During these times when the coronavirus negatively affects almost every aspect of our lives, as well as shutting down businesses and companies and stopping important projects from progressing, we at moblers have come out with a special new pricing plan to help companies and businesses build their digital products. We will develop for them an application, a chatbot, or any other digital product their business needs, in the highest professional technical standards, and in particularly favorable terms of payment.
Now it’s possible! A new pricing plan will allow businesses to advance into the digital world at a reduced cost and in a relatively short time.
The long-standing Israeli development company moblers harnesses the plight of businesses in these days of coronavirus pandemic and launches a unique and exclusive pricing plan that enables the development of a digital product (applications, smart chatbot, website, software, etc.) at a reduced cost and in a relatively short time. This pricing plan will allow companies and businesses that have difficulty developing digitally during the pandemic due to high development costs, receive a discount, and especially favorable conditions to bounce their business into the digital era with a professional product tailored to their specific needs and developed with the highest technological standards.
The new pricing plan will charge a reduced fee for development and support services at a fixed monthly cost for 12 months.
Moblers was founded 14 years ago by Guy Doron, co-owner and CEO. Guy has over 20 years of experience in software development, including 13 years in mobile and digital products.
He was later joined by Leead Durban as co-owner, operations, and product manager of the company. Leead has over 20 years of experience in product management. For the past 12 years he has been lecturing at Ariel University on mobile applications, mHealth, and the digital revolution.
Over the years, moblers have won many awards in Israel and abroad, and its customers include the global sports app scores 365, the work tools company Stanley Black & Decker, the American Edu company Chegg, the Ukrainian airline company UIA and more…
moblers awards in mobile, web, and software development say a lot about the company, but our customers say more. Thinking of them made us come up with our new attractive pricing plan, and thanks to their feedback and reviews on Clutch, we have been listed among the top developers in Israel for the second year in a row!
Following the huge traction that we are getting, and understanding our clients’ needs and limitations, moblers just launched a unique payment plan: clients pay only for service and support on a monthly basis and with no extra app development fees!
The cost of creating a Digital Product can be quite expensive, mostly because of the actual product development that usually requires a few months of a Development Team’s Work. We see many companies compromising too much because of development cost, that eventually their products fail. We do not want our clients to compromise on making a good impression with drop-dead app designand killer performance so it’s our goal to make our top-notch, award-winning, professional development work accessible more than ever, as well as help, reduce the high-cost barrier – so this is how and why we came up with the new special pricing model that lets us offer a monthly recurring flat fee covering only the Maintenance and Support cost of the developed product.
Please note that not every development project will qualify for this new exclusive payment program. We encourage anyone who is seeking to develop a mobile app, a chatbot, an IoT connected device, a website, software, or any other digital application to contact moblers and check if our top professionals can develop your project for no cost.
We are thrilled to have been highlighted again by Clutch for our hard work in the app development space. Clutch is a B2B ratings and reviews website that showcases the projects and skills of great companies like us. Their site is home to industry directories filled with in-depth, case study-like interviews conducted by a team of experienced business analysts.
“moblers is excited to be featured again, for the second year in a row, as a leading development company. We thank our partners and clients for recognizing moblers as the best choice when it comes to developing digital products that bring results beyond expectations.” / Guy Doron- CEO, moblers.

Thank you, Clutch, for awarding us this distinction once again! As a company, our biggest source of pride is the customer satisfaction that awards like this represent. If you are looking to get your idea off the ground and want a mobile app or chatbot to do it, reach out to us! We would love to hear from you!
Do you know what’s common between successful apps like Twitter, Spotify, Airbnb?
They were all primarily launched as Minimum Viable Products (MVP).
So what are MVPs, and why are they so crucial for an app’s success?
MVPs refer to basic versions of mobile/chat-bot/software applications that are developed and launched only with their core value offerings, on a trial basis.
It’s like a demo version of a game.
Once favorable feedback is received from the target consumer market, it’s then that the full version of the app is launched with all its functionalities.
As of today, launching your app primarily as an MVP can be considered as the safest option, something that won’t blow a hole in your pocket, especially with the increasing number of new mobile app ventures failing these days.
