An app with your own logo: How to make 4planning truly your own app

The idea sounds so logical “We are creating a bespoke custom app with our logo.”. So that your employees and customers immediately recognise where they need to be, and your business looks as professional as your work processes. The only problem is... when you have something truly custom-built, it's often expensive enough to put the proposal on the table and then park it again. Meanwhile, you *do* want to push ahead: with planning, clear tasks, central communication, and an app experience that aligns with your identity.

The new iOS update from 4planning is just around the corner. You benefit from the affordability and stability of 4planning Business, but now add a significant branding upgrade: an app with your own app icon (with your logo) on the splash screen. iOS users will immediately see your own branding—without you having to pay for custom software.

The dream: a personalised app with a bespoke look and feel

You know the feeling: you want your organisation (or your company) to be recognisable on every channel. Not just in your corporate identity, but also in the tool your people work with every day. Your own icon on the phone makes that tangible. It gives your employees confidence (“this is ours”) and customers are more likely to engage (“the communication is right here”).

And that is exactly why many boards and SME entrepreneurs want a app with own logo, often referred to as White label association app “creating your own club app”. In practice, it boils down to one wish: you want to see your own club or company identity reflected literally.

The frustration: building a custom app is unaffordable

When a complete custom app is developed, there is usually an initial restraint on the budget. The amount quickly escalates to tens of thousands of euros, not just due to development, but also for maintenance, updates, and further development.

Furthermore, generic planning apps often feel impersonal: your organisation is less recognisable, and your tool gets lost amongst the other icons on someone's phone. This is precisely what you don't want, especially if you want to work on engagement and control over your business processes.

In daily practice, you often see a mix of problems, such as:

• communication that spreads via Email, WhatsApp, and Excel
• double-entry bookkeeping (information updated twice)
• unclear project planning of planning that doesn't suit everyone
• uncollected taxes because succession is not strict enough
• insufficient visibility of appointments and following up on quotes
• Manual recurring tasks, such as maintenance or appointments, that take up too much time

The smart interim solution: 4planning Business with your own app icon (iOS)

4planning combines the best of both worlds: the solid foundation of our platform and the visual customisation you want for your start screen. With the new iOS update Can iOS users replace the default 4planning icon with the official logo from your organisation or company.
