Legacy Replacement in Cannock
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.

Cannock · Staffordshire
Distribution and manufacturing on the M6 Toll
The usual Cannock brief is a business that has outgrown its spreadsheets but not its process. The logic is sound; what is missing is concurrency, an audit trail and the ability to survive the person who built it leaving.
Cannock sits where the M6 Toll, the A5 and the A34 meet, which has made it a natural location for distribution operations wanting motorway access without Birmingham’s congestion.
For this work that lands mainly in Manufacturing & engineering, Distribution & logistics and Trade supply & merchants.

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

Questions
Legacy Replacement in Cannock, answered.

The assessment is a small fixed-price piece of work, typically a few thousand pounds over two to four weeks, producing a written map of the system, a risk register and costed options. It is deliberately standalone: you can take it to any supplier, including ones who are not us.
