Forbytes

Concentrating on complex systems rather than simple websites, Forbytes builds custom software to modernize platforms that are already running. Its work upgrades architecture, reduces technical debt and reworks legacy code in increments, so that a business can keep trading while the change happens. The firm states that it has delivered more than 200 modernization and integration projects, and that its delivery teams are made up mainly of senior engineers who can work with older code and architectural limits.

Integration of ERP, CRM and warehouse systems

Forbytes connects ERP, CRM, ecommerce and internal tools so that data moves between them without manual copying, which the firm presents as a way to remove data silos and automate workflows. Its project list includes linking warehouse management systems, a payment solution and Microsoft Dynamics NAV for one client, with daily financial data sync and real-time stock updates. Its work for another client, the property management system Guesty, modernized a legacy platform and added portal features that property managers and owners asked for.

Case results and team extension

Among the results the firm lists are a slow e-commerce site rebuilt to load six times faster, a mobile app for around 20,000 users that now receives features three times faster with 80 percent fewer support tickets, and a portal update that improved data visibility by half. Its team extension service places engineers with a client's staff, matching the existing technology and working methods, which adds skills without rebuilding the internal team. These are the firm's own reported outcomes from its case studies, and the firm points to them as evidence of what its modernization approach delivers in practice.
