Case Study: PayPoint modernises legacy infrastructure and accelerates cloud transformation with Build Circle

PayPoint accelerates cloud modernisation with Build Circle, rationalising 400 workloads and boosting delivery 13x

PayPoint, a cornerstone of UK retail payments, faced significant challenges from 25 years of accumulated technical debt. Its business-critical workloads were running on outdated, undocumented systems, creating operational risk and delivery bottlenecks. PayPoint partnered with Build Circle to find a pragmatic alternative to a high-risk, multi-year total rewrite of its legacy infrastructure.

Build Circle implemented a hybrid AI modernisation factory to deconstruct and refactor PayPoint's legacy code. This AI-augmented approach, combined with senior engineering oversight, resulted in a 13x surge in delivery velocity, rationalising over 400 estate workloads and eliminating 150+ redundant items. The solution provided Build Circle's customer with 100% standardised observability and established a modern, cloud-native foundation for future innovation.
