Case Study: a large international food and beverage retailer modernizes its POS with AIM Consulting Group's custom transpiler

Large International Food and Beverage Retailer rewrites POS with AIM Consulting Group, converting 98% of Python code

A large international food and beverage retailer faced significant challenges with its outdated point of sale application, which was heavily extended with unsupported IronPython code. This created high maintenance costs, upgrade difficulties, and an inability to match modern POS features. After failed internal attempts to manually rewrite the code, the retailer engaged AIM Consulting to transform the platform.

AIM Consulting built a custom transpiler to automatically convert the IronPython code to C#, employing test-driven development and leveraging existing UI automation to ensure accuracy. Their innovative approach successfully translated 98% of the code in one-fourth the estimated time, resulting in a modern, maintainable POS system with minimal bugs. The successful outcome led to additional contracts for AIM Consulting and ongoing partnership with the retailer on further enhancements.
