Visionnaire helped G.Laffitte continue investing in existing systems by modernizing and developing new functionalities

Client
G.Laffitte 

Area
Civil Construction 

Summarized Problem
G.Laffitte, specialized in subdivisions and gated communities, sought to modernize its technology operations. Its systems, based on ASP.NET, Access, C#, and Angular were fragmented, with little validation and heavy reliance on manual processes, limiting efficiency and growth. Legacy code hindered evolution, and dissatisfaction with former suppliers—who lacked agility and adequate support—drove the company to seek a reliable technology partner to maintain and evolve its platforms with professionalism and modern solutions. 

Summarized Solution
Visionnaire stabilized the system’s performance, ensuring operability through performance improvements, data validation, and continuous maintenance. The company also provided agile support and modernized parts of the legacy code with updated Microsoft technologies, also using frameworks such as Angular and React. This allowed G.Laffitte to preserve its investment while operating with stability and serving clients more effectively. 

Results
With Visionnaire's technological knowledge and expertise, G.Laffitte's system became stable and reliable, robust enough to meet new demands and needs. Visionnaire not only successfully managed the maintenance phase but also became a key pillar in the transition process. 

The work carried out during this period demonstrates that our partnership goes beyond development: we are ready to work at every stage of a client's journey, from legacy system management to strategic process support. 

The story of G.Laffitte and Visionnaire is an example of how strategic collaboration and careful project management can transform challenges into opportunities, allowing clients to prepare for the future safely and efficiently. 

Technologies
In this specific project, the following technologies were used: SQL Server and PL-SQL databases; C# and JavaScript programming languages; ASP.NET, React, AngularJS, and .NET framework libraries; Azure (all software components are in the Microsoft Azure cloud); Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio Code IDEs (Integrated Development Environments); Windows Server 2012 operating system; and JSON Web Token (JWT), used for authentication through the IdentityGlaffitte API, which returns a token authorizing future requests.

Visionnaire - Case - G.Laffitte

Detailed Problem
G. Laffitte is a subdivision and real estate development company specializing in subdivisions and gated communities. The company is family-run and preparing for its third generation of management. 

The company operated on a set of software systems based on Microsoft technologies and needed a partner to continue operating the systems and develop new solutions. 

The systems, focused on real estate, primarily land and subdivision management, functioned more as an auxiliary than a central data source, with manual processes and minimal validation, limiting operational growth and efficiency. The lack of validation and a robust interface made management difficult, and the company lacked a dedicated partner for maintenance and development of the solution. 

The client was not receiving good service from previous companies and was looking for a partner with professional, fast service that delivered results. Additionally, the existing code was very old (legacy) and needed to be modernized. 

Detailed Solution
Visionnaire's first mission was to stabilize the system's performance, which was slow, and focus on maintenance and minor improvements. The objective was clear: to ensure the existing system's operability while G.Laffitte planned its next strategic move. 

During this period, our team focused on improving performance, with optimizations that made operations faster and more stable; implementing validation rules and interface improvements, transforming an unreliable system into a centralized and more secure tool; and efficient maintenance, with agile support and continuous problem resolution. 

With its expertise in these technologies, Visionnaire was the ideal partner for G.Laffitte to take on the project and continue development, striving to meet all the client's needs at the time, taking over the systems and providing professional and responsive service. 

Not only that, but Visionnaire also updated much of the code to the latest versions of Microsoft technologies, also using frameworks such as Angular and React. 

With consolidated expertise and knowledge, Visionnaire allowed G.Laffitte to continue its systems, without losing the investment already made, and to serve its lot and subdivision customers well.
