The challenge
What we were solving for
Vantage Robotics ran its production scheduling and inventory tracking on an internal tool built almost a decade earlier. The system had become slow, brittle, and difficult to change without breaking something else.
Manual workarounds had accumulated over the years, and the engineers who originally built the platform had since left the company — so every change carried outsized risk.
Our approach
How we tackled it
Vali assembled a dedicated team to audit, re-architect, and rebuild the platform in iterative, shippable phases rather than a risky big-bang rewrite.
We prioritized the highest-friction workflows first, shipping improvements the operations team could feel within weeks instead of waiting months for a full replacement.
- Audited the legacy system and mapped every critical workflow end to end
- Re-architected the core platform for maintainability and scale
- Shipped in two-week sprints with continuous stakeholder feedback
- Trained the internal team to own and extend the system after launch
Results
What came of it
38%
Faster workflow completion
0
Manual workarounds remaining
99.9%
Uptime since launch
Six months after launch, the operations team completes scheduling and inventory workflows more than a third faster, with none of the manual spreadsheet workarounds that used to fill the gaps. The platform has run without a single unplanned outage since go-live.
Stack
Technology used
“Vali's team embedded quickly and delivered exactly what we needed, on time. They understood our operations well enough to challenge our assumptions, not just build what we asked for.”
