# Modernize the systems your business runs on.

Enterprise modernization for small and midsize businesses.

When stock lives in one system, orders in another, and your team fills the gaps with spreadsheets, growth creates more manual work. Devekko helps you connect and modernize the systems your business runs on, from the warehouse floor to the management report.

## Modernize the systems your team uses every day

### Warehouse modernization

Give receiving, picking, packing, and stock control a shared view of the work. We review warehouse management systems (WMS), inventory locations, barcode workflows, and connections to stores and carriers. The scope can include platform selection, migration, integrations, and staff tools.

**Measure:** inventory accuracy, pick errors, and time from order release to dispatch.

### Order management modernization

Follow an order from purchase through allocation, fulfillment, cancellation, and returns. We map order management system (OMS) rules across channels and locations, connect order status, and give staff a clear queue for exceptions that need attention.

**Measure:** manual touches per order, unresolved exceptions, and order-to-dispatch time.

### Ecommerce modernization

Connect the storefront to the operation that fulfills its promises. Scope can cover Shopify or BigCommerce migration, a store refresh, catalog cleanup, checkout, subscriptions, and inventory or finance integrations. We plan redirects, data checks, and release acceptance alongside the customer experience.

**Measure:** purchase completion, order-sync failures, and support requests about order status.

### Internal tools modernization

Replace fragile spreadsheet handoffs with tools built around the job. Staff portals, approval queues, supplier workflows, and operational dashboards can share validated data and record who changed what. We review permissions and exception handling with the people doing the work.

**Measure:** task completion time, rekeying, and work waiting for approval.

### AI-driven agentic workflows

Give a bounded workflow an assistant that can gather approved information, propose a next step, and use permitted tools. Examples include triaging order exceptions, preparing purchasing recommendations, and drafting support responses. Cloudflare Workers AI is our starting inference platform.

**Measure:** accepted outputs, correction rate, cost per completed task, and human review time.

### Data warehousing and reporting

Bring commerce, inventory, finance, and customer data into a reporting layer with agreed definitions. We scope data pipelines, quality checks, access controls, and dashboards so teams can trace a number back to its source. Operational systems continue to own their transactions.

**Measure:** data freshness, reconciliation differences, and time spent preparing reports.

### The foundations that keep it running

Modernization also includes identity and access, integration ownership, backups and recovery checks, monitoring, documentation, and staff training. We review the systems you already pay for, assign an owner to each critical connection, and plan how your team will support the result.

**Measure:** access-review completion, recovery-test results, recurring incidents, and operating cost.

## Start with the workflow that is costing you most

An order arrives, stock is allocated, the warehouse ships it, finance records it, and the customer gets an update. Every handoff needs an owner, a source of truth, and a way to recover when something fails.

We map that path with your team and decide which systems to retain, connect, improve, or replace. The first phase might address stock synchronization or a daily reporting bottleneck. A larger platform change follows when the dependencies and business case are understood.

Bring your current platforms, a recurring problem, and the people who handle it. Your existing IT provider, warehouse team, finance lead, and software vendors can participate in the agreed scope.

## Choose a practical starting point

### Modernization Roadmap

For a business that needs to decide where to invest. We review the chosen systems and workflows, map dependencies, and compare the options. The agreed deliverables include a systems map, prioritized backlog, cost assumptions, risk register, and first-project brief.

**Decision:** which change to fund first, what to keep, and what evidence is still missing. The roadmap can be a standalone engagement.

### Connected Workflow Pilot

For one bottleneck with a clear owner. We define a bounded workflow, its integrations, success measures, and acceptance checks. The pilot includes the agreed implementation, evaluation, operating instructions, and a review before broader rollout.

**Decision:** adopt, revise, or stop based on the evidence. A warehouse exception queue, order-status integration, or reporting pipeline can be a useful first scope.

### Phased Modernization Program

For an agreed roadmap that crosses several systems. We sequence migrations and releases, coordinate vendors, reconcile data, support user acceptance, and prepare the cutover and recovery plan. Training, handover, and ongoing care are scoped with the delivery work.

**Decision:** accept each phase against agreed criteria before expanding the rollout. Fees, schedule, capacity, support, and third-party costs are set out in the proposal.

## Make the business case visible

We establish a baseline before setting targets. That might be hours spent reconciling stock, order errors per thousand orders, reporting delays, or the cost of maintaining a custom integration.

Total cost of ownership includes migration and implementation, subscriptions, hosting, AI usage, support, staff training, and the cost of operating old and new systems during transition. We record assumptions and compare scenarios over an agreed period.

Released staff time, avoided costs, and additional gross profit are different benefits. We report them separately and account for overlap. ROI and payback estimates remain planning scenarios until operating results support them.

## Put controls around AI actions and system changes

An agentic workflow needs a defined task, approved data, limited tool permissions, and an action log. We scope human approval for consequential actions such as refunds, purchasing commitments, bulk inventory changes, or customer communications. Evaluation includes failures and the handoff to a person.

For migrations, we agree record counts and reconciliation rules, rehearse critical workflows, and define cutover owners and recovery steps. Downtime tolerance, backup restoration, and any parallel operation are planned with the business before release.

Own the downside with a growth mindset.

## Common questions

### Is this suitable for a small or midsize business?

Yes. The scope follows the operational problem and the team available to run the result. You can start with one workflow or a systems review and decide on further phases after that work is accepted.

### Do we need to replace our ERP, WMS, or OMS?

We assess what each system does well and where the gaps are. An integration, better data ownership, or a staff tool may resolve the problem. Replacement is one option to compare against the cost and risk of keeping the current system.

### Can you work alongside our existing IT provider and vendors?

Yes. The proposal defines access, responsibilities, approvals, and support ownership across your team, Devekko, and the vendors involved. Hardware, specialist warehouse equipment, and on-site work require explicit scoping.

### What is the difference between a warehouse and a data warehouse?

A warehouse management system helps run physical stock and fulfillment. A data warehouse brings information from business systems together for analysis and reporting. The two can connect, but they serve different jobs.

### How is this different from product management or digital strategy?

[Digital strategy](/services/digital-strategy) helps choose investments across the business. [Product development and management](/services/product-development-and-management) guides a product from discovery through release and improvement. Enterprise modernization focuses on changing the existing operational systems, integrations, and data your business depends on.

### Can you guarantee savings or uninterrupted trading?

We agree acceptance criteria, migration checks, recovery steps, and a measurement plan. Savings and service continuity depend on the systems, vendors, data, and operating constraints; commitments are documented in the project agreement.

## Bring us the handoff that keeps breaking

Tell us which systems you use, where work gets stuck, and who has to fix it. We’ll use that context to discuss the first useful scope.
