Training and certification tracker
Concept for a manufacturer with 30 trainers · Manufacturing, trades and construction
A manufacturer with four sites, 900 employees and 30 trainers runs about 700 training sessions a year: forklift, welding, first aid, electrical safety. Attendance is taken on paper and typed into a spreadsheet at the end of the week.
- Session calendar. Sessions, rooms and trainers in one calendar, with clashes blocked automatically.
- QR sign-in. Attendees scan a code on their phone, and the trainer confirms the list in one tap.
- Certificates on the spot. A certificate is created and emailed the moment a session is completed.
- Expiry map. A grid of teams and months shows where certification is dropping, weeks before it becomes a problem.

What usually goes wrong.
Old software often holds years of valuable business rules, but it becomes risky. Only one person understands it, updates keep getting postponed and it cannot connect to newer tools. A full rewrite sounds tempting but can stop the business for months.
What we build.
We start with a fixed price $750 assessment of the system, the data, the hosting and the risks. Then we fix or move the riskiest parts first, one piece at a time, while the old system keeps running. Only the parts that truly block the business get rebuilt.
- Assessment of the system and the risks
- Step by step modernisation plan
- Tests and dependency updates
- Better screens and structure
- Data and hosting migration
- Careful rollout and handover
How we switch it on safely.
Each stage is tested, rolled out carefully and can be undone if something goes wrong. Data is checked against the old system before anything is switched off. You end up with software that is safer, documented and easier to change.
A good fit if:
- Updates are slow, risky or depend on one person
- The system runs on outdated or unsupported technology
- A full rewrite would disrupt important work
Works with: Legacy databases, monoliths, cloud infrastructure, APIs, authentication, monitoring, CI/CD and modern web interfaces.

What people ask before hiring us.
Should we modernize or rebuild our old system?
It depends on what still works. Our $750 assessment shows which parts are worth keeping and which should be replaced.
Can you modernize without downtime?
Usually, by moving one part at a time while the old system keeps running.
How much does legacy software modernization cost?
The assessment is a fixed $750. The work after that is priced in stages once the risks are clear.