Where do Moblers come in?
With, Moblers you can be absolutely carefree, when it comes to developing your MVP, without even spending a single penny.

From ancient Greece to mobile product planning , the issue lingers. A fundamental requirement in the planning process of a mobile product is to know your product. This is a philosophical question in its essence; quite similar to “know yourself” which is an ever-lasting always evolving process. Putting the philosophical aspects aside, the clearer you see your product, your core, your differentiation, and your positioning, the better chance you have to attract users and become successful.
Knowing your product serves:
Your product – it is a mature product with less distractions
Your project – the project becomes easier to manage once the product is clear
Your time – with less uncertainty and last minute realizations, the shorter time it takes until your product hits the market
Your financials – a well thought and well specified product costs less to develop and is less likely to cause costly surprises
Your potential customers – they get a service they know what to do with that answers a need they have
Short recap
If you haven’t read the previous article, Tagged is an imaginary start-up to showcase the points covered by the series of these articles by mobers. Tagged service is next gen electronics and appliances insurance service. You get a quick price quote based on the devices you own, and when time comes you get an instant fixing or replacement service.
The imaginary product definition meeting
Because Tagged is an imaginary start-up, let’s assume we had an imaginary product definition meeting. The experienced team immediately started to bring up ideas to make our service one that will make an impact. We want to simplify the process, to streamline the user through the initial acquisition with no keys pressed. The user will also be able to get a real-time indication to where nearby service providers are located, to track the progress on devices they sent for fixing, and so on. Less than an hour in the meeting we already wanted real-time video processing to identify which devices need to be included, an automated scan of device and model (OCR), location based service, ticketing system with real-time tracking including GIS, and more.
The imaginary team of the imaginary start-up Tagged is obviously very knowledgeable about technologies and industry standards but the one hour meeting could eventually cost the company about 4 times the price of the actual product we need to launch with many potential pitfalls, hurdles, and time spent.
Do we really need this!?
If the product path is clear, we can easily clean all the clutter and see that our product is not about the automatic acquisition and automated pricing process. We are also not in the service ticket and item tracking business as well. The decisions about the MVP (minimum viable product) will be discussed on another article but the mindset is already demonstrated in this paragraph. If we maintain our focus on the essence of the service we can weed out many “nice to have” features that somehow get communicated by mistake as “must have” requirements. Our initial product can require people to manually choose devices and models to get the price quote and based on our mandatory SLA we can inform customers with a timer the latest date on which they should get their device fixed. We do not really need to implement the video acquisition and processing, the OCR, the GIS, the ticket tracking mechanism etc.
It was done before
I am sure the software wizards at Tagged could do a great job but there are companies who specialize in specific products and technologies and offer off the shelf services, libraries and API for many functionalities. There are OCR libraries, GIS components, and many other elements we specified that were developed and also are being maintained by specializing companies and groups. Our engineers will never be able to perform their Tagged related tasks, and still produce better results than products that are owned by specialized companies. It is not just a matter of ability but more of a price performance ratio. We do not want to specialize in OCR and we are not able to capitalize on the potential revenues from this development so no reason to put our efforts in that direction. This is obviously just an example that shows how easy it is to avoid complex projects being tangled by taking too many tasks and challenges that are not mandatory to our solution.
Know your competition
You can utilize the information you collect on your competition to better understand what your focus should be and therefore better identifying your core value and the core of your product. Nevertheless, remember, if your competition targets the same market with a similar approach, your product should resemble in some ways their product. You should be able to distinguish your product from theirs and you should have your own “angle” but the majority of the core elements will probably be very close. This can be used as a test because in most cases if your core product seems to be doing the same things (maybe differently) than what your competition does, your core is relevant to the market. That is a very important statement to be able to say about a product in its planning phase.
Manage priorities
Prioritization of elements in your product is also a valuable tool to distinguish between your core and your features. Your core can never be prioritized as something else than must have. If you remove from your initial product everything that is not must have, you are very close to release a coherent clear product that involves less risk. In order to reduce risk in implementation, make sure in the prioritization process you dedicate a column per each element or feature to the risks and costs (resource based) involved. The risks will assist you to plan ahead and overcome potential challenges that may rise.
