PIX still new to the sector, in-person support and 16 million people depending on the platform.Chapter 01 · 2024-2025 · Challenge

The first step of the digital transformation.

BRK had a clear vision: accelerate its digital transformation journey with a partner that understood its business. And the challenges were real. PIX was still new to the sector and had to be secure and intuitive. Requesting a duplicate bill was an in-person process that needed to go digital. And above all, 16 million people depended on the platform simply working.

Minha BRK app: PIX, duplicate bills, alerts and reconnection in one place.Chapter 02 · Solution

A dedicated squad inside the Minha BRK app.

DB1 went beyond technology: it assigned a dedicated squad focused on user experience, to improve BRK’s relationship with its millions of clients. The features built for Minha BRK made services more accessible, more direct and more intuitive.

PIX paymentsIntegration of a faster, more modern payment method for water bills.
Easy duplicate billsA process that used to require going in person, turned digital and resolved inside the app.
Water outage alertsReal-time notification of supply interruptions. Before: a call to the service center. After: an automatic alert in the app.
Online reconnection integrated with the CRMOnline reconnection with time slots, installation status, a digital form and CRM integration.
Chapter 03 · Trust

Delivery quality opened space for more.

99.58% satisfaction already measured, before any conversation about the next project.

With 99.58% satisfaction and a squad that understood BRK’s business, trust was established, and the door to the next step was open. That trust led BRK to invite DB1 into Fonte do Futuro, a social project bringing drinking water and sanitation to public schools. Building the project’s official website took the partnership one step further: DB1 became a sponsor of the initiative.

Chapter 04 · 2025-2026 · Agentic engineering

One specialist, one copilot and a portal migrated 3x faster.

3x faster: the first agentic engineering delivery on a real essential-service portal.

DB1’s evolution toward a new positioning, agentic software engineering, came with a tool of its own: the Clovis CLI, a technical copilot that amplifies engineers. BRK was expanding into a new city and needed to migrate an existing portal. That kind of project usually takes time, costs a lot, carries operational risk and ties up several specialists.

1 specialist + the Clovis CLIThe migration started with a single specialist supported by the copilot. Clovis amplifies what the engineer does instead of replacing them.
3x fasterThe migration ran at three times the speed of the traditional method.
50% of the costHalf the cost of a migration run the conventional way.
Same quality, same securityNo concessions on the standards expected of an essential service.

Agentic engineering in production

The first portal migration run with 1 specialist and the Clovis CLI: 3x faster, half the cost, same quality and security.

One thing that caught my attention from the beginning of the partnership with DB1 is the relationship, the way they engage with the client, always staying close, trying to understand what our needs are.
