Internal IT Team Modernizing Legacy Business Tools

An internal IT department at a logistics company is tasked with modernizing several legacy tools used for managing fleet schedules, shift planning, and fuel cost tracking. The existing tools are a mix of outdated Excel macros and PHP scripts with rudimentary interfaces.

The team wants to:

  • Standardize the frontend across tools with a consistent, professional UX.
  • Maintain Laravel as their backend framework of choice.
  • Ensure long-term maintainability and reduce dependency on frontend micro-framework sprawl.

They adopt LaravelUi5 to introduce a structured frontend architecture based on OpenUI5, giving them a rich component library, built-in accessibility, and a responsive layout system right out of the box.

With LaravelUi5:

  • Each tool is gradually rebuilt as a modular UI5 app backed by Laravel APIs.
  • Developers focus on data and logic in Laravel, while frontend engineers build reusable UI components.
  • The result feels like an internal SAP-grade suite, without the cost or complexity of SAP integration.

Result

  • Modern, unified UIs across all internal tools.
  • Faster development cycles with clearer code separation.
  • Empowered IT team capable of maintaining and extending tools independently.
