App developer in North Haven, CT.
Looking for an app developer in North Haven, CT? NilaSoft.dev builds apps for owner-run businesses here, in New Haven and in nearby towns. Maybe you have an app idea. Maybe there's a job your customers or staff still do by phone, paper or email. We start with a free discovery call, so you know what the app should do before anything gets built.
Who it's for
We work with owner-run businesses in and around New Haven. You don't need a tech team or a finished plan. You need one of two things.
An app idea you can't build yourself. You know what it should do. You don't know where to start.
A job that eats your week. Customers order by voicemail. Staff track work on paper. Someone retypes the same details from an email into a spreadsheet.
If either sounds familiar, you're in the right place. A custom app for a small business should do one job well, and the discovery call tells us which job that is.
Apps we build
We build small, focused apps, one workflow at a time. Each one is part of our custom software for small businesses.
Ordering apps for your customers
Your customers order from their phone, at any hour. The order lands ready to use. Nobody decodes a voicemail or keys it in again.
Booking and scheduling apps
Customers pick a time that's actually open. Your team sees the day in one place, not in a paper book and a string of texts.
Apps for your own team
Tracking, pick lists and checklists your staff carry in their pocket. The work gets done the same way every time, and you can see where it stands.
iPhone, Android and web
A mobile app developer should pick platforms for your users, not for themselves. PactoDistro's customer app is free on iPhone and Android. On the discovery call, we decide with you whether yours belongs on phones, on the web or on both.
We also build a private AI assistant for small teams.
An app we built: PactoDistro
PactoDistro is a NilaSoft.dev product, our own app.
It's an ordering app for wholesale distributors and their customers. In PactoDistro's own words, customers "order from their phone, any hour, at their own prices." The distributor gets "a clean order that's ready to pick, not a voicemail to decode."
It started with real problems, not a feature wish list. PactoDistro's feature list "began as a list of complaints: baskets rebuilt from price sheets, voicemail orders re-keyed before seven, price disputes with no record to settle them."
Here's what answers that list:
- Customers get an app with the distributor's logo and colors.
- The office gets one place to see every order. Nobody re-types the order.
- The warehouse gets pick lists in the order it walks.
- Repeat orders take three steps: open, adjust, submit.
- The app comes in ten languages, from English to Turkish, and follows each customer's phone.
The customer app is free on iPhone and Android as Order Pacto. See Order Pacto on the App Store and Order Pacto on Google Play, or read how the PactoDistro app works.
PactoDistro is new, so there's no case study here yet. We'd rather show you what it does than claim results it hasn't earned.
A look inside PactoDistro, from the customer app to the office:
Browse the catalog by category. 
Pick a quantity and add it to the cart. 
Order the same again, or adjust it first.
Coming soon: DramDrop
DramDrop started as an owner's app idea with no way to build it. We're taking it from market research to an app shaped by real customer feedback. Coming soon. Read about DramDrop and the other builds under way.
How an app project runs
Every project follows the same four steps. Here's how a project runs, step by step.
Free discovery call. We talk through the job you want the app to do and tell you plainly what it would take.
One fixed quote. One workflow, one finish line. No payment is due before you've read the quote and said yes.
Setup. We build in small steps and show you working pieces as we go, and the app runs on your real work before we call it done.
Check-in. You get the guide, the training and 30 days of fixes, included.
When you don't need an app
Sometimes an app is the wrong fix. If a simpler fix works, we'll tell you. A better checklist, a cleaner spreadsheet or a tool you already own can do the job.
Want to check on your own first? Try the free Fix-First Check. It's five steps, in order, to try before anyone builds anything.
