The challenge

Galplast had run a custom ERP in Visual Basic 6 + Access for 30 years. It worked, but:

They needed a modern web ERP preserving 30 years of real data intact (invoices, dispatch notes, dimensional control, quality certificates).

The solution

We performed a complete migration to PHP/MySQL with:

Tech stack

PHP 8.0 (Plesk), MariaDB 10.3, jQuery + DataTables, TCPDF, Bootstrap, Verifactu integration (XML signed with digital certificate).

Results

100% data migrated

Not a single invoice, dispatch note or certificate lost. Every record verifiable.

25,706 errors fixed

We detected historic dimensional-control lines with low/high/avg at zero. Recalculated on F1..F16.

99.8% ISO conformity

On 45,000 certificates, 99.8% match the ISO 2859-1 level II table exactly.

Mobile and factory access

Workers query from the floor. Sales reps from the customer site.

Integrated accounting

22 new views: collections, due dates, modelo 303/347, reconciliation, year-close, opening.

Maintenance cost <50%

No VB6 licenses, no Access, open auditable code.

"

We recovered 30 years of data without losing one invoice. Factory staff query from their phones.
