Mobile devices generate roughly 60 percent of global website traffic, according to Statista's mobile traffic reports.
Driver turnover at large truckload carriers has historically run near 90% a year, per the American Trucking Associations.
Tepia clients report roughly 20% revenue increase after adding mobile to an existing business.
Tepia has an office in Kansas City, Missouri, and serves the whole metro, including Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa and Leawood on the Kansas side, and Lee’s Summit, Independence and the Northland in Missouri, with Lawrence, Topeka and St. Louis within reach for milestone meetings. Tepia is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, with offices in Tampa, Pittsburgh, Austin and Las Vegas, and has spent thirteen years building software for operators and IT leaders.
Kansas City companies often come to Tepia for a mobile app and leave with a system. Tepia builds web applications in React with Node.js, .NET or Python backends, native and cross platform mobile apps in Swift, Kotlin, React Native or Flutter, PostgreSQL databases, cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure or GCP, and integrations with the ERPs, CRMs, accounting and telematics systems that Kansas City businesses already run. Tepia also adds AI features with OpenAI and Anthropic model APIs and retrieval augmented generation over company data.
Leadership is US based: Abraham Agopian, Founder and CEO; Dustin Gordon, Director of Operations; Brianna Martison, Director of Engineering; and Fahad Baig, Technical Lead Manager. A project manager is assigned to every Kansas City engagement.
Kansas City sits at the center of the country, at the crossing of I-35 and I-70, with one of the largest rail hubs in North America and major intermodal and distribution parks on both sides of the metro. Freight carriers, 3PLs, distributors and manufacturers here need driver apps, dispatch and routing tools, warehouse and inventory systems, customer portals and integrations with transportation management and ERP systems. Tepia’s logistics, fleet, delivery and warehouse work, and the Maximum Controls project spanning iOS, Android and an admin portal, map directly onto these needs.
The region is also a significant center for agriculture and animal health along the corridor from Manhattan to Columbia, for engineering and architecture firms, for financial services and payments processing, and for healthcare systems and health IT. Tepia’s HIPAA aware architecture, shown in the Water Saver Solutions app for hospitals, and its SOC 2 aligned practices and PCI DSS scoping serve these industries.
Kansas City’s manufacturing base, from automotive assembly to food production, needs shop floor tools, quality and maintenance apps and IoT integration. Kansas City also has a large church and ministry community, and Tepia built the Daily Hope app for Pastor Rick Warren’s ministry audience. Tepia supports the local startup community and the home services trades that have outgrown off the shelf platforms.
Tepia’s model is US led with individually sourced global talent. Project management, design leadership and engineering leadership are in the United States, and engineers are hand picked for each project and work in US overlapping hours, so a Central time business day is fully covered.
Kansas City clients meet Tepia in person for Discovery workshops, design reviews, user acceptance testing and Training, at the Tepia Kansas City office or at your location anywhere in the metro. Weekly status calls run on video with a shared project board. For St. Louis, Wichita, Columbia and Des Moines, Tepia travels for milestone meetings and runs the rest remotely.
Every Tepia project follows six phases. Discovery (typically 1 to 3 months) covers system investigation of your current software, user interviews with drivers, warehouse staff, clinicians or office teams, and third party integration review. Deliverables are an Investigation Summary, an Interview Summary and User Stories. Design produces a design questionnaire, moodboards, a style guide, detailed wireframes and sample designs.
Development and Testing runs on Alpha and Beta schedules with written test plans for functional, user acceptance and non functional testing, including offline first sync for apps used in yards, warehouses and rural routes. Training uses in person sessions in Kansas City and remote sessions built on user story scenarios. Launch covers data migration, transition from the old system and Tepia support reps on rollout.
