Can you build a shopping app for a Portland Shopify brand?
+
Yes. We build mobile shopping apps connected to Shopify, with product browsing, checkout, loyalty, wishlists, push notifications for drops and restocks, and personalized recommendations. Apps work best for brands with loyal repeat customers, and we will tell you honestly if your brand is ready for one.
Do you build companion apps for hardware products?
+
Yes. We build iOS and Android apps that connect to devices over Bluetooth or WiFi, handle pairing, firmware updates and data sync, and present information clearly. We test with real hardware throughout development, because connectivity issues are the most common cause of bad reviews.
What does working with a remote app team look like for a Portland company?
+
You get a dedicated product lead, shared project boards, demo builds every two weeks and a daily live call during overlapping hours. Work continues overnight from our Mumbai headquarters. Baclinc has delivered over 150 projects since 2017 for clients around the world.
How long does it take to build an app for a Portland company?
+
A focused first release usually takes around three months: discovery and prototypes, two week build sprints, then testing and store submission. Hardware connectivity, complex integrations or compliance needs can extend that, which we flag during discovery so the plan stays realistic.
Do you design the app as well as build it?
+
Yes. Product design, user research, prototypes and interface design happen in the same team as engineering, so what gets designed can actually be built well. For Portland brands with strong visual identities, we carry that identity into the app without sacrificing usability.
Who owns the app code?
+
You do. Repositories, cloud accounts and app store listings sit in your organization from day one. We document everything and can hand over to an in house team whenever you are ready, with no lock in.
Where is Baclinc based, and does that matter for Portland clients?
+
Baclinc is headquartered in Mumbai, India, and we work with clients across the United States and worldwide. It matters in your favor. You get a senior in-house team at a price no comparable US agency can offer, working while you sleep, with a fixed daily overlap window for live calls. Digital work has not required a shared zip code for a decade. What it requires is people who are genuinely excellent at it.
How do you handle the time difference with Portland?
+
It is an advantage, not a problem. We run about half a day ahead of US time, so work you brief at the end of your day is finished when you start the next one. You effectively get an extra working day every night. We hold a fixed daily overlap window for calls, and we are reachable on Slack, email or WhatsApp through your working day.
How much does it cost to work with Baclinc from the US?
+
Engagements start at $2,000 per month, and most sit meaningfully above that depending on scope and speed. That buys you senior specialists and a standard of work that US agencies charge several times more for. We are not the cheapest option and we are not trying to be. We are the best value at this level of quality anywhere in the world.
Do you work with US companies already?
+
Yes. We work with brands across the United States and internationally, and we have run US ecommerce accounts including a dropshipping store that did $10,000+ in sales in 20 days at 5.5x ROAS on TikTok Ads. Our team works to a global standard because our clients compete globally.
Who actually does the work?
+
Senior in-house specialists. 25+ people across SEO, engineering, content, paid media and creative, all employed by us, all in one office. The people who win the pitch are the people who run your account. We do not outsource, we do not hand you to a junior queue, and we do not staff accounts with whoever is free.
How do communication and reporting work?
+
You get a named senior lead, a shared channel on Slack or your tool of choice, live dashboards you can open at any time, a weekly written read on what changed and what we are testing, and a monthly review against the targets we agreed. Everything is in English, everything is documented, and nothing depends on you chasing us.
Who owns the work and the accounts?
+
You do, completely. Your ad accounts, your analytics, your website, your content and your creative assets stay in your ownership throughout and after the engagement. We work inside your accounts, not behind a wall. There is no lock-in, no proprietary platform you have to keep paying for, and no hostage situation if you leave.
How do contracts and payment work for US clients?
+
Straightforward monthly agreements, invoiced in USD, paid by international bank transfer or card. No long lock-ins. We work on rolling terms because we would rather keep clients on results than on contracts. Confidentiality agreements are standard and we sign yours.
