Tepia builds custom mobile apps for Houston energy, industrial, field service and healthcare companies from Austin.
Tepia builds custom mobile apps, web portals and integrations for Houston energy, industrial, field service and healthcare companies from its Austin, TX office, with in person kickoffs in Houston and all meetings in Central time.
Every Tepia build runs through six phases, Discovery, Design, Development and Testing, Training, Launch and Support, with a milestone at each stage.

Google's own research found 53% of mobile visitors abandon a page that takes more than three seconds to load.
McKinsey reports that about 70% of digital transformation programs fall short of their goals, usually on adoption rather than code.
Tepia clients report apps averaging 4.5 stars on the App Store and Google Play, a public signal of products people keep using.
Houston’s software needs are shaped by work that happens far from a desk. Oil and gas operators, oilfield services firms, petrochemical plants along the Ship Channel, industrial contractors, and one of the largest medical complexes in the world all depend on people in the field, on a site or on a ward doing work the office needs to track. Add a large home services market spread across Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties, and you have a city where mobile software is operational infrastructure, not a marketing channel.
Tepia serves Houston from its Austin office, under three hours away. Kickoffs, site visits and training can happen in person in Houston, and every status call and demo runs in Central time. Tepia has built custom software for thirteen years and is known for disciplined, retention driven engineering rather than volume.
Tepia runs six phases on every project: Discovery, Design, Development and Testing, Training, Launch and Support. The Tepia process page describes each in full. For an industrial or field app in Houston, the phases look like this.
A system investigation of what you run today, user interviews with field crews, supervisors and back office staff, and a third party integration review covering ERP, telematics, sensors and accounting. Deliverables are an Investigation Summary, an Interview Summary and User Stories. Discovery typically takes 1 to 3 months, shorter with existing specs.
Design questionnaire, moodboards, style guide, detailed wireframes and sample designs. Tepia designs for the conditions the app lives in: rugged devices, gloves, glare and intermittent connectivity.
Alpha and Beta schedules with written test plans covering functional, user acceptance and non functional testing, including offline first sync, push notifications and load. Development and QA typically take 2 to 6 months.
Hands on training in person in Houston or remote, using user story scenarios drawn from your own jobs. Launch includes data migration, transition from the old system and Tepia support reps on rollout, about 1 month.
Tepia is US led with individually sourced global talent. Your project manager, design lead and engineering lead are US based. Engineers are hand picked for your project, named on the team, and work in hours that overlap with Central time. Tepia does not rotate anonymous developers through your codebase.
The meeting rhythm is a kickoff in Houston or over video, a weekly status call in Central business hours, and sprint demos of working software. Between calls you have a shared backlog, a written changelog and direct access to your project manager. Dustin Gordon, Director of Operations, and Brianna Martison, Director of Engineering, are reachable for escalation.
For industrial clients, the practical payoff is accountability. When a safety inspector at a plant reports a sync issue, the Tepia engineer who owns that code is awake, reachable and able to reproduce it during your working day. Tepia clients report about 90% customer retention, which reflects how those relationships hold up after launch.
Tepia builds in Swift and SwiftUI, Kotlin, React Native or Flutter depending on the product, with Node.js, .NET or Python backends on AWS, Azure or GCP, and integrates through REST and GraphQL APIs.
