Legacy systems slowing you down? Let's fix that

Outdated platforms block omnichannel growth, drain budgets, and create security risks. Claranet helps you modernise at your pace, without the big-bang risk.

£1.2m Avg. annual legacy maintenance spend (250–3000-employee retailer)
9 month Delay to new features caused by siloed, on-prem systems*
70% Breaches exploiting unpatched legacy software

The cost of standing still

Legacy ERP, POS, and monolithic applications weren’t built for modern retail. They slow everything down, from rolling out new features to integrating data across channels, while maintenance costs soar and vulnerabilities increase.

Your competitors are moving fast with cloud, automation, and API-led innovation. If your systems can’t keep up, neither can your business.
