Our client operates as a vital link between fruit producers and international buyers, specialising in the export of citrus and stone fruit. The core of their operation relied heavily on manual Excel order forms shared via email—an error-prone process that made scaling difficult, hindered team efficiency, and created knowledge bottlenecks.

In addition, their reliance on a packaged ERP system, XYZErp, created further friction. XYZErp handled all downstream processes post-order but was bloated, inflexible, and mismatched to their specific workflows. They were paying for a fraction of the platform’s functionality while having to adapt their business to fit the tool, rather than the other way around.

Peach didn’t just want technical expertise – they required innovative and creative developers that could meet their high-quality standards and help them take their web platform to the next level.

Through our Dedicated Team and Specialist IT Resourcing services, we provide Peach with expert skillsets to support its operations. We’ve been boosting their in-house team with frontend (React, TypeScript), backend (AWS API Gateway, Lambda), database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redshift) and QA engineers, helping Peach to meet its growth targets, living up to the highest standards in the industry.

 

Vulcan Labs partnered with the client to completely reimagine their systems through an agile and iterative development approach. The first milestone was replacing the legacy Excel ordering process with a custom-built, web-based ordering application—offering intuitive, Excel-like inline editing to ease adoption and reduce human error.

Next, we expanded the platform to manage master data and progressively replicated and enhanced key XYZErp features. We focused on creating user-centric workflows and added custom functionality that wasn’t possible within the XYZErp environment.To ensure operational continuity, we developed a real-time database-level integration between XYZErp and our new platform. This hybrid approach allowed for a smooth, phased migration—each new feature was seamlessly integrated into XYZErp until the client was fully transitioned to the new system, without any disruption to their business.Today, the client operates entirely from the Vulcan Labs solution—built around their needs, with the flexibility to evolve alongside their business.
