Anchor is a modular, API-first core system approach. Migrate in phases without downtime, connect sales/production/inventory/accounting, and redesign UI, RBAC, and audit logs end-to-end.
- Hard to predict blast radius (tight coupling / spaghetti code)
- Excel macros and personal scripts cause heavy key-person risk
- No real-time inventory/cost visibility across sites
- Vendor lock-in makes costs rigid
- Weak audit trail and authorization control
- Nightly batch makes EC/store/factory sync slow
API-first, modular boundaries
Define domain boundaries (sales, production, inventory...) and connect via APIs to enable parallel run and partial replacement.
Phased migration (coexist)
Start from a minimal value slice (PoC → pilot → rollout) and expand scope with field validation.
Observability & governance by default
Audit logs, traces, SLOs, and RBAC are designed in from day one to avoid painful operational rework.
