Apropo

SoftKraft joins Apropo! SoftKraft, a company specialized in developing mission-critical business software with prestigious 𝗧𝗨𝗩 𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗗 and 𝟮𝘅 𝗜𝗦𝗢 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 decided to switch to Apropo for estimating their projects! 📣 Using this occasion I’d like to give a shoutout to one very unique thing about SoftKraft… Every new employee receives a book “E͟x͟t͟r͟e͟m͟e͟ ͟O͟n͟w͟e͟r͟s͟h͟i͟p͟” by Jocko Willink in their starter pack. I once asked Marek Petrykowski why they do it and the answer was following: 💎 “𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙣𝙪𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙞𝙧𝙘𝙪𝙢𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨. 𝙄𝙩𝙨 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.” 💎 I rarely see this sort of maturity at software companies. That’s how A-Players work and that was also one of the reasons for SoftKraft to switch to Apropo.   📣 Here is how Marek Petrykowski, COO at SoftKraft, comments the impact that Apropo had at their organization: "1️⃣ Our estimates 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. They are finally easy to read, good-looking and interactive - o͟u͟r͟ ͟c͟l͟i͟e͟n͟t͟s͟ ͟l͟o͟v͟e͟ ͟t͟h͟i͟s͟ ͟t͟o͟o͟l͟. 2️⃣ Our clients can now create their own versions of the scope on the offer which hugely helps with sales. 3️⃣ 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 and if they opened it." Thank you Marek Petrykowski and the SoftKraft Crew. You deserve big credit for how you approach the ownership of the project’s business goals. Apropo is with you to give you speed in quoting, accuracy increase and best experience for your customers! 🎯

We just got our users Another toy! 🚙 🔍 When creating an estimate you can now add 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 and 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 in Apropo. Internal ones are n͟o͟t͟ ͟v͟i͟s͟i͟b͟l͟e͟ ͟t͟o͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟ ͟c͟l͟i͟e͟n͟t͟, External are v͟i͟s͟i͟b͟l͟e͟. This means that finally your developers can complain about the project brief quality in the comments without your client seeing it! 🙈 We finally made everyone happy! ▶ But seriously - you can now lead internal communication about specific features of the scope and only give your client the final conclusion. ▶ That’s how A-Players among software agencies design their project quotes to be - informative and convenient at the same time. Congrats to our amazing Apropo Team!! What else should we implement to make the quoting even more convenient? Let us know in the comments!👇👇👇

Geeknauts switches to Apropo for their project estimates! 👏 👏 👏 ➡ Geeknauts, a custom software development company based in Krakow, Poland, can be definitely counted among t͟o͟p͟ 5͟ ͟#S͟a͟a͟S͟ ͟s͟p͟e͟c͟i͟a͟l͟i͟z͟e͟d͟ ͟d͟e͟v͟e͟l͟o͟p͟m͟e͟n͟t͟ ͟c͟o͟m͟p͟a͟n͟i͟e͟s͟ ͟i͟n͟ ͟P͟o͟l͟a͟n͟d͟. They know very well all the different aspects of #SaaS business - both technical and business. ➡ What I however like the most about them, is their strive for perfection. They are not satisfied with solutions that are “𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥-𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩”. 🔶 That’s one of the few things that I always find common for all the A-Performers - they N͟E͟V͟E͟R͟ tolerate mediocrity. And that’s the main reason why Geeknauts switched from Google Spreadsheets to Apropo - they didn’t agree for mediocrity in their estimates and proposals. 📣 Here’s what Borys Z., Frontend Developer & Sales Representative at Geeknatus, says about the impact from implementing Apropo: “Apropo 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 thanks to creating estimates that look 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 than Google Spreadsheets. The way how estimates done in Apropo look also massively helped with communication with our clients and 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁. Our 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 which further helped us increase the profitability of our projects” 🤝 Thank you Borys and Geeknauts Crew - it’s a pleasure to have such A-Players like yourselves as our users. We wish you tons of time saved, accuracy increase and deals won with Apropo!

They implement #blockchain solutions for real-life business cases both for #public and #private sectors. However, what I value the most in companies I work with is 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆, and that’s something clearly visible at Neti. They’re not one of those “𝘣𝘓𝘰𝘊𝘬𝘤𝘩𝘈𝘪𝘕 𝘦𝘟𝘱𝘌𝘙𝘵𝘴” who bought bitcoin and try to capitalize on the hype. Instead, they were into blockchain long before the whole crypto hype started. They know blockchain in & out because they were working with it since its very early concept emerged ⛓ And that’s something clearly reflected in their working style - authenticity, real expertise and being equally transparent about the things they feel and don’t feel themselves strong in 🏆 Here is what Sławomir Paśko, CEO at Neti ⛓️, says about the outcomes from implementing Apropo: "We finally have a great way to 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.

IT-SOLVE Business Partner is one of the top Polish companies specialized in developing custom software solutions for #transport, #logistics and #warehouse_management and a great company to observe if you want to get inspired 🏆 Their approach reminds me w͟h͟y͟ ͟p͟r͟o͟g͟r͟a͟m͟m͟i͟n͟g͟ ͟w͟a͟s͟ ͟i͟n͟v͟e͟n͟t͟e͟d͟ ͟i͟n͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟ ͟f͟i͟r͟s͟t͟ ͟p͟l͟a͟c͟e͟ - it was never a solution itself, but a tool to solve automation problems. While other companies may push custom coding as a solution to each of your problems, IT-Solve will first work to understand your problem before even mentioning coding. Only then they’ll propose the technology and solution that addresses it best, regardless if that’s a ready SaaS solution, other company who’ll do it better or fully custom software ✅ This very approach was one of the reasons for switching to Apropo - it solves their problem in the simplest way.

They’re constantly hungry for growth even though they grow pretty fast! Still, the thing I like most about them is that it’s not the hunger for business growth that keeps them growing 💡 It’s the hunger of personal growth and getting better at what they do. 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 and 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 are the 2 main pillars QarbonIT is founded upon and the fast growth is just a side effect of it.

You truly deserve credit for your outstanding approach and sticking to your values ⭐ We wish you guys tons of time saved, accuracy increase and deals won with Apropo! 💹

Naturaily joins Apropo ✅ Naturaily, a #Jamstack and #headless_eCommerce icon in the software development agencies world, decided to switch to Apropo for estimating their projects! And… they did it more than 1 year ago, so this post is… kinda overdue. But it still counts!! How can I describe Naturaily’s DNA? First of all it’s #Jamstack, #Shopify and #composable_commerce. They know their strengths and instead of pretending they’re good at everything they focus on being the A-players in the above-mentioned areas in which they are 2 steps ahead than most of the market ✅ The other thing is, that they won’t let you do anything stupid. They really won’t. They know the traps of the areas in which they are experts. While some companies may just do you as you wish and make you lose $100k and 6-months for recovering from that decision, they won’t let you go with any technological choice that will cause problems to your business ⛔ Both of these characteristics describe an A-Player approach. Since Naturaily truly is an A-Player in their field, they decided to switch to quoting software for A-Players - Apropo. Here is what Konrad Kuceł, Head of Growth at Naturaily, says about benefits from implementing Apropo: "We could finally get rid of ugly and complicated Excel estimates and replace them with client-friendly pricing quotes with ability to select the must-haves and nice-haves they want in their projects. The team cooperation on the estimates also got much easier. And on top of that, we can quickly spot the elements of estimates that need improvements, react to them and win more projects.” Thank you guys and the entire Naturaily crew for your continued trust. We wish you tons of time saved, accuracy increase and deals won with Apropo!
