Legacy Valve Sizing Tool Transformed into a Secure Web-Based Platform

Client Overview

A leading industrial valve manufacturer specializing in control valves for critical applications. The client relied on a custom-built VB6 desktop application for internal valve sizing and selection for over a decade.

Business Challenge

Over the years, the client’s desktop-based VB application became increasingly difficult to maintain and expand. The main challenges included:

  • Restricted Accessibility
    The application was installed on individual PCs, making it difficult for distributed teams and sales partners to use it efficiently.
  • Outdated Technology Stack
    Built on Visual Basic 6.0, the application lacked support, security updates, and modern integration capabilities.
  • Scattered Data
    Sizing results, pricing, and quote data were stored locally, with no central access or traceability.
  • Difficult to Extend
    The app couldn’t support newer requirements like actuator logic, PDF generation, or multi-user access without significant workarounds.
  • Security Limitations

The company needed a modern, web-based solution that aligned with its digital transformation goals.

Our Solution: Complete Modernization Using ASP.NET

We helped the client migrate to a scalable, secure, and user-friendly web platform, purpose-built for valve sizing, selection, and quoting.

Key Enhancements Delivered:

  1. Full Functional Migration
    Converted all legacy sizing logic — including Cv, ΔP, Flow %, and actuator calculations — into modern ASP.NET backend with SQL Server.
  2. Modern, Responsive UI
    Delivered a clean and intuitive user interface with improved workflows, dark/light mode, mobile compatibility, and interactive form validation.
  3. Web-Based Access
    Accessible via any browser without installations — supports distributed teams and global sales partners.
  4. Centralized Database with Audit Trails
    All projects, sizing data, and quote records are stored securely in a central SQL Server database, enabling real-time tracking and version control.
  5. Built-in Document Generator
    Users can generate datasheets and quote PDFs directly from the application, with branding and technical details auto-filled.
  6. Expandable Architecture
    Designed to scale with future needs — from multi-language support to integration with CRM or CPQ modules.
  7. Enterprise-Grade Security
      • Integrated with Active Directory (AD) for centralized user management.
      • Enabled Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added login security.
      • Role-based access control ensures data protection and internal compliance.

8.Cloud-Ready Deployment Hosted on Azure infrastructure with auto-backup and failover readiness.
