Who is The Code Brothers?
Based in Katowice, The Code Brothers is a software house that has built its reputation on strict technical specialization rather than generic "custom software development". Their core technical "superpower" is their deep expertise in the Flutter framework, allowing them to develop mobile, web, and desktop applications significantly faster and more efficiently than generalist firms. This specialized approach has made them a high-demand partner, often resulting in a workload that exceeds their current headcount.
The Challenge: Moving Beyond the Chaos of Spreadsheets
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their world-class technical skills, The Code Brothers faced a common operational hurdle: an estimation process tied to outdated manual files that created friction between teams and confusion for clients.
Relying on Excel spreadsheets that led to 'version hell' and file chaos.
Internal silos where Sales, Project Managers, and Developers could not collaborate in one place.
Proposals that lacked the professional aesthetic required to reflect their high-end technical quality.
The Solution: A Unified Flutter Estimation Platform
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.
Consolidated Sales, Project Management, and Development teams into a single workspace.
Adopted interactive web-based offers that clearly show what the client receives and at what price.
Leveraged the ability to quickly create multiple estimation variants to meet diverse client needs.
Replaced manual spreadsheet calculations with an automated, professional quoting engine.
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.