The enlightenment
Becoming featureless means you do not develop or maintain features. At the early stages of your product, features carry with them risks and costs and also distract you from perfecting your core service or product. The essence of your service is your core, it is not comprised of features, this is your engine this is one unit that is crucial for your goal. The challenge is to truly identify what this core is for your company / product. When you concentrate on only building this unit you do not burden yourself caring about features and you become featureless which is as close to product enlightenment as possible. You are required to leave the emotional sentiments aside and really strip your product to its bare bones in order to achieve this state.
The guidelines to become featureless
This is not easy to do but I will try to provide a list of steps that can be used to remove features and become featureless.
Bring perspective to your product specification meetings. The addition of business development professionals, financial professionals and other perspective less directly connected to the product will probably challenge your perception and assist you to reduce less important features.
Ask yourself what your people do the best. Your product should be within these strengths or you should rehire.
Ask yourself what happens if you remove each feature, if the system cannot work without it, this is not a feature it is part of your core.
Make a research on existing solutions that can be used in your product. If you find companies that offer these abilities and are not direct competitors, good chance these are features and that you should not spend resources developing them.
Make a weekly or even bi-weekly assessment of feature list and prioritization. Remove every feature that is not must have. Don’t worry, if you made a mistake and removed a crucial part, it will reappear very soon.
Try to make the “technology free” version of the service that provides the same value to your customers (minus the efficiency or other aspects that were achieved through the use of technology). Your product definition should correspond directly with the offline version. In most cases everything that is not aligned with the offline version is a feature.
Our innovation team at moblers is very skilled in isolating products and find the essence of the product. We are good at it because we have done it dozens of times with many customers and many products. With time, we became more aware of standard distractions and leeching features and with each new project we handle, we improve this ability.
Hello world is usually the first application developers code in a new language they learn. When it comes to choosing your audience, hello world actually means the death of your project in most cases. Targeting the WORLD has its costs and challenges that are usually too big for any new project to handle.
Several years ago I was invited to lecture to mobile operator employees about innovation in the mobile market. I asked the HR manager about the background of the participants and I was told they are engineers from the R&D department. The lecture I prepared focused on the future of mobile technologies, devices, peripherals, connectivity, proximity, content, and the role of these technologies to enable new mobile services. Long story short, I never used the lecture I worked on because the participants were the CRM and billing engineers of the company. Needless to say this is not the audience to hear the lecture I prepared. I had to transform the lecture to an open discussion about future challenges of mobile operators’ IT departments. Of course you do not need me to tell you to make sure your service has an audience and that it fits its needs. When planning a mobile service the definition of adjusting your service to the relevant audience has a much broader impact than just its relevance. The decision on the service audience has a direct impact on expenses, operations, technological challenges, and other aspects. Based on the targeted audience, you are required to choose the product specification, the supported OS, the devices, the geography etc.
Working on strategy and innovation at moblers, my work is basically to incubate new projects and to meet potential clients and partners. I don’t use a reference handbook but there are questions I ask every company I meet with in order to get the feel of the market, of the service, and of the team. So when I ask them about their initial targeted audience I hear too many times the answer “global, everybody needs our service”. If I care about the company and the team, I recommend them to read this book:
(source: http://orig13.deviantart.net)
It is good to have big dreams and I really wish everybody I meet with that their dreams come true but unless you have unlimited resources, you should make sure you target an audience you can actually support and provide good value to. This is the essence of this article and although it seems trivial, many companies are tempted to feel they are so good, they don’t need to focus.
In order to demonstrate the mistakes companies make in choosing their audience, I bring you “Tagged”. Tagged is the imaginary start-up I created for this article. Our product is simple, use our app and your smartphone camera to “tag” every home appliance and consumer electronics you own. You get a detailed list of your devices and the price we charge to insure them. This is not the standard theft or fire insurance but a supplementary service of fixing electric malfunction. We work with local technicians who registered with us and they fix the devices in accordance to a simple clear SLA.
Basically, “Tagged” audience is huge, do you know anyone who doesn’t have any devices!? So before we do the mistake and state that we want to target everybody, here are some points to consider.
