Legacy Replacement in Kettering
This region industrialised early in software terms too. A great deal of genuinely excellent process knowledge is locked inside systems written decades ago for one business, by someone who has since retired.

Kettering · Northamptonshire
Distribution, manufacturing and food on the A14
Systems here live or die on despatch. Everything upstream matters, but the test is whether the right pallet leaves on the right vehicle before the cut-off, every day.
Kettering sits on the A14 with the M1 a short run west, which has made it a significant distribution location in its own right rather than an overflow from Northampton. Warehousing and logistics employ a large share of the local workforce.
For this work that lands mainly in Manufacturing & engineering, Distribution & warehousing and Food production & packing.

How we work here
What legacy replacement looks like in Kettering.
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 Kettering, answered.
The questions businesses in Kettering ask before they commission this work.
What does a legacy assessment cost for a Kettering 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.
