Case Study: Flanagan Foodservice achieves a modern responsive online ordering app in 6 weeks and 50% reduction in time & cost with WaveMaker

Flanagan Modernizes Online Ordering Application with Reuse of Existing PL/SQL backend: Improving the Experience and Productivity of their Users

Flanagan Foodservice, an Ontario-based independent distributor serving some 8,000 restaurants with roughly 10,000 items and 300+ employees, was hampered by an aging online ordering system built with Oracle Forms applets. The applets were no longer supported by major browsers, produced a poor user experience, and needed modernization while preserving rich business logic stored in the Oracle database.

WaveMaker low-code and WaveMaker Professional Services rebuilt a responsive web front end that reused Flanagan’s existing database logic, delivering core functionality in one week and the full application in six weeks. The migration cut time and cost by about 50%, enabled Flanagan’s IT team to self‑serve ongoing development, and led to a continued five‑year engagement with WaveMaker.
