before
The challenge
- Directus could not support the user roles, HIPAA-grade privacy and per-client permissions enterprise contracts need.
- The sync showed the wrong practitioners on corporate platforms.
- Recurring bookings lost production codes, which broke usage reporting for an enterprise client.
- Live productions depended on the old sync until the new one shipped.
what we built
The solution
- A phased migration path from Directus to a custom Node.js and MongoDB back end.
- Every integration rebuilt: Acuity sync, corporate hubs, reporting, practitioner management.
- Acuity sync that pulls appointment type IDs into HR hubs, even with zero bookings.
- Staged cutover: 70% staging and 40% production by February, fully live in Q2 2026.
after
The results

- Achieved reconciled usage reporting, without losing production codes in the migration.
- Achieved a HIPAA-compliant data model that unblocked enterprise contracts Directus could not support.
