Software Rebuilds

The software your business needs every day is old, slow, and only one person knows how it works. Maybe that person already left. We rebuild it with modern tools and keep all of your data.

The problem

Old software can work fine for years. Then one day it doesn't.

It only runs on one computer

The system is installed on an old PC in the back office. If that computer breaks, or a Windows update causes problems, your team can't work.

The person who built it is gone

A former employee or contractor built it years ago. There are no instructions, and nobody wants to change anything in case it breaks.

Slow and getting worse

It slows down as you add data, has problems when two people use it at once, and can't be used from home or a phone. The company that made it stopped updating it, or keeps raising the price.

What we build

A new system that does everything the old one did, and fixes what never worked.

Everything that works now

We go through the old system screen by screen, so we don't miss what your team relies on. That includes the odd steps nobody ever wrote down.

Modern, secure software

The new version runs in a web browser, works for many people at once, and can be used from the office, from home, or on a job site.

All of your data, moved

Every customer, job, and record comes over from the old system. We check the counts and totals before you switch.

How it works

  1. 1

    We study the old system

    We look at every screen, report, and file. We talk with the people who use it and write down how everything works.

  2. 2

    We build the new one

    Your team keeps using the old system while we build. Nothing changes for them until the new system is tested and ready.

  3. 3

    We switch over carefully

    We move the data, run both systems at the same time for a short while if needed, and switch when you're ready.

What changes for you

Not tied to one computer

It runs on secure servers with regular backups. If a computer breaks, you log in from another one.

Written down and owned by you

We document how the new system works, and you own the code. You don't have to rely on one person anymore.

Faster daily work

Screens load quickly, several people can work at once, and your team can use it from a phone.

Common questions

Have a different question? Book a short call and we'll answer it.

We don't really know how our old system works. Can you still rebuild it?

Yes, and that's common. We can learn a lot from the screens, the reports, and the data itself. Your staff can explain the rest.

We're locked out of our old database. Can you get into it?

If the data belongs to your business, we can often recover it. We'll ask you to confirm that you own it first.

Do we have to stop using the old system during the rebuild?

No. You keep working as normal. We only switch over once the new system is tested and your data has been checked.

Should we rebuild or buy something new?

Sometimes buying is the better choice, and we'll tell you if we think so. Rebuilding makes sense when the way you work is specific to your business and nothing you can buy fits it.
