I don't know your business, but I do know that a lot of users are getting sick of installing a different app to use each site, when the back-end is the same as the web based system. Bootstrap was just an example, I've used it and it doesn't dictate anything relating to the perl/server side of things. If as like you say you are happy with the MVC setup you have in place, you should be well placed to replace the existing front end with one which caters for all clients. The benefits in terms of support an maintainability in terms of one thing vs a website (catering for various browsers/devices) and multiple app platforms is quite clear.
