You must bring it in house. I am few weeks away from doing what you ask for an org. New stack from ground up taking all the old learnings and pieced together existing software,no/low code pile of yarn to simply build the correct db architecture and CRUD to match. Existing software worked and props to founder who scrapped it together, but it increasingly does not match the real world abstractions of the business. Hire from within -- promote someone who is technical enough but more importantly excited and already knows the ops/logistics and has the entire mental model in their head. This eliminates a lot of headache for leadership to explain everything repeatedly and over many hours. Support this person with a senior developer with a track record. Luckily for this company I am both of those people. Keep the team lean, support them and let them work for multiple focused months to start, requiring certain milestones but allowing for refactoring as they see fit. There will be and should be some refactoring at the beginning. You want it to happen at the beginning, not later on. Maybe two people is enough or add one more person to support misc tasks and QA labors. Within 3-6 months (depending on the team) you'll have a software foundation that actually matches your organizational structure. (note: lot of assumptions here) edit: grammar,typos
