DEMO CASE STUDY

A retail chain leaving a single-developer application

Industry
Retail
Legacy system
Custom desktop application

Demo case study. Illustrative scenario, not a real customer reference. Real references are provided on request once available.

Business problem

The application had been maintained by one developer for years. Stock per store was unreliable, and any change request waited for a single person.

Migration

  • Database reverse engineering and documentation
  • Product catalogue de-duplication before migration
  • Stock recount at cut-over, per store
  • Store staff training before go-live

RATON solution

  • Multi-location inventory with transfers
  • Replenishment based on real sales
  • Reporting per store and per channel
  • Documented platform instead of undocumented code

Result

Stock figures became trustworthy enough to plan replenishment on. Figures are illustrative.

Lessons learned

  • Clean the catalogue before, not after
  • Recount stock at cut-over
  • Key-person risk is a business risk, not an IT detail
