Legacy System Modernization

Replace Your Legacy System With a Clear Plan and a Clear Price

Southern Code modernizes mission-critical internal software -- fast, scoped, and fixed-price -- using a Principal Engineer-led, AI-accelerated delivery model.

Used by operational businesses across North America. Nearshore delivery. Senior-led execution.

The Legacy Tax

If This Feels Familiar, You're Paying the "Legacy Tax"

Double Entry Everywhere

Parts, labor, invoices, and reporting copied across tools.

Tribal Knowledge Risk

Only one person "knows how the system works."

No Audit Trail

You can't see who changed what, when, and why.

Reporting Is Always "Half-Done"

Critical answers require manual spreadsheets.

The result: slower ops, higher errors, and growing risk every month.

What We Build

Modern Operational Software That Matches How Your Business Actually Runs

  • Modern UI that doesn't slow down your team
  • Full change history (audit trail) across the system
  • Reliable reporting: costs, labor attribution, parts usage, period billing
  • Granular permissions and role-based access
  • Integration-ready architecture (accounting, inventory, CRM, etc.)

The Southern Code Difference

Traditional Agile vs AI-Accelerated Transformation

Traditional Agile Squad
Southern Code AI-Accelerated Model

Time & materials (unknown total)

Scoped milestones + fixed price

Too many roles in the room

Principal Engineer-led execution

Sprint rituals and coordination drag

Less coordination, more building

Slow decisions, scattered ownership

Faster iteration with AI-assisted development

Delivery speed depends on team size

Predictable delivery with clear acceptance criteria

Use Cases

Who This Is For

How It Works

A Leaner Path to Modernization

012-4 weeks

Architecture Lock

We map your domain, risks, data model, and scope. Output: a locked plan and milestones.

028-20 weeks

Build in Milestones

Senior-led implementation with AI acceleration. Weekly demos. Tight feedback loop.

032-6 weeks

Validation & Cutover

Data migration plan, parallel run, user acceptance, go-live support.

No sprint theater. No endless backlog. Clear milestones and acceptance criteria.

Deliverables

Deliverables You Can Hold Us Accountable To

Technical architecture + data model
Working production-grade app (not a prototype)
Role-based access + audit trail
Reporting dashboard + exports
Documentation for operations + admin
Deployment + monitoring baseline
Optional: integration layer (accounting / inventory)

Need QuickBooks, Netsuite, or custom accounting sync? We scope integrations as a separate milestone to keep risk controlled.

Pricing Philosophy

Fixed Scope. Fixed Price. No Burn Anxiety.

We don't sell hours. We deliver outcomes. You get:

  • A scoped plan
  • Milestone pricing
  • Clear acceptance criteria
  • Change requests handled transparently (no surprise invoices)
