Legacy System Automation

Modernise Without Replacing

Not every critical business application lives in the cloud. Many organisations rely on decades-old ERPs, terminal systems, or desktop software that have no API or modern integration options.

Power Automate Desktop solves this by recording and replicating human mouse clicks and keystrokes — interacting with any application exactly as a human would, but at machine speed and with zero errors.

Client Results

Legacy Systems Automated

Our AS400 system is 30 years old and has no API. DevAutomatrix built a PAD flow that extracts our daily inventory data, formats it, and loads it into our modern BI tool automatically every night.

The desktop flow handles our council portal submissions. What used to require 2 staff members working for an entire day is now fully automated. We reallocated those people to higher-value work.

Exactly what we needed for our SAP data entry bottleneck. The flow runs overnight and our team arrives to find everything already processed and ready for review. Game changer.
