Case Study: MITCO achieves legacy system modernization with Fountain City, Inc.

Mitco modernizes legacy systems over 4 years with Fountain City

Fountain City, Inc. worked with Mitco, a tire manufacturer, to address the challenge of its aging and fragile terminal-based order management systems. These legacy systems were difficult to maintain and posed a significant business risk as the institutional knowledge required to operate them was tied to individual employees.

The solution implemented by Fountain City involved a multi-year digital transformation built on a parallel deployment strategy and a modern microservices architecture. This approach ensured zero operational disruption, provided users with familiar workflows in a modern React application, and created a scalable foundation for future growth. The results for Mitco included a fully modernized system that is easier to maintain and hire for, secure API integrations for real-time shipping, and demonstrated business continuity.
