PHP migration · Netherlands
PHP upgrade and migration services in the Netherlands
GDPR-first, fully documented and hosted in the EU, with a senior team working your morning hours.
Clarigo Infotech upgrades and migrates legacy PHP applications: PHP 5 and 7 to PHP 8, hand-written PHP to Laravel or Symfony, old CMS and framework versions to supported ones, or a full move to Node.js or another stack when that is the better long-term choice. We add tests first, then upgrade step by step, so the site or app keeps working throughout.
Dutch companies most often hire us for logistics software, SaaS platforms and AI automation.

Privacy, quality and clear documentation
European teams tell us they want a partner who treats data protection and quality as the starting point, not an add-on. That is how we work.
GDPR by design
Data minimisation, consent, EU hosting and a signed data processing agreement before any personal data is touched.
Documentation you can audit
Written specifications, architecture notes, test reports and handover documents, so your team or auditors can follow every decision.
Accessible by default
Interfaces built to WCAG guidelines, helping you meet the European Accessibility Act for digital products and services.
Predictable contracts
Fixed scope and price, clear milestones and acceptance criteria, and full ownership of the code and IP.
What our PHP migration covers
PHP version upgrades
PHP 5.x and 7.x to PHP 8, fixing deprecated functions, extensions and incompatible libraries.
Framework upgrades
Old Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP and Zend versions brought up to supported releases.
Legacy PHP to Laravel
Unstructured PHP code reorganised into a clean, tested Laravel or Symfony application.
PHP to Node.js or other stacks
A planned migration to Node.js, Python or another stack when it fits your team and roadmap.
Database and hosting
MySQL upgrades, query fixes, and a move from shared hosting to containers or the cloud.
Security and performance
Security patches, dependency updates, caching and profiling so the app is safe and fast.
How we approach PHP migration
Why PHP upgrades can't wait
Older PHP versions no longer receive security updates, and many hosts and libraries are dropping support. An upgrade closes known vulnerabilities and usually makes the application noticeably faster.
Tests before changes
Legacy PHP rarely has tests. We add them around the most important flows first, so we can prove the upgraded version behaves exactly like the old one.
How we work with Netherlands clients
Time-zone overlap
Dutch and Indian working days overlap by three and a half to four and a half hours, so your team is online for stand-ups and calls every morning your time.
The GDPR (AVG) and the Dutch implementation act (UAVG)
We design to the GDPR as applied in the Netherlands: data minimisation, consent, access controls, encryption, EU hosting and a data processing agreement signed before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in euros (EUR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Built for Netherlands's key sectors
Dutch logistics, e-commerce and SaaS companies work with us for platforms and automation that connect to the systems they already run, built with GDPR in mind and delivered in short, visible milestones.
Logistics and ports
Rotterdam and Schiphol trade flows rely on tracking and planning software. Custom software that fits how these teams already work.
Agrifood and horticulture
Greenhouse growers use sensors, data and automation. From internal tools to customer platforms, built and supported by one team.
Semiconductors and high-tech
Brainport firms need engineering and data tooling. We build the platforms, integrations and internal tools this sector relies on.
Fintech and payments
Payment pioneers set a high bar for checkout UX. Custom software that fits how these teams already work.

Google Cloud europe-west4 (Eemshaven) and Azure West Europe (Netherlands), in your own cloud account, so data stays where your rules require.
How it works
1. Free assessment
We review your code, dependencies, infrastructure and data, then give you a written migration plan, risks and a fixed quote.
2. Plan and safety net
We add automated tests and monitoring around what exists today, so every change can be checked against the old behaviour.
3. Migrate in small steps
Module by module, with both versions running side by side where needed. You see progress in a demo every week.
4. Cut over and support
A planned switch-over with a rollback path, then the same engineers stay on to fix, tune and keep it current.