Your service is only a list of features based on assumptions and some research. Yes, I am sure many of your friends, your family, and even people you asked on the street told you great stuff about your planned service. You never know what your service should be until you actually have a product and you test it in the market. The kind of feedback you get from actual users who actually use your service is the only real feedback that you need in order to shape your product.
Is the cost of insurance (the cost of fixing * statistical probability of malfunction + your fee) the same on a global perspective?
Is it a cultural property to insure home appliances and consumer electronics? Is it a cultural tendency to fix rather than buy new products?
What is the capacity you can handle of the listed service providers? (you need to verify all is working well)
Can you enforce the SLA which is the way YOUR clients are treated by the service provider?
[If your audience only virtually “with you” on your product, their feedback has only virtual worth to your product.] (image from: http://cl.jroo.me)
The list of questions gets longer the more you truly think about the viability of such a wide audience. The answers should aid you in getting your real initial target audience which in most cases should be very small and very relevant.
Concept vs. real product
Because your product is likely to change (a lot) after its launch, managing a complex project of continuous development for iOS and Android is very problematic. The better options you should take are either develop the application on a hybrid framework to get the mvp to the market or choose one OS to start with. [Wait, don’t say that you need it to be slick and on both OS, we are not talking about your final product. One thing I can advise you is to stabilize the product and only then with that perspective implement your final product the way you want. Your product will be a patchwork and managing the project with two unstable versions and feature lists will always be more expensive and more risky]. The choice between Hybrid or just one OS is based on your product and your audience’s demographics. In the case of Tagged, the choice will probably be a hybrid app because we do need to work with both OS and we do not need features that will be problematic to implement. The audience is not young users (they don’t own the devices) so there is no need to have rich graphical user interface or the quick response they are used to.
Get feedback
Your audience should be the type of audience that can provide you with significant honest and prompt response. You want the audience to be almost a captive audience, the kind that needs your product and feels dedicated to assist you with insight and suggestions. In the case of Tagged, it is logical to get an audience where Tagged personnel can access by car in order to monitor or assist when relevant.
[make sure your initial audience stays with you and provides you with feedback] (image from: http://captionwit.com/ )
Learn from Icarus
Make sure you expose your initial immature product to audience that will not have a dramatic impact on your reputation. The initial audience is the sand box in which you test your assumptions so make sure they don’t “burn” your name and influence your potential growth with the mature product. Tagged, as an example, should address a local suburban area and make sure there are no residents who are close to the subject and may have access to significant media exposure.
Be cautious
Choose an accessible audience and market that you can easily help or fill the gaps for in time of need. Your product and your procedures get tested for the first time and are most likely to experience difficulties so choose an audience that lets you monitor these situations and fix them. Be with your audience when things break and have the resources, the creativity, and the agility to assure things still operate. Tagged, for example, needs to be launched in a place where there are enough technicians or even Tagged own technician can easily assist if needed. Tagged also needs to be able to change servers easily and get support in Tagged office hours so the audience should be in a close timezone for instance. There are more byproducts to this direction but I hope you got the idea.
Allow yourself to improvise
This is very general and dependent on your type of service but it fits most services. You need to be able to have alternatives for components in your product. Choose the audience that uses the service in an ecosystem that is familiar to you. Tagged for example needs to operate in a place its management knows of electricity technicians, insurance companies, investors, and device models in order to be able to alternate resources and evolve according to the feedback.
The summarized advice
The above points are summarized only to make them more accessible to readers but there is a lot more to say about each of them and many more elements that should direct towards the right audience. Every influencing factor you consider will serve you in isolating the targeted audience you should approach. There are many companies who only use a single factor of product relevance but they usually suffer from the lack of planning when they need to face the outcome of the lack of focus. Make sure you think thoroughly about your targeted audience and choose exactly the kind of audience that fits your service and your circumstances. You will find that the right choice can really be the difference between failure and success.
Knowing your audience in the planning phase provides you with valuable input to the process and allows you to plan effectively. Follow the next article in the series to avoid another common mistake many companies and entrepreneurs do with mobile apps development.
