01 — Why us

Three principles,
that distinguish modernisation from a rewrite.

An application that slows down your business doesn’t need to be discarded. It needs to be read, understood, and rebuilt piece by piece—while operations keep running.

01

Progressive migration

Coexistence of old and new until full switch. Your teams keep working while we modernize. No business interruption, no freeze on ongoing developments.

02

We take over the existing, we don’t discard it

PHP, Java, .NET, Symfony, legacy Rails, Bubble, Airtable: we audit, extract what holds value, rebuild what needs to be. No rewrite for the sake of it.

03

Handover to internal teams included

Documentation, code reviews, training. Our goal isn’t to become indispensable. You take back control whenever you want—it’s part of the scope, not an add-on.

AI in the takeover

AI speeds up the takeover,
not blindly.

Most integrators modernize manually. We use AI to read, rebuild, and document faster and more reliably—with human oversight at every step, and your code never leaving your premises.

Audit & mapping

Understanding a codebase no one masters anymore

AI agents read and map a massive, undocumented codebase: dead code, hidden dependencies, missing documentation reconstructed. The riskiest step in a takeover becomes quantifiable—we illuminate blind spots before any commitment.

Rebuilding

Migrating without breaking

Generation of non-regression tests to ensure old/new equivalence, assisted porting (PHP → TypeScript), documentation produced as we go. AI handles the repetitive; our devs retain architectural decisions.

Handover

Documentation that doesn’t expire

Documentation generated and kept up to date alongside the code, so your teams can take over—without depending on us or static docs delivered on the final day.

Your code stays in-house.We analyze your proprietary code using sovereign models (Mistral, Scaleway) or on-premise/self-hosted. No AI-washing: at each step, a precise tool, a measurable gain, a human who validates.
02 — Our fields

Four modernisation scenarios.

Four concrete cases with documented deliverables and production feedback. Not an abstract promise of “we can take over anything” — a scope we commit to.

01

Aging monolithic application

Outdated stack, heavy technical debt, no one knows how to evolve it. We audit, plan, and replace module by module — without breaking what’s running.

PHPSymfonyJava.NET
02

No-code tool that has hit its limits

Bubble, Airtable, FlutterFlow that can no longer handle the load or business rules. Switch to maintainable code without losing data or users.

03

SaaS locked into an old stack

A product that runs but is becoming hard to maintain, evolve, or pass investor audits. Targeted reconstruction of critical modules.

Technical debt auditRefactoringDue diligence
04

Hard-to-maintain internal tool

Custom ERP, in-house back-office, business scripts accumulated over the years. We modernise without rewriting everything — we take over what holds value.

03 — Target stack

What we modernise towards.

Scroll’s standard target stack — modern, maintainable, recruit-friendly. No exotic tech with no future. The source code returns to you, in your Git, with no permanent dependency on Scroll.

Target stack can be adapted to context: modern Java or Python if your IT team is already using them. The goal isn’t to force Next.js everywhere — it’s to set a target you’ll be able to maintain.
04 — Case study

JeRêveDuneMaison: from a rigid business app to a modern stack.

Business application for managing property hunter mandates, clients, and administrators. Progressive migration to Next.js + Supabase + PostgreSQL, with full documentation and support. Coexistence of old and new systems until the final switch.

05 — Modernisation method

Four steps, no big bang.

A dedicated team from scoping to delivery with a dedicated project lead

01 — Audit

The existing system, independently.

System mapping, identifying bottlenecks, assessing technical debt, defining success criteria. Deliverable: diagnosis + migration plan + estimate. 1 to 3 weeks.

02 — Plan

The migration plan.

Which modules to keep, which to replace, in what order, and how they will coexist. Validation with your IT and business teams before any development. No surprises along the way.

03 — Rebuild

Module by module.

2-week sprints, delivery by modules. Your users switch over gradually, with no disruption. Automated testing and monitoring from the first module in production.

04 — Transfer

Final switch and autonomy.

Decommissioning the old system, team training, final documentation. Progressive handover to internal teams if desired — your IT regains control before the contract ends.

06 — Outcome

What you take away at the end.

A modernisation is only successful if your teams regain control. The source code returns to you, your devs are trained, and legacy subscriptions are terminated. No irreversible steps.

Source code is yours

TypeScript reviewed, tested, and documented. In your Git, under your licence. Not a blob exported from a third-party tool.

Data preserved

Historical data migration, integrity verified, process documented. User history is never compromised.

Teams trained

Training sessions, pair programming, documentation. Your devs take back control before the contract ends. No permanent dependency.

Legacy decommissioned

The old system is phased out gradually, module by module, after validated migration of each scope. No abrupt shutdown.

07 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions we hear during scoping. If yours isn’t here, get in touch!

Between 2 and 6 months, depending on the system’s size. The audit provides a firm estimate after 1 to 3 weeks—no blind quotes. A 10-year-old Symfony monolith with 80 tables is nothing like an 18-month-old Bubble app; we quote after real mapping, not before.

No. Coexistence between old and new is our default method—never a big bang. Your teams keep working, your users keep using the app, and business evolutions aren’t frozen. Modules switch over one by one, after continuous testing.

It’s decommissioned progressively, module by module, after each scope’s validated switch. No abrupt shutdown. Throughout the migration, old and new run in parallel, with explicit routing rules. The final module switches when you’re ready—not before.

Yes, systematically. Co-construction, code reviews, training, and pair programming at the end of the mission. Knowledge transfer is part of the scope—not an optional extra. Our goal isn’t to make ourselves indispensable to your operations: your teams can take over before the contract ends if they wish.

PHP, Symfony, Java, .NET, Ruby, Python, legacy Node. For no-code: Bubble, Airtable, FlutterFlow, WeWeb, Retool. For internal tools: custom ERPs, proprietary back-offices, accumulated business scripts. Independent audit in 1 to 3 weeks to assess feasibility before any reconstruction commitment.

This is a dedicated expertise: taking over “vibe-coded” projects. The logic differs from historical legacy—no debt accumulated over years, but often a missing architectural coherence. See our offer for vibe-coded/AI-coded project takeovers.

We keep what holds business value and works. A data access layer, a robust business rules library, an admin interface that does the job: no reason to discard. We rarely keep the frontend, almost never the authentication, and always the data. The exact scope is defined during mapping.

That’s precisely why the initial mapping takes 1 to 3 weeks. We identify blind spots, orphaned modules, hidden dependencies, duplicated data—before any delivery commitment. The switch plan explicitly lists residual risks.
The right time

Should we modernise now?

Modernisation is never urgent… until an event makes it urgent. If any of these signals resonate, the audit (1 to 3 weeks) tells you where you stand—with no reconstruction commitment.

01

Due diligence before a funding round or acquisition

An investor or acquirer will audit your code. Uncontrolled debt lowers valuation—or kills the deal.

02

The last developer who knows the system is leaving

When the only person who understands the legacy code departs, every update becomes a gamble. Mapping restores knowledge to the team, not to one individual.

03

A technology reaches end of support

PHP 7, an unmaintained framework, an abandoned dependency: once support ends, every vulnerability remains open. Modernising beforehand means choosing your own timeline.

04

A security incident has raised the alarm

Intrusion, leak, failed audit: legacy becomes a board-level risk. We secure by rebuilding critical modules, not by patching.
