Our direct selling portal runs on CodeIgniter 2 and an unsupported PHP version. It has about 45,000 members, years of order and commission history, and several custom reports. We want a migration to Laravel on PHP 8.x with the same plan logic, data mapped and verified, and a parallel run for one payout cycle where both systems calculate commissions and we compare the results line by line before switching.

The server cannot be patched and a security scan flagged critical issues last quarter.

Key Deliverables:

• Plan, Backup & Rehearsal: Agreeing the plan, taking verified backups, and rehearsing the move on a copy.

• Cutover & Verification: Carrying out the move at the agreed time and verifying that everything works.

• Monitoring & Handover: Watching for problems after the move and handing over clear documentation.

Requirements:

• Demonstrated experience with Laravel, PHP, MySQL, Data Migration, Legacy Code Migration

• Async communication preferred with milestone check-ins.

• Must test on both mobile and desktop before requesting milestone release.

If you have experience with this type of project, we'd love to hear from you. Please include relevant work samples with your bid.
