Modernizing Fragmented Legacy Systems Into One Platform | Case Study

Case Study Details:

Industry: Manufacturing
Region: U.S., EMEA
Platform & Technologies: Web, Angular, .NET Only Web-Responsive

The Challenge

A leading paint manufacturing organization relied on two decade-old legacy applications to manage critical business operations. While these systems had delivered long-term reliability, over time they became fragmented, difficult to navigate, and increasingly inefficient to scale.

 

As business complexity grew, the limitations of these disconnected systems became more pronounced. This led to delays, duplication of effort, and reduced productivity. The lack of a unified experience not only impacted operational efficiency but also created barriers to scalability. Without intervention, the organization risked losing its competitive edge in an increasingly dynamic manufacturing environment.
 
Key challenges included:

  • Overloaded interface with poor visual structure
  • Complex and unintuitive workflows
  • Fragmented features across multiple systems
  • Inconsistent interaction models
  • Outdated and inaccessible design patterns

Evoke’s Approach

Recognizing the need for transformation, the organization partnered with Evoke Technologies to address these challenges and reimagine its application landscape.
 
Evoke adopted a user-centric and research-driven approach to modernize and unify the application ecosystem.
 
Discovery and Research

  • Engaged with stakeholders to assess the business objectives and system limitations
  • Evaluated the existing products to identify usability gaps and inefficiencies

Key Insights

  • The business required a centralized application
  • Data validation and reporting were critical

User Needs

  • Users demand a high-performance experience
  • A modern, intuitive interface is required
  • Growing process complexity has created friction

 

Based on the insights, Evoke designed and developed a super app that enabled:

  • Consolidate and unified the business’s needs on a single platform
  • Enhanced workflow efficiency with improved navigation and task flows
  • Introduced a modern, intuitive interface aligned with diverse user expectations
  • Created a responsive and scalable interface for seamless cross-device usage

Outcome Metrics

  • Centralized Application Platform: Unified multiple legacy systems into a single, integrated platform supporting all core business functions
  • Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Improved navigation and streamlined task flows enabled faster and more efficient operations
  • Improved User Experience: Delivered an intuitive and accessible interface, reducing user friction and improving adoption
  • Responsive and Scalable Design: Enabled seamless usage across devices with a future-ready, scalable architecture

Strategic Value Delivered

  • Centralization Drives Efficiency and Clarity: Unifying disparate systems reduced cognitive load and enabled users to focus on high-value tasks.
  • User-Centered Workflows Improve Adoption: Designing around user mental models rather than system constraints improved usability and engagement.
  • Scalable Simplicity as a Design Principle: Established a flexible design foundation that supports future growth without reintroducing fragmentation.
