Overview

Entity Keeper

Entity Keeper is a cloud-based platform for managing legal entities, used by customers with complex entity structures across dozens or hundreds of legal entities.

Their Ruby codebase had operated without major updates for years, creating competitive vulnerability in a rapidly evolving legal-tech market.

The Challenge

What we needed to solve.

The modernization effort required stabilizing legacy code, refactoring architecture, redesigning user experience, launching new capabilities, and scaling engineering resources — all without losing institutional knowledge.

Success meant transforming a dated platform into a market-ready SaaS product without disrupting customers who were actively managing their legal structures on it.

This group does not just build software; they treat your product as their own. They have been there through every stage, helping us evolve, scale, and stay focused on what truly drives our business forward.

The Solution

What we built.

We conducted comprehensive audits, resolved core bugs, updated outdated libraries, and established production-ready development environments before adding net-new functionality.

From there we redesigned core modules, implemented Agile + improved DevOps workflows, and scaled the team between 2 and 6 contributors based on roadmap needs.

Redesigned Core Modules

Org-chart visualization for ownership mapping, compliance tracking with automated reminders, entity profile management, and role-based access controls.

Architecture Refactor

Refactored core architecture for reliability and scalability. Customizable business settings and advanced reporting tools followed.

Continuity-First Collaboration

Weekly meetings and Slack collaboration kept institutional knowledge with the customer while the team scaled up and down.
