Hinckley · Leicestershire
Distribution and automotive technology on the M69
Hinckley builds are throughput problems. With one big site and a shifting order profile, the system is judged on how quickly it gets a pick path and a label into somebody’s hand.
Hinckley sits on the M69 between Leicester and Coventry with the A5 running past, which has made it a natural distribution location. Large warehousing operations surround the town and employ a significant share of the local workforce.
For this work that lands mainly in Manufacturing & textiles, Distribution & warehousing and Automotive technology.

How we work here
What legacy replacement looks like in Hinckley.
The full scope, phases and deliverables are on the Legacy Replacement service page. These are the parts that are specific to working here.
-
Mapped before replaced
We establish what the system actually does from its data, its outputs and the people who use it, and write it down. Usually the first time anyone has.
-
Incremental, never big-bang
One bounded piece first, reading from the old system while it still runs. A weekend cutover concentrates all the risk into one weekend.
-
Reconciled, not hoped
Rehearsed migrations with reports proving balances, counts and histories match before anything is switched off.
-
Knowledge out of heads
The business rules and the reasons behind them, documented. That often outlives the project and is the most valuable thing produced.

Questions
Legacy Replacement in Hinckley, answered.
The questions businesses in Hinckley ask before they commission this work.
What does a legacy assessment cost for a Hinckley business?
The assessment is a small fixed-price piece of work, typically a few thousand pounds over two to four weeks, producing a written map of the system, a risk register and costed options. It is deliberately standalone: you can take it to any supplier, including ones who are not us.
