Overview
TechCorp Industries relied on a legacy desktop ERP system that was becoming a bottleneck for their growing operations. The system was difficult to maintain, lacked remote access capabilities, and could not scale with the company's expansion plans.
The Challenge
The existing desktop ERP had been in use for over a decade, with deeply embedded workflows that employees depended on daily. The challenge was to migrate all functionality to a modern web platform without disrupting ongoing business operations. Data integrity during migration was critical, as the system managed inventory, invoicing, and customer relationships for over 2,000 active accounts.
The Solution
We designed a phased migration strategy that allowed both systems to run in parallel during the transition period. The new web-based ERP was built with Next.js for the frontend, providing a responsive interface that worked across all devices. The backend used Node.js with PostgreSQL, ensuring robust data handling and real-time synchronization. We implemented a custom ETL pipeline to migrate historical data while maintaining referential integrity.
Results
40% reduction in operational processing time
99.9% uptime since launch with zero data loss during migration
Remote access enabled for 150+ field employees
60% decrease in IT support tickets related to the ERP system
