Legacy Replacement in Wellingborough
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.

Wellingborough · Northamptonshire
Distribution and manufacturing on the A45
Mid-sized operations here usually have good process knowledge and no internal IT. The build has to be something their own team can operate, not something that needs a developer on call.
Wellingborough sits on the A45 between Northampton and the A14, with rail freight capability and substantial industrial estates. Distribution dominates, but there is a long engineering and manufacturing tradition underneath it.
For this work that lands mainly in Manufacturing & engineering, Distribution & logistics and Construction products.

How we work here
What legacy replacement looks like in Wellingborough.
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.
-
