Case Study: Stage 3 Systems achieves modernized, high-performance AOS with Pieoneers Software

Stage 3 Systems - Customer Case Study

Stage 3 Systems is a long-standing provider of port-call management software whose flagship product, the multi‑tenant Agency Operations System (AOS), helps shipping agencies track schedules, documentation, reporting and performance. Facing legacy code, rising server load and the need for better database efficiency, deployments and UI usability, Stage 3 Systems engaged long‑time development partner Pieoneers Software to modernize and optimize the AOS platform.

Pieoneers Software implemented a targeted modernization: rewriting legacy code, improving database efficiency, reducing server load, optimizing deployments and QA workflows, and migrating AOS from an older Zend PHP framework to the latest version while enhancing the UI with YUI, JavaScript and AngularJS. The result was a modernized, higher‑performing AOS with lower server load, faster deployments, reduced maintenance overhead and improved usability and scalability for Stage 3 Systems’ global customers.
