The system runs the business.
One person runs the system.
An MS Access app, a FoxPro database, a custom ERP nobody dares touch — built years ago, undocumented, and tied to one developer. A rewrite feels too risky. dForge lets you modernize one workflow at a time, on real infrastructure, without a big-bang cutover.
- A single developer (or none) keeps a critical system alive.
- It's 10+ years old, undocumented, and "don't touch it or it breaks."
- A trigger just changed — that person is leaving, an audit, an acquisition.
- You've priced a rewrite and it's too big, too risky, all at once.
Feed your existing SQL or DBML into the schema importer. It infers entities, fields, and relationships into a real dForge module to build on.
Move a single process first, prove it in production, then expand. dForge runs alongside the legacy system during the transition — no risky cutover.
Postgres under the hood, metadata you can read and review, role-based security built in. The bus-factor problem goes away.
Modules worth installing first for this.
Warehouse management: procurement requests, PO workflow, stock operations, inventory tracking. Vendor identity lives in the shared parties module; WMS-specific columns (supplier code, payment terms) are layered as an extension.
Accounts receivable, accounts payable, invoicing, and payments
