GenAI discovery: leverage FE-migration with a Netlight LLM

Netlight partnered with cloud-based accounting software sevdesk to apply GenAI to React migration – automating code, docs, and tests – cutting effort and spend, lifting quality, and accelerating delivery with human-in-the-loop approach.

About the client

sevDesk is a leading provider of online accounting and invoicing software tailored for small businesses, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. With a focus on delivering user-friendly, efficient, and reliable financial tools, sevdesk empowers its customers to manage invoicing, bookkeeping, and financial workflows seamlessly. The company is committed to innovation in financial technology, ensuring its solutions remain intuitive and scalable for a broad range of users and business needs.

Challenge

sevdesk needed to migrate their outdated tech stack in the frontend to ReactJS to meet modern standards and improve maintainability. Relying on manual migration methods resulted in high time and cost, creating a bottleneck that threatened project timelines and return on investment. The client engaged Netlight to optimise the process, ensure product quality, and accelerate delivery.

Solution

Netlight developed a proof-of-concept integrating a Large Language Model into the migration workflow, using previously migrated components and a shared component library as reference. The GenAI solution automated much of the code transformation, enabling consistent output across documentation, test cases, and interface examples. The engineering team concentrated on quality assurance and refined the AI’s results to meet sevdesk’s standards. This human-in-the-loop process accelerated migration velocity and maintained product excellence.

Impact

Manual migration effort is reduced by up to 80%, enabling a 2.5–5 times productivity increase.
Time-to-market accelerates while costs decrease, supporting a strong return on investment.
The engineering team focuses on innovation and product quality, with AI-driven automation ensuring code consistency.

"Netlight helped us to improve both costs and time efficiency. The migration of three components saved more time than was invested in the whole setup, and we saw a general doubled at last, productivity gain of development."
