Modernize + AI — Clear Packaging
Their legacy platform had hit a wall. They rebuilt it faster with AI and made it ready for what comes next.
“VBT saw more opportunity than simply redoing our data infrastructure. They’re setting the foundation for modernization and growth — and we’re confident they’re the partners to get us where we want to go.”
- Minutes → Seconds
- Report load times in the modernized platform
- 10× Reporting Flexibility
- Customizable dashboards and embedded analytics — up from rigid, IT-ticket reports
- Every Phase Shipped
- Discovery → client portal → full platform rewrite, each launched live
- Zero Disruption
- The lab never stopped running — phased launches, parallel runs, full data migration
The wall every legacy platform hits.
Clear Packaging is an ISO-accredited laboratory that tests and validates packaging for leading quick-service restaurants, consumer brands, and retailers. Thousands of tests a year ran through a LIMS built up over many years — reports took minutes to load, small changes were risky, and there was no path to modern functionality or AI. A patch wasn’t going to cut it. The question was how to rebuild the engine without stopping the plane.
Modernize in phases — and ship every one.
Instead of a two-year rewrite with nothing to show until the end, we launched value continuously: first a modern client portal running safely on a replicated database — zero risk to live lab operations — taking report access from minutes to seconds and letting customers self-serve for the first time. Then the full back-office rewrite, delivered module by module with parallel runs and complete historical data migration. Their board greenlit every next phase on the results of the last.
Rebuild faster with AI — and build for what comes next.
This is what makes Modernize + AI different from traditional replatforming: AI-accelerated engineering rebuilds legacy systems faster and cleaner, and the new platform comes out of the box AI-ready. Clear Packaging’s rebuilt platform delivers 10× reporting flexibility through embedded analytics today — on a foundation built for AI-driven summarization and predictive insights tomorrow.
Come out ahead, not just current.
Clear Packaging didn’t hire us to redo their data infrastructure — in their words, we saw more opportunity than that. Their teams now run every client interaction, report, and lab workflow through one modern platform; their customers get real-time visibility; and the company has a foundation that grows instead of one that decays.
Build for what comes next.
That’s Modernize + AI: legacy software rebuilt faster with AI and rebuilt to support the intelligent capabilities that come next.
