Slow production software slows down processes, increases risks, and costs time. That’s why soxes shows you where bottlenecks arise and how you can make your systems stable and performant again.
Slow software is more than a minor annoyance. In industry and production, every delay directly affects throughput, quality, and efficiency. When applications stall in line operation, databases respond sluggishly, or interfaces freeze, waiting times, extra work, and real risks arise. We support you in uncovering these bottlenecks and making your systems performant again.
Many SMEs work with organically grown systems like Access, Delphi, C++, PHP, or old framework versions. Without continuous maintenance, response times and stability deteriorate.
Rising data volumes, missing indexing, too many parallel accesses, or complex queries directly impact performance.
When systems have been expanded over years, situations arise where workarounds or special logic slow down the process.
Missing documentation, dependency on single individuals, and lack of monitoring only make problems visible when they are already noticeable in operation.

Slow software specifically impacts production:
Every delay in the MES or in business-critical tools increases the risk that processes will stall.
Manual interventions, longer processing times, and production breaks cause extra costs that accumulate over the year.
When software slows down, the effort increases and acceptance decreases. Teams lose time on double checks and workarounds.
Outdated systems are difficult to maintain. As soon as know-how is lost, the risk increases that errors remain unresolved for longer.
How do I find support for my existing software?
There are service providers who specialize specifically in the support and maintenance of existing software, even if they didn't develop the software themselves. soxes stabilizes, analyzes, documents, and modernizes your system as needed.
Can someone else continue developing my software?
Yes, if it is cleanly documented or if the new partner catches up on the documentation. A clean analysis at the beginning is important.
How quickly can an external partner take over my software?
If all accesses are available, the start can happen within a few weeks, depending on the condition of the application.
How do I know if my software is outdated?
Missing updates, developers leaving, or an increasing number of errors are all indications of outdated or poorly maintained software.
What is the difference between software maintenance and further development?
Maintenance keeps the software stable and functional. Further development adds new features or adapts the software to new requirements.
How can I avoid production downtime due to software problems?
You can significantly reduce downtime through regular maintenance, stable interfaces, and clear error analysis.
Our customers come to us when production-critical software has become slow and is burdening daily business. We work with a clear three-phase approach that delivers structured results.
A production company worked for over 15 years with an outdated Delphi-based MES solution, which was only supported by a single developer: an increasing risk for ongoing operations.
The developer left the company; the existing software was technically obsolete, barely documented, and difficult to maintain. Furthermore, there was no clean separation between legacy systems, data flows, and modern interfaces.
soxes developed a new MES platform based on modern web technologies like C#, with a clear architecture, tested interfaces, and flexible connection to ERP and machinery.
The new solution reduces dependency risk, creates technological future-proofing, and enables a controlled rollout without production interruption.
Aside from technical innovations and the exciting introduction of new functions, one often-overlooked area is of crucial importance: The ongoing care and maintenance of software. Companies that neglect the importance of this continuous support expose themselves to considerable long-term risks and disadvantages. What to do when the software freezes?
Maintained Software, Strong Performance
One of the fundamental advantages of regular software maintenance lies in the improved code quality. Continuous reviews and clean-up work based on Sonarqube reports not only improve quality but also the readability of the code. This not only facilitates maintenance but also the seamless integration of new functions.
Another crucial aspect is early error detection. Through continuous code analysis, errors and security vulnerabilities can be identified and fixed before they escalate into larger problems. Regular care and updating of the code are essential to close potential security gaps. This significantly minimizes the risk of hacker attacks and data leaks.
Viewed in the long term, continuous software maintenance leads to cost savings. Although the initial care requires resources, problems and downtime are avoided, which ultimately leads to lower costs.
Time Commitment That We Can Take Off Your Hands
However, regular software maintenance is associated with a short-term but quite intensive time commitment. Continuous maintenance requires resources that may be temporarily diverted from the development of new features.
Our Solution
soxes uses various strategies to relieve you of this time commitment. Effective time management, for example, is crucial for planning maintenance during less critical phases and thus reducing the diversion of resources during the development of new functions. Furthermore, the use of automation tools allows us to relieve resources by automating recurring maintenance tasks. Our agile development methods simultaneously help us work on maintenance and the development of new features, thus optimizing resource utilization.

If you answer “yes” to more than two points, a performance analysis is worthwhile.
