Task

The client was a long-established provider (since 1999) of POS and management systems targeting car wash and quick-lube businesses. Their existing system had a poor-quality codebase riddled with bugs and lacked almost any documentation. Despite this, there was an urgent need to continue developing new features such as a new receipt format, various types of reports, and gamification elements to improve management processes. The project was an improvement and stabilization effort on an existing platform with significant technical debt

Solution

The team implemented a comprehensive refactoring plan to enhance code quality and system stability while simultaneously developing new functionalities aligned with updated business requirements. Documentation efforts were introduced gradually to improve long-term maintainability. The solution ensured ongoing scalability and operational reliability for Micrologic’s browser-based platform (LogicWash®) and handheld device ecosystem

Impact

After the refactoring process, the system's stability improved significantly, with a reduction of up to 70% in bug-related disruptions. New features enhanced customer engagement and operational control, leading to higher client satisfaction. Maintenance costs dropped by 30% thanks to improved documentation and a more maintainable codebase. This comprehensive upgrade significantly boosted system reliability and efficiency

Project development highlights
01
Refactored Legacy System

The legacy codebase underwent a structured refactoring process, which significantly reduced the number of recurring bugs up to 70%  and improved overall platform stability

02
Advanced Reporting Module

A new reporting module was designed and implemented, enabling service centers to access detailed operational analytics and make data-driven decisions more efficiently

03
Updated Receipt Management

The receipt-generation workflow was fully redesigned to support a modernized format and business-specific requirements, resulting in faster processing and fewer printing errors

04
Improved Maintainability

Previously undocumented and inconsistent code sections were systematically rewritten and documented, transforming the platform into a scalable, maintainable, and developer-friendly system

05

Development Process

The team performed a step-by-step refactoring of critical modules using .NET 8, modernized JavaScript components, and restructured SQL stored procedures to optimize performance and reliability. Reporting functionality was implemented using Stimulsoft, including new templates and data pipelines. The legacy database design was updated to support new workflow requirements, and comprehensive technical documentation was added
