"Thanks to Apropo, our client instantly understands what they are getting and for how much, and on top of that, the quotes just look great, which overall translates into sales. We can easily and quickly create different variants of estimates, which also helps with sales. Finally, sales, PMs, and programmers can act in one place, without chaos and multiple file versions."
What is The Code Brothers and what’s your role there?
The Code Brothers is a software development agency based in Katowice, Poland, built on a strong technical specialization in Flutter. Rather than generic custom development, the agency focuses exclusively on building mobile, web, and desktop applications with Flutter, allowing them to deliver highly optimized cross-platform products faster than competitors. I am working at the company as the CEO.
The Challenge: Confusing Client Proposals
Despite their world-class technical skills, The Code Brothers faced a common operational hurdle: an estimation process tied to outdated manual files that created friction between teams and confusion for clients.
Confusing Client Proposals - Prospective buyers often struggled to easily comprehend what features were included and how costs mapped to their budget, hindering sales conversion.
Slow Iteration and Revision Turnarounds - Manually spinning up alternative scope scenarios or creating multiple pricing variants inside traditional spreadsheets required significant time and delayed our responses.
Spreadsheet Version Chaos - Sales teams, project managers, and engineering stakeholders lacked a unified workspace, leading to fragmented file variants flying over emails and drives.
The Solution: Clear, Interactive, Client-Facing Quotes
The Code Brothers made the strategic decision to "toss Excel into the trash" and transition to Apropo.io. This move was designed to align their pre-sales process with their unique value proposition, ensuring that their first interaction with a client was as modern and efficient as their Flutter code.
Polished Proposal Presentation - The tool transformed traditional calculation grids into beautiful, interactive proposals that display costs clearly, enabling clients to instantly grasp the value they receive.
Instant Variant Builder - The platform allowed our team to quickly and easily model diverse scope options and feature configurations, directly supporting our pre-sales negotiations.
Centralized Access Governance - Moving the estimation workflow to a single online environment united all departments in real time while securely managing visibility tiers across technical and commercial stakeholders.
By integrating Apropo, The Code Brothers ensured that their quoting process supports their growth trajectory, turning project estimations into a powerful sales tool rather than an administrative burden.
