Nikulsons & Co.

Product rebuild & redesign

Modernise legacy software one module at a time.

We redesign the experience to remove friction and unlock growth. Then rebuild it in stages, so the product keeps running while it improves.

  • Shipped in stages · from €7.5k
  • Design and dev, one team
  • Mature products hitting a growth ceiling

(01) The problem

The product works. It just holds you back.

Years of patches have left a product that’s slow to change and hard to use. Competitors ship faster, users tolerate it rather than love it, and every feature takes longer than the last.

  • Every change takes weeks

    Old code and old design make simple updates slow.
  • Users work around the product

    Spreadsheets and support calls fill the gaps.
  • Inconsistent everywhere

    Years of screens, each in a different style.
  • A rewrite feels too risky

    So nothing changes at all.

(02) What you get

A better product, without the big bang.

Audit & strategy

Where the product loses users and money, and which parts to rebuild first.

Redesigned experience

New flows and UI for the journeys that matter most, tested with real users.

Design system

One component library that replaces years of inconsistency and speeds up future releases.

Staged rebuild

Front-end and back-end rebuilt module by module, released gradually to keep disruption low.

(03) How it runs

Rebuilt in stages, live all along.

  1. Phase 1

    Audit

    Analytics, user research and a technical review of the current product.

    Plan

    A module-by-module roadmap ordered by impact and risk.
  2. Phase 2

    Redesign

    New flows and UI for the first module, plus the design system foundations.

    Validate

    Usability tests before anything gets built.
  3. Phase 3

    Rebuild

    Engineering in sprints, released module by module behind feature flags.

    Migrate

    Data and users moved over gradually, with rollback at every step.

Handover

A modern product, a documented system and a team that knows it. We stay on as a dedicated team or hand over to yours.
