Your shop system is at risk. The shop doesn't have to notice.
The desktop app from 2008. The Access database on one aging PC. The older E2 or JobBOSS install the vendor has moved on from. When it fails, production doesn't wait — so the rescue can't either. We stabilize what's running, recover what it knows, and replace what hurts, piece by piece, while the factory keeps shipping.
One of these is true.
A custom system — Access, FoxPro, a one-developer desktop app — and the person who understood it is gone. Every reboot is a small act of faith.
Older E2, classic JobBOSS, a shop package the vendor no longer sells. The migration on offer often leaves much of your history and your customizations behind — and you'd still be renting.
The system of record stopped being the system of record. Pricing lives in one person's head and three workbooks with names like FINAL-v7-USE-THIS-ONE.
Fixed prices. Known up front.
Tell us what you're running and where it hurts. We'll tell you straight whether a rescue makes sense — including when the honest answer is an off-the-shelf system.
We take the legacy system apart — database, backups, even the program files — and hand you a written, actionable rescue plan. Yours to keep and execute with anyone, even if it isn't us.
Replace what hurts first — order desk, pricing, floor tracking — in fixed-price sprints that each commit to a KPI and end in deployed software you can click. The legacy system stays up until the new one has earned trust, so production keeps running.
If the honest answer is a full rebuild: that's the larger engagement — $20k a month, six-month minimum. We'll tell you on the free call which one you're looking at.
After go-live: an ongoing platform retainer from $3,500/mo keeps the system evolving with the shop — or hand it to any competent engineer; you own the code, the data, and the deployment.
What you get for it: a system shaped like your shop, owned outright, with the first pieces live in weeks — a KPI committed before each sprint, and the before-and-after numbers to show whether it moved. Not the cheapest option; the one that fits and holds.
We're doing this now. Verifiably.
A decades-old make-to-order manufacturer, an undocumented failing 2012-era system, a corrupt first backup, no developer to call. The new system is in parallel testing against the live one, with go-live targeted for November 2026; until then the shop runs on its existing system.
The full story — data archaeology, the formula error 400,000 real records settled, the evidence discipline — is on the main page.
Twenty minutes. An honest read. Free.
Tell us what you're running. Worst case, you leave with a clearer picture of your options — including the ones that don't involve us.
