Yeah, I’ve run into that exact mess a bunch too—those old systems weren’t built with mobile in mind, so slapping on an app often means fighting compatibility weirdness or risking downtime nobody can afford. In my experience, the least painful route usually involves building a solid middleware layer that talks to the legacy backend without touching core processes directly, kind of like adding a translator instead of rewriting the whole book. Keeps everything humming along while the mobile side pulls what it needs in real time. Someone I know recently went with a custom dev approach that focused on phased rollouts and strong API connections, which avoided big disruptions and let the team actually use the app productively pretty quick.

Last year at my old job, we tried bolting on a simple field service app to our dinosaur of an ERP, and it turned into a n…[Read more]
