System revamps for software staff hate
Raze Drops builds system revamps for owners whose managers hate the software they are stuck with, replacing it in stages so the data comes across intact and the business keeps running throughout. Nobody is asked to switch everything over on a single weekend.

Every business has one system that everybody complains about and nobody replaces, because replacing it means a migration, a training week and a fortnight of things going wrong. So the complaint becomes permanent. This page describes how we revamp a system in stages, and what it costs.
What does an owner lose by keeping the old system?
Time, in small pieces, everywhere. Staff build workarounds, keep private spreadsheets and re enter things the system should have carried, and all of that looks like normal work.
There is a second cost that is harder to see: your managers stop asking for improvements, because they have learned that nothing about this system ever changes. Good people quietly route around it, and so do your reports.
What does a staged revamp actually involve?
We start with the part that hurts most, build a replacement for that alone, and run it beside the old system until it is clearly better and the data matches.
Then the next part, and the next, so there is never a weekend where the whole business depends on a switch. Your data comes across as a first class concern rather than an afterthought, and the new pieces are ordinary AI software connected through integration to whatever is still running.
What does a revamp cost and how long does each stage take?
Each stage is priced per project, from $300 to $9,000, so you approve one piece at a time rather than a single large number, with a monthly maintenance retainer once pieces are live.
The proposal and the solution come before any deal is signed, and you own the result at handover. Owners often read automated reporting systems for owners and white label delivery for resellers as neighbouring pages.
| Replacing the old system | As a big bang project | As a staged revamp |
|---|---|---|
| Where it starts | Everything at once | The part that hurts most |
| Risk on switch day | The whole business | One workflow, run in parallel |
| Data | Migrated and hoped for | Checked against the old system first |
| Training | A week nobody has | One piece at a time, as it lands |
| If something is wrong | Roll back the entire project | Keep the old piece running |
