Selected projects

A selection of the software Mindrops has designed and engineered for clients.

Quick Commerce · Logistics

RocketZone — Rider Delivery App

A custom Android rider app with real-time order assignment, Google Maps navigation, COD collection tracking, returns and exchange pickups, and delivery proof.

Designed, built, tested and deployed between January and June 2026.

IoT · Instruments

Easydens by Anton Paar

Mindrops chose right-fit tooling, fast-tracked development, tested across iOS and Android devices and supported App Store submission, then post-launch monitoring.

Shipped on time across iPhone, iPad and Android, to the satisfaction of Anton Paar’s Easydens team.

AI · Invoice Automation

Ethanol Manufacturer — Invoice Platform

A mobile-first platform with a web admin portal where OCR and AI read six fields from each invoice and a person confirms every record before it is saved.

100% of invoices are confirmed by a person before saving, producing a governed, searchable record from the very first upload.

E-commerce app development services

Mindrops designs and engineers mobile shopping apps for iOS and Android — catalogue, search, cart, checkout, payments and re-engagement — native or cross-platform. Each app shares a backend with the client’s web store or connects to its ERP and inventory, and is built for performance, retention and scale.

Native & cross-platform

Native Swift and Kotlin, or one Flutter or React Native codebase for both stores — recommended against your shoppers, budget and features.

Catalogue & search

Product data structured for real ranges — variants, collections, specifications — with fast search and filtering.

Checkout & payments

Short checkout with cards, UPI, wallets, netbanking and cash on delivery through gateways such as Razorpay, Stripe and PayPal.

Accounts, loyalty & push

Order history and tracking, wishlists, offers, loyalty mechanics and push notifications that bring buyers back.

Backend, admin & integrations

Admin for catalogue, pricing, orders and returns, connected to your web store, ERP, inventory and logistics so data stays in sync.

Store launch & analytics

Play Store and App Store listings, signing and release management, plus funnel and retention analytics after launch.

Who a shopping app is for

Brands with repeat buyers

D2C and retail brands whose customers reorder often and respond to push offers, saved carts and loyalty rewards.

Stores adding a mobile channel

Businesses with a Shopify, Magento or custom web store that want an app on the same catalogue, cart and orders, managed in one system.

Grocery & quick-commerce operators

High-frequency ordering that depends on real-time inventory, location-based delivery and order tracking customers check minute by minute.

B2B & wholesale sellers

Trade buyers who reorder from the field and need account pricing, bulk ordering and order history on their phone.

Why Mindrops for commerce apps

One backend for app and web
The app shares catalogue, cart and order logic with your web store, or connects to it through APIs, so stock, prices and orders are never managed twice.
Delivery and operations apps
Mindrops built the delivery side of quick commerce for RocketZone: a native Android rider app with real-time order assignment, COD tracking and returns pickups. See the case study.
Ownership of store accounts and code
Apps are published on your own Play Store and App Store accounts, first submissions are made with your team, and source for apps, backend and admin is handed over.
Native or cross-platform decision
The choice between native and a single Flutter or React Native codebase is made against your shoppers, budget and feature list, and the reasoning is written into the proposal.

Food delivery ecosystem

Customer, restaurant-partner and rider apps, an admin panel and a marketing website for a pure-vegetarian delivery service, built from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

What is e-commerce app development?
It is the design and engineering of mobile shopping apps — catalogue, search, cart, checkout, payments and re-engagement — for iOS and Android, native or cross-platform. Mindrops builds commerce apps that share a backend with the client’s store or connect to its ERP and inventory.
Should a shopping app be native or cross-platform?
Cross-platform with Flutter or React Native usually ships both apps from one codebase for less; native Swift and Kotlin suit peak performance or platform-specific UX. Mindrops recommends one based on your shoppers, budget and features.
Can the app connect to our existing store, ERP or inventory?
Yes. The app can share a backend with an existing Shopify, Magento or custom web store, or connect to ERP, inventory, accounting and CRM systems through APIs or middleware, so stock, prices and orders stay in sync.
Which payment methods can a shopping app support?
Cards, UPI, netbanking, wallets and cash on delivery through gateways such as Razorpay, Stripe and PayPal, with refunds and settlement reporting wired in. Multi-currency support is added where the business sells across markets.
How does an app drive repeat purchases?
Through push notifications, saved carts, offers, loyalty mechanics and a fast checkout, measured with funnel and retention analytics so what works gets more of the next release.
Who owns the app and its store listings?
The client does. Apps are published on the client’s own Play Store and App Store accounts wherever possible, and the complete source code for apps, backend and admin is handed over.
Can Mindrops build the web store too?
