Committed to Excellence. Trusted Clients
Handing over an active codebase to a new agency can feel highly risky.
Our support and maintenance contracts provide continuous technical assistance and consulting, including bug fixes, regular security updates and personalised guidance.
“We require full access to any existing codebase under NDA upfront so we can assess its technical health. If that’s not possible, we include a mutual walk-away clause. Some projects prove unmaintainable due to heavy technical debt or serious security issues.”
Depending on the project, an assessment may cover:
→ Code health, architecture patterns, and technical debt hotspots
→ PHP, framework, and third-party dependency versions cross-checked against active CVEs
→ Database query performance, data modeling, and schema issues
→ Test coverage, CI/CD pipeline reliability, and deployment procedures
→ Third-party integrations, webhook stability, and data flow resilience
→ Urgent security fixes vs. long-term architectural upgrades
Keep your business applications aligned with active security standards. We assess your legacy codebase, identify deprecated functions and breaking changes, and execute systematic upgrades.
→ Safe version jumps across major releases (PHP 7.x → 8.x, legacy Laravel 5/6/8 → latest)
→ Complete dependency alignment and package modernisation
→ Automated regression testing to safeguard existing business logic
→ Zero-downtime, staged deployments with complete rollback plans
Improve maintainability and stability without altering the core business processes.
→ Breaking down bloated controllers and tangled monolithic files into clean, domain-driven modules
→ Introducing automated test suites as risk insurance before modifying core code
→ Improving database indexing, query optimisation, and caching strategies
→ Retaining all working operational workflows while eliminating fragile technical workarounds
Bridge your legacy software with modern tools.
→ Design and implement secure RESTful and GraphQL APIs
→ Build automated data synchronisation between legacy databases, ERPs, and CRMs
→ Upgrade error handling, automated retry logic, and monitoring across all data pipelines
→ Decouple frontend interfaces from legacy backends using modern headless or micro-service patterns
Modernisation is not a one-and-done event. Critical platforms require ongoing maintenance for performance, security, and system compatibility.
With Laramate:
→ Direct Senior Developer Access.Speak to the developers who handle and understand your codebase.
→ 24/7 Automated Error Monitoring. Continuous background observability catches system faults before users notice them.
→ Proactive Security Patching. Regular dependency tracking and fast remediation of newly published CVE vulnerabilities.
→ Predictable Support Retainers. Fixed monthly hour allocations with guaranteed response times.
Because Laramate's process protects your investment
You or Stakeholders are in direct contact with our senior developers during the development sprints. We eliminate the telephone-game miscommunications that plague traditional 100-person agencies.
We draft the full system architecture map before deep implementation. We ensure your core database schema is built for scale. Your product can evolve, add multi-tenant features, or chain new modules together down the line without requiring a costly re-platforming rewrite.
We are not tied to a "build-only" mentality. By mastering both greenfield and brownfield projects, we provide objective advice on when it makes sense to innovate, optimise your existing systems, or resolve technical debt, and implement new features. We ensure your software remains an asset, not a liability, at every stage of its lifecycle.
We sign an NDA, review your existing codebase, and assess its architecture, dependencies, technical debt, and business core functionality.
We identify risks, map system dependencies, and prioritise improvements. You receive a clear roadmap separating urgent fixes from planned upgrades and incremental replacements.
We modernise one process or module at a time, integrating new functionality with existing systems and testing changes against established business behaviour.
We plan deployments around your operational needs, using automated checks, staged releases, and rollback procedures to minimise disruption to daily operations.
We support your application beyond implementation with ongoing maintenance, security updates, monitoring, and agreed response times under your service-level agreement.
Laramate supports its clients continuously. Whether your system needs routine technical maintenance or an aggressive feature expansion
Laramate deconstructs intent with cross-examining questions, evaluates broad architectural design, then builds new extensions using modular decoupled logic
Laramate maintains an active, ongoing development cadence to rapidly deploy new capabilities and secures baseline support
If your business relies on an outdated application that is difficult to maintain, costly to change, or increasingly risky to depend on, a complete replacement may not be your only option.
Laramate assesses your existing codebase, maps dependencies and business-critical functionality, and identifies which components need attention. We develop a practical modernisation roadmap, helping you replace outdated modules incrementally, integrate new functionality, and reduce disruption to daily operations.

Need Al without sending data to OpenAl?
We run on locally hosted models.
Laramate extends and modernises your existing database, reinforces missing data layers, strengthens your backend infrastructure, plus smart integrations, converts files and syncs themes via GitHub, with zero manual uploads or downloads.
Laramate migrates codebases 10+ years old with zero data loss, take over existing systems under its codebase policy, and offers long-term retainers with full code transfer, development, and support.
Yes. We offer both maintenance packages and ongoing support to keep your software up to date and fully functional, always on terms tailored to your project. Find out more here.
Even smaller projects and content-only websites need regular updates. Once initial development is complete, we recommend transitioning to a maintenance contract. We handle monthly software updates and functional checks. This is an investment in the security and reliability of your project.
No. We are happy to assist with selecting and setting up the right server or system architecture. We recommend Hetzner as an infrastructure provider (we have no affiliation with Hetzner).
Your advantage: there is no vendor lock-in. You sign the contract directly with Hetzner (or any other provider) and we handle the administration and management.
If development effort in a given month exceeds the agreed-upon hours, the additional time is billed at our standard agency hourly rate.
If there is little or no need for development in a particular month, up to 50% of the unused hours roll over to the following month. Accumulation of hours across multiple months is not possible.
Yes, this is one of our core competencies. Using a bespoke Laravel backend, we securely connect your software to third-party systems such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, HubSpot, or custom databases.
Before implementation, we thoroughly analyse how best to integrate with your existing systems. Our automation solutions are also designed to fit seamlessly into your current infrastructure.
Yes. We integrate Filament into existing projects as well. Whether you need an admin dashboard, process automation, or extended functionality — retrofitting is straightforward and hassle-free.
Yes. Alongside development, we also offer long-term support, regular updates, and assistance with the ongoing evolution of your applications.
No!
Our engagement model prioritizes client autonomy. We deliberately avoid creating vendor lock-in through proprietary dependencies or opaque implementations.
Yes, of course. We’ll guide you through the entire review process for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and ensure that all technical guidelines and data protection requirements are met, so that your app can be published without a hitch.
We primarily use React Native and Expo to build a shared codebase for iOS, Android, and macOS. This saves time and cost without compromising on performance or user experience. The result feels fully native to the end user.
If your app requires complex server-side logic, we connect a Laravel backend via API. Laravel is our speciality and enables secure, scalable backends for your application.
We believe in transparent communication and use tools like Slack, Trello, or Jira to track project progress and provide regular updates. For longer-running projects, we also hold regular check-in meetings to ensure we stay aligned.
