Why should a branding agency deliver software projects? Because a strong brand must deliver on its technological promises, too. Effective brand management encompasses more than just design; it also covers the user experience, processes and performance of digital tools.
The challenge
Transport company F. Murpf uses an app to provide its drivers with all the information they need, including push notifications, holiday request forms, and other documents. However, the existing system was prone to errors and no longer met security standards. The question was: How can we migrate the existing app to a reliable, scalable platform that will remain open to new interfaces in the long term? Our answer: a reboot based on Drupal.
The solution
After six months of development, we successfully migrated the backend from Laravel to Drupal. Alongside this core change, we implemented several significant improvements.
- Fast upload: Duty schedules now load in under a minute rather than taking two hours.
- Automatic data management: Old data is automatically deleted to keep the system lean and fast.
- Easy export: Tables can be exported directly as CSV files.
The result is a much more stable app with a clear structure. It provides a solid foundation for future integrations and new features.
«The transition from the old system to the new one went smoothly for us — it was completed on schedule and within budget. As always, Sergeant provided friendly and proactive collaboration.»

Added value
With Drupal, we have a framework that can do much more than just build websites. It can create bespoke, standalone solutions that give companies independence and support them in the long term. The F. Murpf app was developed using an API-first approach and is no longer a standalone solution. It is now part of a flexible, secure open system that is ready for whatever the future may bring.
