Our Company Story
Long before there were app stores, Eric Shapiro and Adam Fingerman were college roommates and co-workers at Apple. When the iPhone App Store was announced, a lightbulb went on: Ideas started flowing, and they knew there was going to be a business creating apps. And there was no way they were going to miss out on it.
In 2008, they created ArcTouch and soon had Merck, Honeywell and Champs Sports as clients. In the ten years since, the team has grown to more than 200 expert strategists, designers and engineers who have created over 400 award-winning mobile apps and connected experiences.
Today, we create custom mobile apps, voice apps, web experiences, and chatbots. Our specialities include experience design, accelerated product development, rapid prototyping and proof of concept (PoC) projects, blockchain development, enterprise mobility, and team augmentation.
ArcTouch has been recognized by the industry as a global leader in mobile app consulting and blockchain consulting.
Connections matter to us. Connections between families and friends, and between a business and their employees and customers. When someone installs an app, a chatbot or an Alexa skill, they’re making a real connection and a commitment to a business. It’s both an opportunity and a responsibility to create both useful and lovable experiences, and we take this very seriously.
The mobile phone was just the beginning. We now live in a world of connected devices and smart things. And with the growth of mobile, along with emerging technology like blockchain, augmented reality, and voice platforms, there’s more opportunities than ever for businesses to strengthen their digital connections with customers and employees.
Our work focuses on digital, but connections start and end with people. That’s why we work so hard to create a culture and workplace focused on people and families. We love our tech, but we also value the relationships we forge with one another. Our perks reflect this. We have weekly team lunches and social events, flexible PTO so you can enjoy life, and an open pet policy.
