Digital Services And Products

We design and build customized digital products to help our customers achieve success.

We create digital experiences that turn into prototypes, MVPs, interfaces, software and digital products - even the complicated ones - that help companies create and maintain relationships with current and potential customers, improve their internal performance and be more competitive on the market. By designing first and starting coding later, we create balance and generate value that lasts.

Prototype first

We start with a prototype, so that we can test and validate your ideas and bring successful products to life. We also achieve this by means of the Design Sprint methodology.

We simplify what is complicated

We design, develop and turn your ideas into something concrete: from web apps to mobile apps, both native and hybrid, from websites to customized software tailored to your needs.

How we work

To design and build good digital products is not only about developing code. We know it well: we have turned it into a constantly evolving method. Before development, designing is necessary, and for a good design, it's crucial to start with research, listening, and testing.

come lavoriamo in Appybros - il nostro approaccio

Not only developers...

From the design to the development division, our team offers transversal and complementary skills. We handle every step of the process, from the ideation to the observation process, from the prototyping to the development: user-research, co-design, information architecture, backend, frontend. And, if you desire, we can validate new ideas and give shape to your project using the Design Sprint methodology.

We are a Software house with a clear focus on the User Experience. In every project we work on, we consider people's needs as a priority and always improve usability and accessibility.

We work directly with companies and startups in order to become their development partners and cooperate with agencies that want to outsource the development activity.

What they say about us

Appybros' distinctive work style became immediately clear to us. The agency always listened to us, was very proactive from the very first meetings and presented us various solutions - all potentially applicable for our project. Thanks to these qualities, we were able to develop a structured e-commerce site with various customized elements in a short time - something other agencies considered as not possible. Overall, Appybros is a very reliable partner to count on for the development and design of a tailor-made e-commerce site.

L’approccio differente di Appybros risulta evidente sin dall’inizio. Grazie a un’innata propensione all’ascolto, l’Agenzia risulta essere già dai primi incontri molto propositiva presentando soluzioni sempre professionalmente valide. Grazie a queste qualità siamo riusciti in breve tempo a sviluppare un progetto e-commerce articolato con molte parti customizzato, particolare quest’ultimo che altri consulenti ritenevano irrealizzabili.

AppyBros has helped us (Viselio) to substantially increase our efficiency by using their application and customizing it to our needs. The AppyBros team not only executes purely based on instructions but always tries to understand the concepts behind. This way of working is otherwise missed by many other development companies. We are looking forward to new collaborations with AppyBros. Great job!

To manage our COVID Test Center, during the Locarno Film Festival 2021, we needed a fast and complete solution. Appybros put on an extreme lean, stable and fast web based solution within days. Very user friendly and easy to use, it has enabled us to complete a very large amount of Corona Test with lean teams.
The solution has been integrated with the governmental platform to release official QR COVID certificates. (in a night!)
With a very short lists of initial bugs that was solved overnight in the first couple of days, and very useful reports, the system supported us all along our activity. Flexible on requests of adaptation, reliable on the timing, Ed and his team helped us a lot.

Thank you Ed!

Das Team ist in der Lage, Ihre kreative Energie in ein konkretes Ziel zu kanalisieren und versucht, das Mögliche zu schaffen, ohne Zeit für unnötiges und endloses Reden zu verlieren.

Ich habe eine positive Erfahrung mit Appybros gemacht und falls Sie auch ein Projekt im Sinn haben, aber nicht wissen, wie Sie es verwirklichen sollen, kann ich das Team nur empfehlen.

We chose Appybros to develop a customized software solution for our inventory management system. The team assisted us in organizing a challenging digital transformation process.
After a careful analysis of our working method, Appybros listened to our wishes and turned them into a functional prototype, giving us a preliminary version of the final result. The Agile development approach proved to be very effective in incorporating our feedback throughout the process. We are extremely satisfied with their collaboration and the excellent result.

We contacted Appybros because of an issue that we thought to be impossible to solve it in a short time. Luckly, they managed to help us! We needed to improve the user-experience on two of the most important pages of our website. Unfortunately, they had been created long ago with a technology that has become obsolete. Thanks to Appybros, these two pages are now much more intuitive and responsive. Highly recommended!

I worked with Appybros on a complex project that required 3 different developments: an iOS application, an Android application and a Web Application, the three connected to each other. Before working with them, I had gone through an unsuccessful collaboration with another agency, which ended up with an unpleasant waste of time and resources for me. Appybros instilled competence and reliability since the beginning of our collaboration. They suggested a two-step approach to the project: first, they create a clickable prototype (very useful to receive and implement early-stage feedback); then, once the prototype had been approved, they dived into the apps and software development. This method proved to be extremely successful: not only it allowed to speed up the project and make up for lost time, but it also provided me very quickly with a tangible version of what, until then, had been just an idea. Since then, Appybros is my go-to tech partner and, thanks also to their precious work, Ontime.menu(https://ontime.menu) is now among the 20 finalists of the start-up competition "Boldbrain Startup Challenge", I highly recommend them!
