APP CARE shipping was the beginning

Your app is live.Now people are actually using the thing.

Which means... someone will find a bug. Someone will ask for a feature. Something will need updating. Your business will change.

And at some point, somebody will say: "Could we just add this one tiny thing?" 😂

App Care gives you an ongoing technical team to maintain, improve and continue developing your software after launch.

software has a habit of doing this. (hover the requests)
before launch: "will they use it?"

Then real users show up.

Before launch, you're making educated guesses. After launch, you start getting answers.

People click things you didn't expect. Ignore things you thought they'd love. Ask for things you never considered. Find the one button nobody on your team thought to click. 😂

And the questions change. From "What should we build?" to "What should we build next?"

That's what App Care is for.

the inconvenient truth

Software keeps moving.

Browsers change.APIs change.Integrations change. Your business changes.Your customers change.Your team changes.

And hopefully... your product gets better. App Care gives you ongoing access to the Ercomai team so your software can change with everything around it.

the "can you just..." department

Keep it working. Keep making it better.

BUG #021 FIXED ✓

Bug Fixes

Something isn't behaving the way it should? We investigate and fix issues within the agreed App Care scope.

Small Improvements

Sometimes the difference between annoying and delightful is surprisingly small. Change a workflow. Improve a screen. Remove friction.

REQUESTED BUILDING SHIPPED ✓

New Features

Your users have spoken. Or your business has changed. We can continue adding agreed functionality as your product evolves.

Integrations

Need your product to start talking to another system? We can build and maintain agreed integrations where technically supported.

Performance

As your software grows, some areas may need optimisation. We can investigate and improve performance issues within the agreed scope.

Updates + Maintenance

Software dependencies and connected services don't stand still. Neither should your application.

Technical Support

When something happens, you have people who actually understand software to talk to. No frantic "does anybody know a developer?"

Ongoing Development

Sometimes you don't need maintenance — you need a team that keeps building, without treating every improvement like a new agency search.

keep ≠ freeze

We're not here just to keep the lights on.

Maintenance matters. But your product shouldn't spend the next three years preserved exactly as it looked on launch day.

Keep it healthy.

  • Bug fixes
  • Updates
  • Technical maintenance
  • Performance
  • Integrations
  • Support

Keep it moving.

  • Improvements
  • New workflows
  • New features
  • Product iterations
  • New integrations
  • Future versions

Because sometimes the most valuable thing we can do isn't fix what broke. It's build what comes next.

before anyone says "unlimited..."

Ongoing doesn't mean unlimited.

App Care gives you ongoing development capacity within an agreed plan. It does not mean:

Every request happens immediately
Every new product is included
A complete rebuild counts as maintenance
An entire second app is a "small feature" 😂

Before App Care begins, we agree on how the engagement works, what type of work is covered and how larger requests are handled. That keeps the service useful for you — and sane for everyone building it.

this might be you

App Care makes sense when...

You've just launched.

Your first users are coming in and you know V1 isn't the final version.

Your product is already growing.

You have software people use and a backlog that refuses to stop reproducing.

No internal dev team.

You need reliable technical capacity without immediately hiring a full engineering department.

You have developers, but need more capacity.

Your internal team has more work than time.

Your software runs part of your business.

It isn't necessarily a SaaS product — it may be an internal system your organisation depends on.

You're tired of finding a new developer every time something changes.

This one needs no explanation.

nope

We don't have to have built V1.

If Ercomai built your software, moving into App Care is straightforward. If somebody else built it, that's okay too.

But before we agree to maintain software we haven't worked on before, we need to understand what we're taking responsibility for.

Depending on the product, that may mean reviewing the existing application first. If everything looks sensible, great. If it needs attention before ongoing management makes sense... we'll tell you.

Choose the level of ongoing development and support your product actually needs. The right plan depends on:

How much development capacity you need
How quickly requests need to move
How complex the application is
Whether Ercomai built the product

How much technical support the product requires

V1 is called V1 for a reason

Just launched your MVP?

Great. Now you have something much more useful than opinions.

Usage.

You can see what people actually do. Then App Care gives you a way to turn what you learn into what you build next.

Before we keep building...

What is App Care?

App Care is Ercomai's ongoing development and maintenance service for live software. Depending on your plan and agreed scope, that can include bug fixes, improvements, new features, integrations, maintenance and continued product development.

Do you need to have built my app?

No. But we need to understand an inherited application before agreeing to take ongoing responsibility for it. In some cases, we'll recommend an App Rescue review first.

Is App Care unlimited?

No. App Care provides ongoing capacity within an agreed plan and scope. Larger projects or work outside that scope may be quoted separately.

How quickly do you complete requests?

That depends on the App Care plan, complexity and current agreed priorities.

Can you build new features?

Yes. Ongoing product development is one of the reasons App Care exists.

Can you fix bugs?

Yes, within the agreed scope.

What if something is urgent?

We'll define how urgent issues are handled within each App Care plan before the engagement begins.

Can App Care cover internal tools?

Yes. App Care isn't limited to customer-facing products. If your organisation depends on custom internal software, we can potentially maintain and continue developing that too.

Do you work with our existing development team?

Potentially, yes. App Care can supplement an internal team where roles, responsibilities and technical ownership are clearly defined.

Who owns new code and features you build?

You do.

Can I cancel?

We're finalising the commercial terms — get in touch and we'll walk you through the current agreement details.

there will always be a next thing

Your app isn't finished.

Good.

Because your business isn't finished either. Keep fixing. Keep learning. Keep improving. Keep shipping. We'll build with you.
