BreakEven Docket - Servvian
Web Application Migration from CodeIgniter to Laravel

How we upgraded the Docket Management app from Codeigniter to Laravel, solved existing issues and upgraded to latest PHP version.  

Overview


Servvian, a company known for building innovative products, developed the Docket application to serve independent solicitors and law firms. This application provides a centralized platform for managing cases, logging attendance, generating reports, extracting costs, and more. Each case, or docket, involves multiple paralegals and lawyers, making the efficient management of these cases essential.

Challenges

The original application was built using the PHP CodeIgniter framework. Since CodeIgniter is an older framework, the application faced several issues that were impacting the application’s performance and user experience. Servvian requested a migration to the PHP Laravel framework to ensure better performance, stability, and scalability.

Migration from Codeigniter to Laravel

We migrated their codebase from CodeIgniter to Laravel and the latest PHP version, ensuring the new application would replicate the original functionality and appearance while resolving the existing issues. 

Each module was carefully redeveloped to align with Servvian’s requirements, maintaining the same user experience and operational capabilities as the original web application. This migration not only addressed the existing issues but also provided a more stable and scalable foundation for future enhancements. The following modules were developed:

 

Docket Management

Tracking all cases and legal matters handled by the law firm, organizing and managing various dockets to ensure deadlines are met and all necessary documentation is in order.

Employee Attendance
