Legacy Replacement in Rushden
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.

Rushden · Northamptonshire
Footwear heritage, now distribution and retail
Rushden systems have usually grown a piece at a time. The brief is rarely a clean build; it is deciding what to keep, what to join and what to quietly retire.
Rushden built its reputation on footwear and leather, and while the volume manufacturing has largely gone, the town kept a base of light manufacturing and gained substantial distribution and retail activity along the A45.
For this work that lands mainly in Light manufacturing, Distribution & fulfilment and Retail & consumer.

How we work here
What legacy replacement looks like in Rushden.
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 Rushden, answered.

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.
