Straight answers before you get started.
Cost depends on what the app needs to do, how many users it serves, and which systems it connects to. A focused internal tool costs far less than a full customer-facing platform with payments and accounts. We scope every Sterling Heights project up front so you know the investment before any work begins, with no surprise line items later.
Most projects run from a few weeks for a focused tool to several months for a complete platform. We start with a discovery phase to map your goals, then build in stages so you see progress along the way. You will have a clear timeline before we begin, and we keep you updated at every milestone.
Both. We build web apps that run in any browser, mobile apps for iOS and Android, and progressive web apps that work like both. The right choice depends on how your Sterling Heights customers or team will actually use it, and we help you decide during discovery instead of guessing.
Yes. Many Sterling Heights manufacturers and suppliers along Mound Road run on existing ERP, inventory, or scheduling software, and a custom app can connect to those systems through their APIs. We map your current tools first so the new app strengthens your operation rather than creating another silo.
Yes, completely. You own the code, the data, and the accounts it runs on, and we hand everything over so you are never dependent on us to keep operating. We believe in ownership and partnership, so you stay with Fivenson because the work earns it.
We do. Software needs maintenance to stay secure, fast, and compatible as devices and platforms change. We offer ongoing support plans for Sterling Heights clients, and we can also train your team to manage day-to-day updates if you prefer to handle them in house.
It can. Custom apps are well suited to tracking, documentation, and reporting workflows that off-the-shelf tools handle poorly. We build with security and data integrity in mind, which matters for the defense and automotive suppliers that anchor the Sterling Heights economy. We will scope your specific requirements during discovery.
Often, yes. If your team spends hours on scheduling, follow-up, inventory, or manual data entry, an app can give that time back and add real capacity. For many Sterling Heights retailers and service businesses, even a simple custom tool pays for itself by removing repetitive work.
We start with discovery to understand your goals, users, and existing systems, then move to design, build, testing, and launch. You review and approve work at each stage, so the final app reflects what your business actually needs. After launch we support, measure, and refine so the app keeps earning its keep.
Yes. We partner with businesses across Macomb County and the wider metro Detroit area, including Warren, Utica, and Clinton Township. Working locally means we understand the industries and customers you serve, and we are close enough to meet in person when a project calls for it.

Sterling Heights's business community runs deep. The corridors along Woodward Avenue, Michigan Avenue, Grand River are active, and the industries driving most of the local economy (Automotive, Tech, Healthcare, Manufacturing) are all competing for the same customers online. Most of those searches start the same way: someone types what they need into Google and picks from the first few results. Where does your business show up right now?
We have helped businesses across Macomb County climb from page two to page one and into the Google Map Pack. If you are serious about growing your search visibility in Sterling Heights, we are a good fit.
From Central Sterling Heights, South Sterling, and North Sterling to the corridors along Mound Road and Van Dyke, Sterling Heights businesses each compete in their own corner of the local market. The Sterling Heights economy leans on Automotive, Manufacturing, and Defense, and app development that speaks to those buyers wins. Neighbors like BAE Systems, Business Consultants Sterling Heights, and Elmhirst Industries are part of what makes being found here local, not generic. Community anchors like Abigayle Ministries and ACCESS are part of the local fabric, too. Institutions like Albanian American Chamber of Commerce, Central Michigan University Troy Center, and Dorsey College - Madison Heights, MI Campus keep the local business community connected and growing. Even the spots people know by name, like Angel's House Restaurant and BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, depend on being found online first.
