How Postaj Revolutionized Handyman Services in Croatia with FlutterFlow

Logistics

"Many view FlutterFlow as a prototyping tool, but it's robust enough for full-scale projects right from the start."

— Marko Gregurić, Postaj Founder

Getting Started

Postaj’s journey from concept to market is a story of innovation in Croatia's digital landscape. This app connects users with handyman services, filling a market gap and proving the power of the right tools. Despite no prior app development experience, Postaj's founders used FlutterFlow to bring their vision to life.

Choosing FlutterFlow

Founded by two experts in Artificial Intelligence and Mechanical Engineering, Postaj was created to address the lack of accessible handyman services in Croatia. Known as the "Uber for handymen," Postaj connects service providers with customers on both iOS and Android platforms.

After struggling with Swift programming, the team switched to FlutterFlow, a move that was crucial to overcoming development challenges. FlutterFlow’s state management features were key to the project’s success.

Launched just six months after development began in November 2022, the app quickly became market-ready by May 2023.

Building With FlutterFlow

Postaj’s success comes from its well-designed features:

  1. Dual App Functionality: Postaj Partner for handymen and Postaj for users ensure a streamlined experience.
  2. Custom-Built Transaction Flow: Users can filter services, request a handyman, complete the job, and leave reviews.
  3. In-App Chat: Enhances user-provider communication.
  4. Subscription Integration: FlutterFlow's RevenueCat integration offers multiple subscription options.
  5. Review Systems: Mutual reviews foster transparency and trust.
  6. Filters: Choice chips allow users to filter handymen types and job requirements.

The founders emphasize FlutterFlow's versatility for full-scale projects. Rapid iteration and low bug levels enabled quick responses to user feedback, ensuring a high-quality experience.

"There are low levels of bugs, very fast iteration cycles, incredibly fast delivery of new features, unseen customer feedback responses that allowed us to quickly respond to our user base and succeed..."
