Let's Talk

What are web apps?

Web applications are software tools accessed via a web browser. With web apps, you can access your data and services from anywhere with an internet connection. Custom web apps can make communication easier for teams and customers, breaking down barriers and increasing productivity.

What are web app examples?

Believe it or not, most people use web apps everywhere in their daily lives. You’re probably familiar with many examples, such as your online banking platform, e-commerce retailer websites, and social media channels. Even the subscription-based SaaS (software-as-a-service) platform your business uses for inventory management, production scheduling, and more is most likely a web app if you can access it from an Internet browser.

Why build a web app?

You can buy off-the-shelf web apps pre-made and ready to go, but will they solve your specific business problems? If you have specialized workflows and business processes, an off-the-shelf solution will not give you what you need to optimize your business and control your data. Before buying or building a web app, always talk with an expert to help identify your best solution options. Our team at Steelhead Software has years of experience building web apps that solve a wide range of business problems, and we’re happy to give you the guidance you need to make the best choice for your business, even if it’s not going with us. 

What app should I build?

While you could build a web app for everything, that’s not very strategic, nor will it deliver your desired ROI. When choosing what type of web app to build, we recommend picking the web app solutions that will solve your most critical business problems. For example:

Business Problem Solution
Customers can’t easily find or pay for products online. E-commerce Web App
Critical business departments can’t see their data or get a centralized view of operations. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Web App
Employees can’t assign project responsibilities or track progress. Project Management Web App
Leaders can’t analyze their data or generate accurate department-specific reports. Analytics and Reporting Web App
