Why Switch to Fast-Weigh?
When it comes to the “SaaS vs. legacy software” argument, many business owners in the construction materials industry are on the fence. While the familiarity of a legacy-style system may be hard to let go of, those who have made the switch to a modern SaaS platform typically can’t find a reason to go back. Here's why.
The Problem with Legacy Systems
Legacy software prevents businesses from taking advantage of evolving technologies and organizational shifts to cloud computing. With their heavy IT burden, maintenance costs, and inability to scale, these systems can limit an organization’s strategic opportunity in the marketplace.

Legacy Software Challenges
- Outdated technologies
- Difficult setup & expensive upgrades
- Isolated servers
- Multiple database licenses
- Poor product Integration
- Lack of third-party integration tools
- Difficult product support
- Customer responsible for management, failover, and systems integrity
As the demands of an operation grow, it becomes clear that legacy software methodologies fail to meet the challenges of operational expansion in today's world. These systems lack functionality, and their obsolescence often leaves businesses open to security risks and data loss.
