Modernize the application your business depends on, one module at a time. We review the existing code and data, plan integrations and run old and new systems alongside each other where practical. Data reconciliation, rollback planning and your team’s approval guide each release.
Module replacement
Example
Module 2 of 5: customer accounts
2 balances differ. Send them to your accounts team before the switch?
An example with made-up figures. The buttons send nothing.
We sit with the people who use it and write down what every screen, report and workaround does, including the parts nobody documented.
We rebuild one part, such as orders or stock, and copy its records across. Old and new run side by side until the figures match.
People move to the new module only when your IT team approves. Then the next module starts, and the old system shrinks piece by piece.
Start with the system everyone works around. Each tab shows a part of it as it runs today and what changes once that part is replaced.
We rebuild the program your business depends on module by module, so staff never lose a working day to the move. Each new part runs next to the old one until your team trusts it.
Side by sideuntil the figures match
Start a projectYears of customers, orders and stock move into a database your IT team can support. We count every record on both sides and trace any difference before anyone relies on the new system.
Every recordchecked against the old system
Start a projectThe workbook that runs pricing, scheduling or stock becomes software with one set of figures, logins and a record of who changed what. The formulas your team trusts are kept and written down.
One versionof the figures, not a copy on every desk
Start a projectWhile the move is under way, old and new exchange data so nobody types anything twice. Once it is done, the new system connects to your ERP, CRM, apps and reports.
Connectedto the systems you add next
Start a projectTouching the system your business runs on carries real risk, so every modernization we take on follows these four rules.
Each new module runs next to the old one until the figures match. People move across only when the person you name approves it.
We copy, count and check every record against the old system before anyone relies on the new one. Your data stays in your own cloud account.
Parts not yet replaced work as they do today, and old and new share data during the move. We use tools your IT team knows and document the system as we go.
Record counts and totals from the old and new systems sit next to each other, with every difference listed. You switch when the two columns agree, and you can see that they do.
No stage commits you to the next one. In week three your own records are already sitting in the new module.
01 · Week 1
We sit with the people who use the old system, map what each part does and pick the module that is safest to replace first.
You end withA plan and a fixed price.
02 · Weeks 2 to 3
We copy that module's records into a first working version and check every count and total against the old system.
You end withProof the data moves cleanly, or a clear no.
03 · Weeks 4 to 8
We build the module in full, with a working demo every week, connected to the parts of the old system that stay.
You end withA module your IT team has signed off.
04 · Weeks 9 to 10
Old and new run together on real work until the figures match. Your team switches when the person you named says yes.
You end withOne module replaced, and a plan for the next.
After the first module we move to the next the same way, until you can switch the old system off. Or we hand over to your team with full documentation.
Show us the system everyone is afraid to touch. On day five you have a map of what it really does, the module to replace first and a fixed price, before anyone changes a line.
Free, 5 days
The map of your old system is yours, even if someone else does the replacing.
From clients in the US, Portugal, New Zealand and the UK.
What it costs, how your data stays whole and how the business keeps running during the move.
Share the technology stack, critical workflows, integrations, available documentation and known failures. Identify data that must be retained and acceptable maintenance windows. An initial assessment establishes whether to improve, replace or retain each part before committing to a migration plan.
The price moves with the size of the old system, how many modules it has, how clean its data is and how much of it nobody documented. The free 5-day audit ends with a fixed price for the first module, and you can stop there with the plan in hand.
No. We replace one module at a time and the old system keeps running until the new one matches it. People switch only when the figures agree and your IT team approves.
We copy every record, count it on both sides and compare the totals with the old system before anyone relies on the new one. Old and new run side by side on real work, and we trace and fix any difference before the switch.
That is common. We work it out from the screens, the reports, the data and the people who use it every day, and write it down as we go. You end up with documentation the old system never had.
You own it from day one: the new code, the database with every migrated record and the write-up of what the old system did, all in accounts under your name. If we part ways you keep everything and owe nothing extra.
Your first call is with a founder. We overlap 3 to 4 hours with US and UK working hours, report in the tools your IT team already uses and reply within 4 business hours.
Each one shows what the client needed, what we built and the result, so you can judge how close it is to your own project.
News and media
A news and media publishing group in India
We replaced a publisher's patchwork of tools with one news CMS for web, apps and aggregators, live in under a year, then rolled it out to a second daily title.

Walk a founder through the old system on a 30-minute call. You leave knowing which module we would move first, roughly what it would cost and how your team keeps working meanwhile. If replacing it is the wrong move, we say so.
What you get back
A few lines is plenty. You get a number before any call.
