The desktop app from 2008. The Access database on one aging PC. The legacy E2 or JobBOSS install the vendor stopped caring about. 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.
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.
Legacy E2, old JobBOSS, a shop package the vendor stopped selling years ago. The forced migration on offer loses your history and your customizations — 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.
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 application binaries — 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. Production never stops.
After cutover: 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 it costs against the alternative: a typical rescue lands at or below what shops pay for an off-the-shelf 20-user system — and at the end you own something shaped like your shop instead of renting something shaped like everyone else's.
A decades-old make-to-order manufacturer, an undocumented failing 2012-era system, a corrupt first backup, no developer to call. Under eight weeks to a first live deployment; zero days of production stopped.
The full story — data archaeology, the formula error 400,000 real records settled, the evidence discipline — is on the main page.
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.
