Modernize your merchandising and POS systems without breaking them.

Hypercubic moves retailers from COBOL to cloud in quarters — with line-level proofs every pricing, promotion, and inventory-update path behaves identically, continuously audit-ready documentation of the rules that run stores, and the expertise of your senior engineers captured before they retire.

Solution

Three decades of merchandising logic lives in a handful of senior engineers

Merchandising systems encode pricing rules, promotion stacking, markdowns, and planogram logic built over decades in COBOL. A few senior engineers know the edge cases. They're retiring.

HyperTwin

HyperTwin observes how your senior merchandising engineers navigate pricing and promotion logic, then turns each session into a queryable expert model. New engineers ask it about markdown cascades or promo stacking rules instead of reverse-engineering COBOL.

PCI audits mean weeks of manual code tracing across payment flows

PCI DSS, CCPA, state privacy laws, and internal SOX controls require demonstrable documentation of every code path touching cardholder or customer data. Today it's assembled by hand every audit cycle.

HyperDocs

HyperDocs continuously generates audit-ready documentation of every program and data flow touching cardholder data, loyalty records, or personal information — with traceability to source COBOL. Audit prep drops from weeks to hours.

Replatforming POS or merchandising is a business-halting risk

Holiday freezes leave no forgiving window for migration cutovers. Prior replatform attempts have failed mid-flight when undocumented pricing edge cases surfaced in production.

HyperLoop

HyperLoop produces line-level correctness proofs that every pricing, promotion, and inventory-update path in the modernized code behaves identically to the original — so cutovers land without pricing errors, loyalty surprises, or POS downtime.

Overnight restocking and closeouts depend on fewer and fewer operators

Batch jobs for restocking, end-of-day closeout, DC dispatch, and nightly pricing updates depend on z/OS operators who triage JCL failures before stores open. You can't hire more of them.

Hopper

Hopper works as an AI agent on z/OS — navigating ISPF, submitting JCL, monitoring JES, and triaging incidents with SMF and RACF data. Overnight failures get resolved before they delay a morning store open.

Built for the systems that actually run stores.

Measurable Impact

60%

Faster merchandising system modernization discovery

New team members reach productive understanding of core merchandising and supply chain systems faster than through shadowing senior engineers alone.

Faster store-systems engineer onboarding

Documented batch dependencies, captured SME troubleshooting expertise, and integration maps enable operations teams to diagnose and resolve mainframe issues without escalation to senior engineers.

90%

Faster PCI compliance impact analysis

Accurate, automatically generated documentation of legacy system dependencies replaces months of manual discovery, enabling retail IT organizations to plan and budget modernization initiatives with confidence.

Common Questions

Can Hypercubic handle the scale of our retail systems?

Yes. We work with retailers processing millions of lines of COBOL across thousands of programs. Our platform is designed to handle enterprise-scale codebases and complex inter-system dependencies.

How does this help with our e-commerce modernization?

Before migrating to modern e-commerce platforms, you need to understand every business rule and integration point in your existing systems. Hypercubic provides that understanding, reducing migration risk and accelerating timelines.

What about seasonal business logic?

Hypercubic captures time-dependent logic—holiday pricing, seasonal promotions, fiscal calendar calculations—that may only execute certain times of the year and is often the hardest to document manually.

Does Hypercubic work with our ERP system?

Hypercubic focuses on the legacy mainframe layer that often sits beneath or alongside ERP systems. We map the integration points between your mainframe and ERP, ensuring nothing is lost in translation during modernization.

Your merchandising systems knowledge is walking out the door. Capture it before the next retirement.
