Private apps let you put your company's own Android app on your work phones through managed Google Play. In NounDesk, you upload the app's APK file and it is published privately, free, in about 10 minutes. Only your company's devices can see it in their Google Play store. It then installs like any other app: required, optional or blocked, per security policy. Employees don't need a Google account to get it.

Plenty of small businesses have an app of their own. A job-sheet app a developer built for the crew, or a stock-count app for the warehouse.
