OFFERING OVERVIEW

Modernize your supply chain technology ecosystem with AI

Old or new—software shouldn't dictate how fast your supply chain can move and deliver. Many legacy systems pile on technical debt, slow innovation and hide critical business logic inside code that only a few people still understand.

Sure, the legacy code runs well enough to keep your business operating, but not well enough to get you to where you want to go next, like AI-assisted workflows, self-healing data and faster, smarter decision-making.

Fortunately, there's an easier way than manually reverse-engineering years of custom code, external scripts, batch jobs, integrations, undocumented configurations and tribal knowledge.

Spinnaker SCA uses Sapient Slingshot, a proprietary AI modernization accelerator, to extract and validate business logic, automate specification creation, transform legacy code and automate testing and deployment.

Plus, our supply chain consultants bring the context that AI alone cannot provide to help decide what should be preserved, redesigned, or retired based on your business strategy and growth goals.

Whether your considering implementing a new platform or upgrading an existing one, our proven AI-assisted modernization tools accelerate the end-to-end SDLC, reduce risk through traceability, and ensure the continuity of critical business logic.

Understand what you have. Document what it does.

Before you can modernize a legacy environment in Blue Yonder, Manhattan or SAP, you need to know exactly what your working with.

Code & Define agents interrogate existing code, discover integrations, classify custom logic, map dependencies and rationalize what should carry forward versus what should be retired.

Whether it's UI components that need modern frameworks or integration requirements buried in decades of undocumented code — this is where your migration starts: with a full view of the current state.
Code & Define with Sapient Slingshot

Build the future. Deploy it with confidence.

Sapient Slingshot's Design & Deploy agents turn legacy code into a clear specifications, then use it as the source of truth to design and generate modern, production-ready code.

For supply chain technology platforms — where a bad deployment can disrupt fulfillment, planning, or distribution — this is the difference between a controlled go-live and a fire drill. Your configuration designs are validated, your data architecture is governed, and your deployment risk is minimized before you flip the switch.

Design & Deploy with Sapient Slingshot

Prove it works—and not just the happy path.

Generate test scripts, execute functional testing across APIs and integrations, monitor code quality, and correlate incidents to root causes with Sapient Slingshot's Run & Test agents.

For supply chain implementations, that means full UAT mapped to your business processes: order-to-ship, plan-to-fulfill, receive-to-putaway, and every exception path in between.

You can go live knowing the system has been validated against real supply chain scenarios, not just technical checkboxes.

FAQ

Getting started with
AI-assisted legacy system modernization

What is Sapient Slingshot?

Slingshot is an AI platform that automates and accelerates the entire software development lifecycle. It breaks down legacy systems, preserves critical business logic and generates accurate, production-ready code — while also supporting the build and launch of new software. Slingshot replaces fragmented tools and manual handoffs with a single, continuous system for modernizing and delivering software at enterprise scale.  
What makes Slingshot different from traditional approaches? Traditional modernization tools jump straight from old code to new code, which introduces risk and breaks undocumented business logic. Slingshot inserts a specification layer between legacy and modern systems. It reads existing code, extracts the business logic and converts it into a clear, testable specification. That specification becomes the source of truth used to design and generate modern code with full traceability. This is what allows Slingshot to modernize faster without losing accuracy or control.
How is Slingshot different from AI coding tools or copilots?

AI coding tools assist individual developers. Slingshot modernizes and delivers software at the system level. Slingshot carries enterprise context across discovery, design, build, test and deployment. It is built for large, tightly coupled systems where accuracy, traceability and governance matter — not just faster code completion.  
What types of legacy systems can Slingshot modernize? Slingshot is designed for large, complex enterprise systems, including: 
  • Mainframe and COBOL-based applications 
  • Monolithic Java or .NET systems 
  • Legacy APIs and middleware 
  • Fragmented, multi-decade codebases across teams and platforms 

It is particularly effective where systems are business-critical, poorly documented and too risky to rewrite manually.
Can Slingshot be used to build new software as well as modernize legacy code?

Yes. Slingshot supports both legacy modernization and new software development on the same platform. Teams can modernize existing systems while simultaneously building and launching new applications, without waiting for long transformation programs to finish.
Why does Spinnaker SCA need to use Slingshot?

Because both expertise and speed matter. Spinnaker SCA brings the platform knowledge and supply chain context. Slingshot accelerates the heavy lifting across discovery, analysis, specification, transformation, testing and delivery.
Will our internal team be able to support the modernized system?

Yes. Supportability is designed into the output through cleaner documentation, standardized naming, consistent formatting, structured logging, step-level metrics, and centralized exception handling. The goal is not just to modernize. It is to create a system your team can maintain long-term.
