AI-enabled workflows
Add AI for a clear user benefit, with agreed data access, evaluation, costs and human review.
We use a structured development process that keeps clients involved throughout the project.
Step 1
Discovery & Requirements
We start with the business, not code: the app's purpose, users, features, integrations, processes, technical needs, and expected outcomes. This creates a clearer scope and implementation plan.
Step 2
Planning & Architecture
We plan mobile technology, backend and database structure, APIs, integrations, hosting, security, and deployment strategy around the agreed requirements.
Step 3
UI/UX Design
Requirements become practical screens and user flows that make complex tasks easier to complete and keep the experience consistent.
Step 4
Development
We build the app, backend, APIs, admin dashboard, and integrations in reviewable stages according to the approved scope.
Step 5
Testing & Quality Assurance
Major workflows are tested before release. Issues are documented, corrected, and retested before production deployment.
Step 6
Client Review
Clients review the application against the agreed scope. We address applicable feedback and prepare the production version.
Step 7
Deployment
After approval, we prepare the app and backend for production and assist with Google Play or Apple App Store deployment where included.
Step 8
Support & Continuous Improvement
A maintenance or SLA arrangement can help the app evolve with its users, operating systems, technology, and business requirements.

02
You review working software instead of guessing from documents.
03
Feedback becomes the next sprint plan, keeping scope controlled.
Know the scope, budget and launch requirements
Before development, we turn the idea into an agreed release plan. A focused MVP usually takes around 4–8 weeks; a larger mobile platform needs its own phased estimate. Provider access, client feedback, data migration and store review can affect the launch date.
What the first release includes
Agree the main customer journey, admin tools, screens, integrations and acceptance criteria. Save secondary features for later.
A reviewable scope
Milestones and client reviews
A controlled pilot audience
What you will pay for
Separate development fees from hosting, providers, store accounts and optional support. Review changes against the agreed scope.
Development and running costs
Account and source-code ownership
Support and handover responsibilities
What needs access or approval
Plan Chapa and your business license, telecom OTP access, store enrollment and D-U-N-S preparation where required.

How much does mobile app development cost in Ethiopia?
The cost depends on platforms, design depth, backend features, integrations, offline behavior, admin dashboards, and launch support. Flutter or React Native can reduce duplicate effort when one shared codebase fits the product.
Do you build apps for both iOS and Android?
Yes! We build cross-platform apps using Flutter and React Native that run on both iOS and Android from a single codebase, or fully native apps when performance demands it.
Can you integrate Ethiopian payment systems?
Payment integrations can be assessed for the required providers after reviewing their APIs, account requirements, security controls, and settlement workflow.
How do you choose between native, Flutter, React Native, and a web app?
We compare your users' devices, required hardware access, offline needs, performance targets, release schedule, budget, and maintenance capacity before recommending a platform.
Who owns the app after launch?
The delivery plan should name the owners of source code, app-store accounts, production credentials, monitoring, support, and updates. We document those responsibilities before release.
What types of mobile applications does DreamTech develop?
We develop Android and iOS apps for startups, companies, institutions, and digital businesses, including e-commerce, ride-hailing, Equb, education, booking, delivery, marketplace, ERP-connected, internal business, and fully custom applications.
Can DreamTech develop the backend and admin dashboard too?
Yes. When included in the scope, we can deliver the mobile app, backend, database, APIs, web-based administration dashboard, integrations, and production infrastructure.
Can you connect an app with our ERP, website, or other business system?
Yes, if the existing platform offers suitable APIs or another supported integration method. We review access, data flows, security, and operational ownership before confirming the integration scope.
Can DreamTech take over an existing mobile application?
Yes. We first review its source code and infrastructure, then recommend whether to continue with the current codebase, upgrade it, or rebuild specific components.
Will I receive the source code?
Source-code ownership and handover are defined in the project agreement. For projects sold with full ownership, the agreed code and assets transfer after applicable contractual and payment requirements are completed.
Do you provide maintenance after launch?
Yes. Separate maintenance and SLA arrangements can cover bug fixes, updates, monitoring, compatibility, security maintenance, and ongoing support according to the required service level.
How long does mobile app development take?
A focused MVP usually takes around 4–8 weeks. Larger apps, multi-role platforms and complex integrations require a separate phased estimate. After reviewing your requirements, we provide estimated project stages, delivery milestones, dependencies and a release plan.
How will I review progress during development?
We agree review points and demonstrate working stages of the app. You can check the customer journey, admin tools and integrations against the agreed acceptance criteria before approving the next milestone. Feedback and scope changes are documented.
How do you test app quality and security?
Testing is scoped around the app's risks and main workflows: authentication, permissions, APIs, payment states, device compatibility, interrupted networks and performance. We agree release checks and resolve the identified launch-blocking issues before the pilot.
What should I prepare for payments, OTP and app-store launch?
For Chapa, the client needs a business license and suitable provider access. Ethio telecom or Safaricom OTP depends on the agreed provider setup. Google Play and Apple releases need client-owned developer accounts; organization enrollment may require D-U-N-S preparation. We plan these dependencies from Day 1 and record provider fees, approvals and responsibilities in the scope.

A build estimate connects screens to API operations, roles, data entities, business rules, notifications, device capabilities, administration, audit records, and external providers. Non-functional expectations for security, performance, availability, privacy, and maintainability are documented alongside features.
Release responsibility
The delivery plan names owners for Apple and Google accounts, certificates, production environments, domains, provider credentials, privacy information, store review responses, analytics, crash reporting, backups, and incident communication. Access is transferred through controlled organizational accounts.
Operational acceptance
Acceptance covers real-device scenarios, permissions, interrupted networks, account recovery, integration failures, administrative workflows, monitoring, restoration, and support handover. A product is ready when both end users and the operating team can complete their responsibilities reliably.
