalty apps for groups with many branches or departments.

### Internal tools

Approval, inspection and reporting tools for staff who are rarely at a desk.

### App, CRM and WhatsApp together

The app shares its data with the CRM and the WhatsApp flows, so a booking made in one shows in the others. See [custom software](https://shakalakaa.my/services/custom-software).     More detail on how the app connects to your systems

Most organisations already run a CRM, a booking system or a member database. We build the app against those systems instead of starting a second record of the same customers.

Enquiries and reminders that run over WhatsApp are built on our [WhatsApp automation](https://shakalakaa.my/services/whatsapp-automation) service, so the app and the chat thread show the same booking.      Proof

## Native and cross-platform builds.

We build native iOS and Android apps as well as cross-platform builds, including carrier and driver apps for operational teams.      How we work

## Service timeline.

### Discovery

Document how the workflow runs today, including the workarounds, before designing what replaces them.

### UX

Screens and flows designed around the people who will use the app every day, and tested with them.

### Build & Integration

Development wired into your existing systems, such as the CRM, booking and WhatsApp, rather than replacing them.

### Store release

The app is prepared and submitted for release on the App Store and Google Play.

### Support Window

Post-launch support catches real-world issues; ongoing maintenance continues on retainer after that if you want it.      More From shakalakaa

      FAQ

## Frequently Asked Questions.

### Should we build native or cross-platform?

Native iOS and Android builds suit apps that lean on the camera, location or offline use in the field. A cross-platform build suits most booking, membership and internal apps, because one codebase serves both stores. We recommend one after discovery, based on what the app has to do.

### Can the app work with the systems we already run?

Yes. We integrate the app with the CRM, booking system, WhatsApp flows and back end the organisation already has, so staff keep working in one record instead of two.

### Who owns the code?

You do. Source code, database and hosting access are handed over at launch. It is your asset, not a licence we hold over you.

### How is an app project scoped and priced?

Every engagement is a custom quote. We scope the screens, the integrations, the platforms and the support you need after a discovery call, and we do not publish a fixed price.      Let's talk
