Burton upon Trent · Staffordshire
The UK’s brewing capital and a food and drink manufacturing centre
Burton systems are shaped by batch. Everything — costing, quality, stock, traceability and recall — hangs off the batch record, and a data model that treats it as an afterthought will fail its first audit.
Burton is the historic centre of British brewing and remains a major food and drink manufacturing location. That brings a very particular set of requirements: batch traceability, shelf life, duty, allergen control and documentation that has to stand up to both a retailer and a regulator.
For this work that lands mainly in Engineering & plant, Brewing & beverage and Food production.

How we work here
What legacy replacement looks like in Burton upon Trent.
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.
