Your own branded app · iPhone and Android
Your company's app,
Your company's app,
under your company's name.
Your staff app is published on the App Store and Google Play under your company's own name and icon. Your operatives download your app, not ours. It runs on Unibuild, bespoke business software for trades, in daily production since 2016.
In plain terms
A branded staff app is a firm’s own app on the App Store and Google Play, under its name and icon. Unibuild publishes one for every customer: UK trades and specialist contractors of 5 to 300 people, unlimited users inside one monthly figure, and a 14-day trial with no card.
What carries your name
From the store listing
From the store listing
to the poster at the gate.
The branding is not a logo dropped onto somebody else's product. Every surface your people and your clients touch is yours.
- The App Store and Google Play
- Your company name and your icon on the listing. An operative searches the store for the firm on his payslip and finds it.
- The phone itself
- Your icon on the home screen, beside his bank and his messages. 25+ modules inside, granted person by person, so each role sees only its own work.
- The QR posters at the gate
- One numbered poster per scan point, printed in your branding. The code is not a web address: only your app can read it, for a signed-in user.
- Labels on your kit
- Every asset carries its own QR label, branded to your firm. Scanning it in your app shows the test record and the service history.
- The office portal
- Your name, your logo and your colours on every screen the office works in.
- The paperwork
- Fifty-eight document types generate on your letterhead from what was captured on site: certificates, reports, quotations and day work sheets.
Try the app on your own phone in the demo, then ask for a figure.
Why it matters on site
An app from the employer
An app from the employer
is an app that gets opened.
An operative will open an app from his own employer without a second thought. The same holds for the agency worker at the gate and the client reading a certificate.
- Found in seconds
- Nobody has to be told the name of a software company. A new starter searches the store for the firm that employs him, installs it, signs in once and sets a four digit PIN.
- Agency labour, onboarded at the gate
- A temporary worker registers on his own phone, in your app, with his card number, expiry and photographs of both sides. He cannot sign in until somebody with authority approves him, and that approval is stamped with a name and a time.
- Your clients see your brand
- Certificates, reports and progress reach your clients under your name, through the client portal or a client app of their own. The software behind it stays out of the conversation.
- A group of companies
- Where a group runs several businesses, it can have one app across every company or one app per company. Each company issues its documents under its own name, logo and number sequences.

How it works
Your app, running on
Your app, running on
a platform proven since 2016.
- 01Published under your name
- Your staff app goes out on the App Store and Google Play under your company name and icon, set up as part of going live and included in the monthly fee at no extra cost. Nobody needs to know the Unibuild name to find it.
- 02Built around your process
- The forms inside it are your forms, in your words and your order. Anything new you need is built for you, and changes after go-live are inside the monthly fee. How bespoke works on Unibuild.
- 03Granted person by person
- Tick the modules a given engineer needs on his user record and his phone reflects it the next time he opens the app. No new release is needed to change what somebody sees.
- 04Kept current without a fleet update
- Every request carries the app version, and modules that need a newer build are simply not offered to older ones. A leaver is signed out of every device in the same operation that deactivates him.

Read the SME case studyIt has always been a pleasure to work with Darshan and his team to create our completely bespoke system, which I can only describe as brilliant.
The system is constantly growing and improving. Whenever we need something added or changed, whether it's a new form that would work better for us or a new idea to improve the way we work, Darshan works his magic and makes it happen!
It has genuinely changed the way we work for the better, improving our record-keeping, automating processes and standardising practices across the company, saving us both time and money.
It's also improved the service we provide to our clients, who love being able to view their job and asset information live, at the click of a button.
Thank you, Unibuild!
Questions
Your own branded app,
Your own branded app,
asked plainly.
Is this a custom-branded employee app?
Yes. Your staff app sits on the App Store and Google Play under your company’s name and icon, with your branding on every screen inside it. It is the field half of Unibuild, for UK trade firms of 5 to 300 people. It is working software from the first day, not a shell with a logo on it.
Does a branded app mean paying per user?
