Services · Mobile app development · Watch apps
Codeeo delivers watch shopping app development USA retailers and pre-owned dealers use to sell nationally without losing control of stock, records or risk. We build iOS and Android apps with a catalog organized by reference number, authentication and provenance files, waitlists, trade-in and sell-to-us flows, service bookings and financing at checkout. Behind them sit staff tools and an admin dashboard that respect the different secondhand, privacy and tax rules of each state you trade in.
A watch business that ships nationally is really several businesses under one name, each answering to a different set of state rules. The app should keep that complexity in the back office, so a buyer in any state simply sees an accurate listing and a clear checkout.

Platform features
Selling watches across the country raises questions that a single-store app never meets. Which state's secondhand rules apply when a seller in one state ships a watch to your buying office in another? Which privacy law covers a customer who moves? Where do you owe sales tax once online sales cross a state's economic nexus threshold, a duty that has applied since the Supreme Court's Wayfair decision in 2018? We design the platform so each watch has one authoritative record from intake to sale, and each transaction carries the location, license and rule set that applied to it. The customer app stays simple; the complexity lives where your compliance and operations staff can manage it. Most groups launch with the catalog, buy-in rules, checkout and dashboard, then add national waitlists and mail-in servicing in a second phase.
One catalog across every store, warehouse and consignment source, organized by brand reference, material, year, condition grade and papers status. Buyers anywhere in the country see real-time availability and where each piece sits, and staff can move stock between locations with a logged transfer.
National buyers see one accurate inventory.
The sell-to-us and trade-in flows switch their required fields, ID checks, holding periods and reporting outputs by the state and city of the buying location. New York City, California and Texas each work differently, and your counsel signs off each rule set before it goes live. New locations inherit a tested rule set instead of a blank one.
Each buy-in follows the rules of the place it happens.
A standard authentication checklist for every incoming watch, photos of movement and serials, papers and service records, and the result of a stolen watch database search. A summary appears on the listing, while the full file stays in the back office for staff, auditors and law enforcement requests.
Trust is documented the same way in every location.
The FTC Jewelry Guides still cover claims about gold, platinum, plating and gemstones; the agency withdrew its separate watch industry guides in 1999, so other claims fall under general FTC rules against deception. Structured fields keep descriptions of metal, water resistance and condition consistent everywhere.
Fewer disputes over what a listing promised.
Clients register interest once and are visible to every location, with purchase history and notes. Your team decides allocation; the app keeps the record, routes the client to the nearest store and keeps queue positions private. Clients can update their preferences at any time.
Interest is never lost between stores.
Customers book servicing at the nearest workshop or ship a watch with an insured mail-in kit. Estimates are approved in the app, and every stage from intake to return shipping is tracked against the watch's record. Warranty dates on completed work are stored for future visits.
Service becomes a national offer, not a local one.
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and an installment financing partner, with lender disclosures shown as the lender supplies them. Sales tax is calculated by destination through a tax service, and card data stays with a PCI DSS compliant processor.
Checkout works the same way in every state.
Address and card verification, 3-D Secure, velocity rules, manual review queues and signature-required insured shipping. Orders above your own thresholds can require collection with ID at a store. Large cash payments are flagged for federal IRS Form 8300 reporting.
Fraud is caught early without slowing good orders.
Screens built to WCAG guidance, which courts often reference in ADA claims against retail apps, plus separate consent for marketing texts under the TCPA and clear unsubscribe options for email under CAN-SPAM. Screen reader labels, contrast and text sizing are tested on both platforms before release.
Fewer legal gaps in the everyday customer experience.
Stock value and aging by location, buy-in volume by state, reporting status, workshop load, waitlist demand and fraud review queues, with role-based access and audit logs for every change to a transaction record. Leaders can compare regions and spot slow stock before it ages.
Leadership sees the whole business on one screen.
Who this is for
A national watch app makes sense when a business trades in more than one state, ships to buyers it has never met, or runs several locations that need one shared view of stock. These are the four we build for most. In each case the first release targets the costliest gap, whether that is compliance, fraud, stock visibility or service capacity. A business that sells only from one store in one state is usually better served by a simpler city app, and we will say so in discovery.
Each store runs its own counter, but customers expect one brand experience. The app joins stock, clients and waitlists across locations while keeping licensing, buy-in records and reporting separate for each store. A client who buys in one city can service the watch in another, and staff there see the full history. Store managers keep control of their own floor, while head office sets catalog standards, pricing rules and the authentication checklist used everywhere.
One customer view, separate compliance per store.
You buy from sellers nationwide and sell to collectors in every state. The build centers on mail-in buy-ins, authentication at a central office, state-aware records and strong fraud controls on outbound orders. If you hold a dealer in precious metals anti-money-laundering program under federal rules, the app's records can support it. Prepaid insured shipping labels, tracked from the seller's door to your bench, remove much of the anxiety a first-time seller feels about posting a valuable watch.
Buying by mail needs especially careful records.
If your platform lets other dealers list watches, the federal INFORM Consumers Act may require you to collect and verify information from high-volume sellers. We design seller onboarding, verification and listing review so trust in the marketplace holds up as it grows. Seller ratings, dispute handling and payout holds give buyers recourse and give you time to resolve problems before money leaves the platform.
Seller verification is built in from the first release.
Your workshops serve customers far beyond driving distance. The app manages mail-in kits, insured shipping both ways, estimate approval, parts tracking and return delivery, with a consistent experience across every service location in your network. Capacity planning in the dashboard shows which workshop can take the next job, so turnaround stays predictable as volume grows.

Engagement options
National programs usually start with a fixed scope first phase covering one or two markets, quoted once against a written feature list. A retainer then covers new states, locations and features. Where the roadmap runs for years, a dedicated team is the better fit. Codeeo has no US office; our team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works remotely with US clients, and discovery, design reviews and demos run by video call. Compliance and legal reviews involve your own counsel; we turn their decisions into working software.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
React Native or Flutter apps, a cloud backend with encryption, role-based access and audit logging, and integrations with retail systems, payment processors, financing partners, tax engines and carriers. We select the stack around your existing systems and in-house team.

We agree the timeline after discovery, usually phased by market.
A first release in one market with catalog, holds, checkout and servicing moves faster than a multi-state launch with state-aware buy-in rules and marketplace features. The number of integrations and the state of your inventory data are the biggest factors. We phase the rollout so you earn from the first market while later ones are prepared, and every phase has written dates. Each phase also allows for app store review before public release.
