Totali has experience with FileMaker databases, SQLite and mySQL, we can interface your iPhone application with a range of backend databases, so your business data can be with you while you are mobile.
Take your business mobile with iPhone Apps
By developing your own iPhone application, you can add value to your customers by having your company data on hand, imagine being onsite at a customers premises, to be able to tell which products they are about to run out of, and ETA of replacement stocks. If your on-the-ground personnel could have live access to your ERP system, they can give fast accurate information to your customers, and provide better customer service as a result.
Totali wants to hear about your business application
We are only interested in building business applications for enterprise. We have a load of our own monetized applications which we work on in our spare time, but we're not able to build an application on a profit share basis - we ask that you keep your ideas to yourselves, as we get many requests for my 'great iPhone application' idea, that we're just not able to reply - we're not interested in profit sharing. If you're looking for an internal company application, or want to develop a free application (where we provide the development at our standard rates), we are happy to help.
Native iPhone Applications
There are two kinds of iPhone applications: Web-based and Native. Web Apps combine the iPhones Multi-Touch technology with Safari web-based interfaces (built in HTML, JavaScript and CSS with additional functionality provided by your language of choice: PHP, Java, etc.), by Totali (Tauranga, New Zealand), while Native Apps are designed and developed in Apples Xcode software using the Objective-C language by software developers in New Zealand or Australia, such as Totali Limited.
Native Apps can only be developed by software developers in Tauranga (like Totali), in the Objective-C language on an Apple Macintosh using Apples free Xcode IDE (integrated development environment). To debug your Native Apps, you can run them in the iPhone Simulator or configure your actual iPhone as a development device for testing, which is how Totali in Tauranga develop iPhone applications.
iPhone Web Applications
Web Apps can be developed on any platform, but if you do so on a Mac, youll have access to Apples excellent Dashcode IDE and iPhone Simulator (a full version of the iPhone OS running as a desktop application), to debug your application.
Safari is Apples web browser based on the WebKit engine, and the Safari Dev Center provides Safari Development Videos, a Reference Library, Technical Articles, Coding How-Tos and Sample Code to enable iPhone OS integration, visual effects, client-side storage and offline applications for Safari-based Web App development.
Web Apps are hosted on web servers such as those Totali run and maintain, and are not distributed through the App Store, however Apple does have an online listing of Web Apps to tell the world about your iPhone software.
