Quick Summary
- ▸ Built for a electrical construction company (200 employees) in Medellin, Colombia.
- ▸ CodeBranch built a mobile app for sales teams to generate home automation budget estimates in minutes — a short form asks how many lighting zones, sound zones, curtains and smart-home features the client wants, and produces a price range on the spot.
- Sales teams generate home automation budget estimates on the spot — at trade fairs, showrooms, or casual conversations — in under 5 minutes.
- A short 5–10 question form replaces manual guesswork, producing two budget options (standard and premium) tailored to the client.
Overview
Not every sales conversation starts at a desk. At trade fairs, showroom floors, and casual meetings, vendors needed a way to give prospects a realistic home automation budget in under five minutes — without a laptop, without a floor plan, and without sitting down to design a custom solution.
CodeBranch built a mobile app that does exactly that. The vendor opens the app, walks through 5–10 questions — how many lighting zones, sound zones, motorized curtains, IR devices — and the app instantly produces two budget proposals at different price ranges. Accurate enough to hook the conversation, fast enough to use between handshakes.
This app was the mobile complement to the full web-based quoting platform (which handled detailed floor-plan design with drag-and-drop). Together, the two tools covered both ends of the sales process: the mobile app for fast engagement, the web platform for detailed proposals.

Approach
The app was built with React Native, enabling a single codebase for both iOS and Android — critical for a tool that needed to work on whatever device the sales team carried.
The form logic maps each question to a product category: lighting automation, sound zones, motorized curtains, IR control, and other smart-home features. Each answer captures a quantity or a yes/no, and the budgeting engine applies pricing rules to produce two proposals — a standard option and a premium option — with product costs and a ballpark for installation and labor.
The interface was designed for field use: large touch targets, minimal scrolling, no technical jargon. A vendor with no technical background can walk through the full questionnaire and show the client a budget range in the time it takes to have a coffee.
The project was executed by two developers — one senior and one semi-senior.
