Every consultancy knows the moment. A client you have served well asks for something new — this time, a mobile app. Saying no means sending them to someone else. Saying yes means delivering something your team has never built, to a deadline that is not moving. And the client is not interested in your staffing problem; they want the app in their users' hands.
That was the position at Amla Consultancy, a software consultant in Kerala. One of their clients needed a mobile app: the client's process was still manual and paper-based, and their users needed to be able to do it from a phone. Amla had no in-house mobile team, and the deadline was tight.
Acube built the app for Amla to deliver to their client. It launched on the app stores and was delivered on time. The project was completed before 2019.

| Location | Kerala, India |
| Industry | Software consultancy |
| Engagement | Mobile app development, delivered by Amla to one of their own clients |
| When | Before 2019 |
The request came from Amla's client, but the problem was Amla's: how to deliver a mobile product without a mobile team, without missing the date, and without putting the client relationship at risk.
Amla needed mobile development skills it did not have on staff.
The end client's users had no way to do the work on a phone.
The work the app had to support was being done by hand.
The app had to be ready on the client's timeline, not on the time it would take to hire and train a team.
The cost of staying as-is: a consultancy that can't say yes to a client's next request gives that client a reason to look elsewhere — for this project and the ones after it.
A mobile app built by Acube and delivered through Amla to their client — so the end client got the product they asked for, and Amla kept the relationship.
| Capability | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Mobile app for the end client's users | The work that used to happen on paper moved onto a phone, where the users actually are. |
| App-store release | The app was published on the app stores, ready for users to install. |
| Delivered through Amla | Acube worked behind Amla's engagement, so the client relationship stayed with Amla. |
| Built to the deadline | The project was planned around the client's date and delivered on it. |
There is no usage figure for this project to quote, so we are not quoting one. The outcomes that mattered to Amla were these:
A finished, published product — not a prototype.
Amla met the deadline it had committed to its client.
For a consultancy, those two outcomes are the whole point: the client got what was promised, when it was promised, and the consultancy that promised it was able to deliver.
The engagement was set up so that Amla never had to become a mobile company to serve its client. Acube supplied the mobile development and took the app to the stores; Amla kept ownership of the client relationship. That division is what made the deadline realistic — the work started with people who already build apps, rather than waiting for a team to be hired.
It is the same model we use when other software firms need capacity they don't have in-house, whether that is a whole app or developers who join their team. We have been doing it since 2011, and 70% of our work comes by referral.
Working with Acube the way Amla did makes sense when:
a mobile app, in Amla's case — and you'd rather deliver it than turn the work away.
and there isn't time to hire and train a team first.
while someone else does the specialist build.
, and the app has to turn it into something people can do on a phone.
, not just written — on the stores and ready to install.
If your client's request fits, the conversation to have is about scope and date. Those two decide what can be delivered and when.
See what it would cost — Answer a few plain questions about how you work, and see a real figure.
Yes. That is exactly what happened here: Acube built the app and Amla delivered it to their client. The client relationship stays with you.
Amla's deadline was tight and the app was delivered on time. Tell us the date at the start — we plan the scope around it and say plainly if something will not fit.
We can take it all the way to the stores. Amla's app was launched on the app stores as part of the project.
That is common, and it was the case here. Part of building the app is turning the paper steps into screens that make sense on a phone.
Yes — that is our staff augmentation service. Some partners prefer a finished app, others prefer extra developers; we do both.
That is for you to decide. In Amla's case the app was built by Acube for Amla to deliver to its own client. Tell us how you want the engagement to work and we'll agree it at the start.