No. Unibuild includes unlimited users on every plan and is never priced per person or per seat. The fee is one flat monthly figure for the firm, and it covers everything. That includes the branded app, its App Store and Google Play publishing, and the subcontractor and client portals. It is quoted in writing, usually the same working day, and fixed for three years.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 14 days of the full platform, no card, with the staff app on real phones. Publishing the app under your own name on the stores is part of going live.
How long does it take to go live?
Most firms go live in about two weeks, in phases, and publishing the app under your name is part of that work. Modules are granted person by person afterwards, so nothing waits on a new release.
Is the app listed in the stores under our name?
Yes. The listing on the App Store and Google Play carries your company name and your icon. An operative searches the store for the firm they work for and finds it, without being told the name of a software company. This is standard for every Unibuild customer’s staff app, and publishing it is part of going live.
Can we see a customer’s app on the App Store?
Yes. SME Building Services’ field app is SME Smartsite on the App Store (opens in a new tab), under the firm’s own name and icon, with SME Building Services Ltd’s copyright line on the listing. Electrical & Mechanical Services (UK) Ltd runs EMS Maestro, on the App Store (opens in a new tab) and Google Play (opens in a new tab). C&G Heating & Plumbing Supplies gives its customers C&G Client Hub on Google Play, a client-facing app under the merchant’s own name. Each carries the customer’s name, icon and branding, and each was built by Unibuild.
Which firms run their own branded app on Unibuild?
Two featured examples. Electrical & Mechanical Services (UK) Ltd, a London temporary site services contractor, runs its field team on EMS Maestro, which sits on the stores under the EMS name. SME Building Services, a Croydon building services contractor, runs SME Smartsite, on the App Store under its own name and icon. Engineers at both firms clock in, get sheets signed by the client and raise orders in an app carrying their employer’s name. Read the EMS and SME case studies.
Which staffing software includes a branded mobile app?
Unibuild does, as standard: every customer’s staff app carries the customer’s own name and icon, and publishing it is inside the one monthly figure. For the people side, the app carries QR clock-in and timesheets, holiday requests, training records and RAMS signing. The HR records and the training matrix sit behind it in the office portal.
Do we have to build or maintain the app ourselves?
No. The app runs on the Unibuild platform, and Unibuild builds, releases and supports it. Your part is deciding which modules each person sees, which is a tick on the user record rather than a new release. Store publishing, support and the changes you ask for after go-live are all included in the monthly fee.
How do our operatives sign in?
Once with their details, then with a four-digit PIN. That suits gloves, rain and seven in the morning, and it lets a shared site tablet be used by several people who each sign in as themselves. Deactivating a leaver signs them out of every phone at once.
Does the app work on sites with no signal?
Yes. The app works online and offline. On a site with no signal, clock-ins are stored on the phone and synced with the office the moment it is back in signal. Nobody re-enters anything afterwards.
Do the forms inside it follow our process?
Yes. The forms inside it are your forms, in your words and your order. Anything new you need is built for you, and changes after go-live are inside the monthly fee. How bespoke works on Unibuild.
Does it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. The app is published for iOS and Android. In one deployment alone, handsets in real use span iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Motorola, OnePlus, vivo and ZTE, with 54 handsets reporting in July 2026.
Can our clients have an app with our branding too?
Yes, if you want one. The client app is a separate seventeen-module app under your brand, covering their projects, photographs, documents, asset registers and certificates. A client account never sees a staff screen. Plenty of firms run the client portal in the browser on its own.
We run several companies. Is it one app or one each?
Either. A group can have one app across every company or one app per company, decided with you as part of the setup. Each company issues its own quotations, invoices and certificates under its own name, logo and document number sequences. See running more than one company.
Can we have our own branded app for our trade or construction firm?
Yes. On Unibuild, your staff app is published on the App Store and Google Play under your company’s own name and icon, for iPhone and Android. Your operatives download your app, not a software vendor’s. It runs on Unibuild, bespoke business software for trades, in daily production since 2016, so the app is working software from the first day.
