From no-code prototype to iOS and Android in 8 weeks
Sentré connects clients with vetted professionals for in-person support. Its first version was a no-code prototype. We rebuilt it as a native app for iOS and Android, using AI-assisted development, and launched it on both app stores in two months.

The challenge
What needed to change
The no-code prototype proved the idea, but it could not support a secure, scalable launch.
A service that sends professionals to clients in person needs identity checks, background screening and safe payments from the very first release.
Our approach
How we got there
- 01
A native app built to scale
One React Native codebase for iPhone, iPad and Android, with every account, key and line of code owned by the client.
- 02
Verified onboarding
A 7-step flow for professionals: profile, Stripe Identity, Stripe Connect payouts, a Checkr background check and admin approval.
- 03
Bookings built on trust
Tiered bookings, escrow payments that split payouts automatically, fair rules for overtime and no-shows, and two-way ratings.
What we delivered
The solution
- A native app for iOS, iPad and Android from one codebase.
- Identity checks and background screening for every professional.
- Escrow payments with automatic payouts through Stripe Connect.
- Launched on the App Store and Google Play.

In their words
What the client says
HKS TechLabs helped transform Sentré into the premium platform I envisioned. Their guidance throughout the rebuild and launch process made it possible to bring Sentré to both app stores with confidence.
