You have a magnificent product which was a prime driver of business and revenue at one point in
time. But, in recent times, you have observed that your product is no more yielding the results it
once did, and your business is struggling.
With the constant change in customer needs and increase in competition, legacy systems and
products fail to make a mark in the cluttered market. So, how do you know that it is high time you
need to adopt product engineering services and modernize your legacy product? This blog will take
you through five major signs that indicate that your product requires re-engineering.
Your prospects are no longer interested in buying your product
When your product performance analytics reveal that your customers discard it for other product
options, or when your sales are dropping, or your leads are not enough, your product needs a
technical facelift. Know that it is time to deploy new and advanced frameworks and run frantic
promotion campaigns across social platforms and other channels to win back lost customers.
Your product is dependent on manual interventions
The time required by a product to capture the attention of prospects and make a credible impression
on them determines its success or failure. If you still use manual means to manage warehouse
processes, user details, inventory, e-commerce channels, shipment information, profit, and loss
accounts, etc., your product will experience a downfall. It is an era of personalized and
contemporary user experience, and your product needs to use digital methods and technologies to
eradicate manual methods of delivering satisfactory user experiences.

Your product performance is an all-time low
For your product to flourish in this digitally disrupted era, it must embrace change and keep pace
with time, appeal the modern customers and penetrate potentially rewarding segments and
innovative paradigms. For this, your product needs to have robust systems that can consistently
integrate with high-end technology frameworks. Make your system scalable, agile, customizable,
and receptive to changes by upgrading with technology.
Report management is getting crucial
If you are constantly struggling to manage your reports due to limitations in your legacy product,
then it is time to upgrade your system. You must migrate to a technologically superior and
streamlined system that can solve all your challenges for optimal report management.
