When neither Grey Trunk nor QuickTrack fits the floor, ARK builds the mobile RFID app to your workflow. The same in-house team that runs your feasibility study writes the code. Typical engagement: 10–16 weeks, feasibility through launch.
A typical custom mobile RFID engagement runs four phases over 10–16 weeks. The work starts on your floor — not in a Figma file.
On-site assessment. Asset inventory, environment, read-rate testing. Output: scope doc + read-rate estimate + go/no-go.
Tagging strategy, reader topology, data model, integrations. Output: design doc + wireframes + tag/reader spec.
Mobile app, backend, ERP integration. Pilot deployment in one location. Output: working pilot + admin dashboard.
Hardware install, training, read-rate tuning, multi-site rollout. Output: production system + ongoing optimization.
End-user enablement, role-based training, structured maintenance plans.
Read-rate tuning, dashboard iteration, feature additions as the operation grows.
A specialty manufacturer with a unique production-line workflow couldn't fit either Grey Trunk or QuickTrack. ARK built a custom iOS app with offline-first sync, ERP integration to their existing system, and read-rate tuning for their specific tag environment. 11-week engagement, feasibility through go-live.
Custom engagements start with a 30-minute working session. We'll walk through your workflow, your current pain, and tell you whether a custom build is the right move — or whether QuickTrack or Grey Trunk could handle it with a config tweak.
