  • Scope and proposal

    We define the first version, the users and the integrations, and send you a fixed proposal.

  • Development with demos

    Progress you can see on your own phone and regular follow-up meetings, most of them remote.

  • Launch

    Release on the app stores or the web, support during the first real-world use, and maintenance.

Apps for businesses in the province

What they say on Google

Two Google reviews on what worries people most when commissioning an app: deadlines and how they are treated.

Step 1 of 2

What do you need?
Where are you at?

First meeting free, in Vigo or by video call.

Action Development builds mobile and web apps for companies across the province of Pontevedra from its Vigo office (Rúa Colón, 20): the capital, Marín, Sanxenxo, O Grove, Cambados, Vilagarcía de Arousa, O Porriño, Ponteareas, Lalín or anywhere in the Rías Baixas. Important meetings are held in person, and day-to-day work happens over video calls and test versions.

Our office is in Vigo, about half an hour from Pontevedra city, and the company behind Action Development, Alcasi Systems, S.L., has its registered office in Marín. We are local, and that shows in a practical way: we can sit down with you whenever the project calls for it, without travel becoming a line in your budget.

What apps the province needs

The economy of the province of Pontevedra runs at two paces. The coast sets one, shaped by Rías Baixas tourism, the sea and hospitality, where the high season packs a large part of the year into a few months. The other belongs to the capital and the interior, with industry, services, retail and a strong public-sector presence: Pontevedra is the provincial capital and home to the Diputación.

Each pace calls for different apps. On the coast: real-time bookings and availability for anyone renting boats, organising excursions or running accommodation, because in August nobody has time to answer the phone. In the capital and the interior: management tools, such as members of a club, students of an academy, appointments at a clinic or work reports for a service company.

We have real cases on both sides: a sports club in O Porriño that manages families' registrations and payments from its platform, and a nautical website with bookings connected to the real availability of the fleet.

Apps for seasonal businesses

A business that earns in three months what others earn in twelve cannot afford a booking system that fails in July. That is why, in tourism and boating projects, we design for the peak first: what happens when many bookings arrive at once, how double bookings are avoided and what the customer sees if something is unavailable.

We also think about the rest of the year: an app that in winter helps build loyalty, sell vouchers or share news justifies its cost better than one that only gets opened in August.

Before commissioning an app, three questions

Who will use it, and how often? An app your customer opens once a year may be better as a website. What process does it replace? If it doesn't replace anything that is done by hand today, it is unlikely to be used. Who will keep it alive? An app without content or updates is abandoned within months.

If you have an answer to all three, let's talk. If not, the first meeting is precisely where we find them.

Frequently asked questions

Do you travel to Pontevedra, Sanxenxo or Vilagarcía?

Yes, for the meetings that merit it: the project kick-off, prototype validation and delivery. The rest moves forward remotely, with demos and test versions, so you don't pay for unnecessary travel.

Do you build apps for sports clubs and associations?

Yes. For PBB, the youth basketball club in O Porriño, registration and payment of the fee and enrolment are done from the website, with separate accounts for families and players, and parents manage their children's accounts from their own profile.

I run a seasonal business. Is an app worth it?

It depends on how much work it takes off you in high season. If you currently lose bookings by not answering in time, or do by hand what could happen automatically, it usually pays off. If your customer finds you once and never returns, a website with bookings may be enough; we will tell you.

Can the app be in Galician and other languages?

Yes. We can build the app in Galician, Spanish, English or Portuguese — with visitors from northern Portugal in mind — from the design stage, which is when it costs least.

Can you contract with public bodies?

Yes. Action Development is the trading brand of Alcasi Systems, S.L. (CIF B72910664), registered in the Pontevedra Commercial Registry, and our terms of engagement cover the public sector. The registration details are in the legal notice.

I already have an app that doesn't work well. What do we do?

We audit it: we review the code, the architecture and user feedback, and tell you frankly whether it is worth fixing or rebuilding, with the cost of each option.
