## Solutions

- [System Modernization](https://www.cubesystems.lv/en/solutions/system-modernization): AI-accelerated legacy modernization that cuts security risk, lowers running costs, and removes dependency on single developers — without business interruption. Covers framework/CMS and library upgrades, API development and microservices extraction, monolith-to-modules decomposition, performance and resource optimization, cloud and database migration, CI/CD and DevOps implementation, and infrastructure modernization (Kubernetes, IaC). Four-stage delivery: technical audit → prioritized modernization plan with costs and benefits → first high-impact modernization stage → phased step-by-step modernization with the system staying live. AI is used for automated code and dependency analysis, technical documentation generation, partially automated code rewriting and test generation, and adding test coverage to untested legacy code; local LLMs are available for sensitive codebases. First modernization stage starts from €5,000 after the audit. Context cited: 21–40% of enterprise IT spend is tied to technical debt (Deloitte), 40% of US firms hit weekly IT glitches from legacy systems (KPMG), and 48% of agencies name legacy systems as a barrier to scaling AI (EY). Case study: Captomatic — a 10-year-old Ruby on Rails system rebuilt in Rust with an optimized architecture, delivering 3× lower infrastructure costs, 2× faster video/photo delivery, and reduced supply-chain attack surface.
- [Customer Self-Service Platforms](https://www.cubesystems.lv/en/solutions/customer-self-service-platforms): Portals and apps that let customers track usage, pay bills, file claims and applications, manage account data, sign and view agreements, and receive personalized offers without contacting support. Core modules: customer accounts, services and products, orders and requests, billing and payments, agreements and documents with digital signing, customer insights, notifications and communication, support and issue resolution, and personalized upsell/cross-sell offers. Built on service-oriented architecture with custom integrations into billing, CRM, ERP, and industry cores (including Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing), plus AI-powered knowledge bases, chatbots, and request automation. Five-stage delivery: strategy/discovery workshops → UX & UI design with a clickable prototype → development (front-end, back-end, integrations, content, QA) → go live → SLA support, analytics, and growth. Typical phasing: discovery & strategy €4,800 (~1 month), integration analysis and UX/UI €10,000 (1–3 months), first-stage development from €25,000 (3+ months); 5–7+ months to initial launch. Common in utilities, insurance, banking, telecom, and subscription businesses. Context cited: self-service interactions cost ~$1.84 vs ~$13.50 for live support (Gartner), 33% higher satisfaction for digital self-service users (McKinsey), 3.5× higher revenue growth when service is treated as a value driver (Accenture). Case study: Elektrum self-service portal — 475,000+ registered users, ~70 integrated web services connected to Oracle Utilities, live since 2012 and successfully handed over to the client's in-house team.
- [E-Commerce Solutions](https://www.cubesystems.lv/en/solutions/e-commerce-solutions): Custom-built e-commerce platforms for companies that have outgrown Shopify, WooCommerce, or Adobe Commerce (Magento) — no growth ceiling, no business-logic limits, no scaling license costs, and a business-driven roadmap. Functionality covers customer accounts and profiles, product catalog and search, cart and checkout, order and delivery management, billing and payments, loyalty programs and coupons, personalized recommendations, wish lists, notifications, and customer support and returns. Headless/composable architecture with deep ERP, payment, logistics, and loyalty integrations. Five-phase delivery: strategy, discovery & planning → UX & UI design with clickable prototype → development → go live with full documentation → SLA support, analytics, and growth. Replatforming is handled without interruption via a technical audit and staged migration. Context cited: 271% three-year ROI for composable storefronts (Forrester), 10–15% revenue lift from personalization (McKinsey), 8.4% conversion lift per 0.1s speed improvement (Deloitte & Google). Case study: Rimi e-commerce platform — 10,000+ products across three Baltic markets, 700,000+ registered users, and 100+ integrated APIs including SAP Hybris Commerce and the loyalty system.
- [From Idea to Prototype](https://www.cubesystems.lv/en/solutions/from-idea-to-prototype): A two-day co-creation workshop that turns an uncertain product idea into a validated business case, prioritized roadmap, and clickable front-end prototype delivered within 5 business days. Day 1 covers business goals, revenue model, unique selling points, target audience, value proposition, and purchase motivation; day 2 maps step-by-step customer workflows and first-build priorities. Run by two Cube Systems experts (business/project lead plus technical lead) with up to 4 client stakeholders. Applies to web portals, mobile apps, e-commerce, internal business tools, and SaaS products. Price €1,900 + VAT, credited back in full if a development contract starts within three months. The prototype is a validation and pitching tool — screens and user journey only, no backend, integrations, or AI. Context cited: 47% of unsuccessful projects miss goals due to inaccurate requirements management (PMI), 43% of failed VC-backed startups cite poor product-market fit (CB Insights), and a recommended prototype investment of 5–15% of total project budget (Nielsen Norman Group). Outcomes referenced: a furniture production management system prototype that convinced US partners and led to a product sale, and a workshop that avoided €40,000 of unnecessary spend by showing modernization beat rebuilding.
