apreel

Apreel was founded in April 2010 by four friends and has grown to 350+ employees across what appears to be Polish operations. The company has completed over 400 projects in 14+ years. It started as a software house but pivoted to make IT staff leasing its core business, though bespoke software development remains part of the offering. Apreel works primarily with financial services companies—insurance and banking are stated as key competencies.

Services and capabilities

Apreel offers three main service lines: bespoke web application development, product design, and SaaS platforms. On the development side, the company builds customer self-service and back-office systems using microservice architecture. Technologies they work with include React, Angular, Kotlin, Spring, Elixir, .NET Core, Java, and Oracle. They've built vehicle insurance sales platforms, claim management systems with segmentation engines, and remote video assessment tools using WebRTC.

Product design is a separate offering that includes design sprints, web and mobile design, UX research, and prototyping. They frame design as tied directly to commercial outcomes.

On SaaS, Apreel has launched multiple platforms for the insurance industry focused on sales and claims. Examples include vehicle premium calculation services, remote video assessment for claims, self-assessment fast-track modules, and AI-based image validation for insurance documents. They use AI image processing as part of this work.

IT staff augmentation is the stated "core pillar" of the business. Over the last decade, they've provided software engineers, testers, business analysts, and system analysts on flexible delivery models.

Notable work

Three projects are named on their site: Compensa, Link4, and VideoInspektor. Compensa is an insurance claim service with First Notification of Loss, a Claim Segmentation Engine, Self-assessment Fastrack module, and Claim Status modules, built with .NET Core and MS SQL Server. Link4 is an online vehicle insurance sales platform with premium calculation and policy purchase functionality via web, built with Java, Angular, and Oracle. VideoInspektor is a remote video assessment service for claim handlers using WebRTC, Java, and Angular—claim handlers send SMS links to customers with no mobile app required.

How they work

Apreel follows a scrum-agile methodology. Their process is laid out in phases: inception (product scoping, feasibility study, architecture design), UX/UI design (user journey maps, wireframes, clickable prototypes, end-user evaluation), development (user stories, coding, code reviews, unit testing), testing (system, integration, UAT, performance, security/penetration), and support (SLA, defect fixing, release management). Backlogs are defined, scoped, and trackable in an issue-tracking tool available to customers throughout the project lifecycle. They emphasize code quality through frequent code reviews and unit testing coverage, and have stated insurance domain knowledge as a differentiator—their engineers understand P&C and life insurance business logic.

Team and credentials

Apreel has 350+ employees. The company is led by three board members: Paweł Żak (Chairman), Maciej Jończyk, and Cezary Szmurło. The site lists senior account managers and IT recruitment consultants by name, suggesting a structured client and hiring operation. No certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, or others) are mentioned on the site. No Clutch, G2, or other third-party ratings are provided.
