Legacy Replacement in Tamworth

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.

Tamworth · Staffordshire

A distribution hub where the M42 meets the A5

Systems built here are judged on what happens between the order landing and the vehicle leaving. Everything else is secondary, and anything that adds a step to that sequence will be worked around within a week.

Tamworth is a distribution town. The meeting of the M42, the A5 and the A38 put it inside the ideal delivery radius for most of England, and the result is a concentration of warehousing and national distribution operations well out of proportion to the town’s size.

For this work that lands mainly in Light manufacturing, Distribution & warehousing and Logistics & fulfilment.

Where it lands

The Tamworth sectors this work suits.

Drawn from what Tamworth is actually built on, rather than a list of industries we would accept work from.

  1. Light manufacturing

    Component and product manufacture, typically supplying larger assemblers or the construction sector.

  2. Distribution & warehousing

    National distribution operations serving the whole country from a single site, with the cut-off and carrier complexity that brings.

  3. Logistics & fulfilment

    Pick, pack and despatch operations including third-party fulfilment on behalf of brands that hold no stock themselves.

How we work here

What legacy replacement looks like in Tamworth.

The full scope, phases and deliverables are on the Legacy Replacement service page. These are the parts that are specific to working here.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Reconciled, not hoped

    Rehearsed migrations with reports proving balances, counts and histories match before anything is switched off.

  4. 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.

  5. On site in Tamworth

    Tamworth is quick for us off the M42 and often paired with Lichfield or Cannock in the same visit. Discovery and the sessions that decide a design happen in person; delivery then runs remotely with scheduled reviews, and there is no travel charge inside the Golden Triangle.
