Challenge: Legacy App Slowed Growth and Increased Risk

A leading transportation & logistics company depended on a legacy credit-processing app plagued by inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities. Slow, error-prone workflows frustrated employees and customers, while deprecated libraries prevented vital updates. Revenue suffered from delayed credit approvals, but leadership was risk-averse about modernization. They needed expert guidance to chart a safe, strategic path forward.

Solution: Strategic Discovery for Application Modernization

Sparq led a collaborative discovery workshop to identify the safest, highest-impact modernization approach:

  • Stakeholder Alignment: Interviewed team leads, infrastructure, and engineering managers to gather insights.
  • Decision Matrix: Balanced business needs, compliance, risk, developer experience, and operational efficiency.
  • Prioritization Framework: Evaluated containerized cloud strategies, front-end modernization cadence, and technical debt vs. business enhancement priorities.
  • Clear Roadmap: Produced actionable recommendations to de-risk logistics software development and prepare for scalable growth.

Results: Confidence to Move Into Build Stage

The workshop equipped our client with the insights and confidence to proceed with their application modernization. By de-risking critical decisions and aligning stakeholders, we positioned the organization for faster revenue realization, improved security, and a streamlined build phase - laying the foundation for successful logistics software development.
