The context
Understanding the challenge.
Jeevandeep’s business runs on a custom VB6 and SQL Server system built by Easysoftbiz. The modernization scope includes 200+ forms, 150+ custom reports, and 15 years of historical business data, alongside new GST and communication workflows.
Our approach.
Working with Easysoftbiz and Jeevandeep’s team, we are building Accountify around the books industry’s specific workflows. The migration plan includes schema mapping, validation, a parallel run, and a controlled cutover. New capabilities include WhatsApp Business integration and planned GST return generation.
