Most developers have never touched a Pick system.
We’ve been building on them since 1987.

Your system still runs the business. The people who built it may be gone. Replacing it is risky. Ignoring it is riskier. Modern Multivalue keeps mission-critical Pick/MultiValue systems alive, exposes them safely through modern APIs, migrates data cleanly when needed, and connects them to cloud and AI tools without ripping out what already works.

We connect what you have to what you need

Your core systems do not need a risky rip-and-replace project. They need a bridge. We work inside your existing Pick/MultiValue environment and connect it to the modern platforms your business depends on: cloud services, APIs, data warehouses, reporting tools, and AI-enabled workflows.

Three ways we keep your systems working

System Modernization & Support

We work inside your Pick/MultiValue environment, not around it. Whether it’s extending a decades-old application, optimizing performance, or building new functionality on an existing codebase, we develop in the same environment your system was built in. If it runs on Pick BASIC, we read it, write it, and maintain it.

Data Migration & Extraction

When it is time to move off a legacy vendor, feed a new platform, or populate a modern data warehouse, we handle the full extraction and transformation pipeline. We understand multi-value data structures and how to map them cleanly to relational or cloud-native formats, preserving data integrity through every step.

Integration & API Development

Your legacy system does not have to be an island. We design and build integrations that connect Pick/MultiValue applications to modern platforms: AWS services, REST APIs, and industry-specific ecosystems like CDK/Fortellis. The result is a modern API layer over your legacy data, without rewriting what already works.

The same record, before and after

A vehicle record read straight from a Pick/MultiValue file, and the same data served as a modern REST/JSON response. This is the bridge, in one screen.

One database family, nearly every industry

Pick/MultiValue systems still run the parts of the business nobody can afford to break: orders, inventory, billing, service, records, transactions, and operational workflows. Wherever Pick runs, the challenge is the same: keep it alive, make it safer to operate, and connect it to the modern world. A few of the places we see it:

Retail & Automotive

Dealerships & Point of Sale

Parts, service, and sales systems, including integrations to dealer ecosystems like CDK/Fortellis.

Distribution

Wholesale & Supply Chain

Inventory, order entry, and warehouse systems where MultiValue’s speed has always shone.

Manufacturing

ERP & Production

Shop-floor and ERP applications built on Pick that still run the plant every day.

Healthcare

Clinical & Records Systems

Patient, lab, and records platforms. A longtime MultiValue stronghold with strict data demands.

Finance & Insurance

Policy & Transaction Systems

Claims, policy, and account systems where reliability and data integrity are non-negotiable.

Public Sector

Government & Utilities

Records, permitting, and billing systems that have run dependably for decades.

Don’t see your industry? If it runs on Pick, we can work with it. The platform crossed into nearly every vertical years ago, and so have we.

The Pick/MultiValue family

Nearly four decades of hands-on experience across the major MultiValue database platforms. Whatever industry your system serves, if it runs on one of these, we speak its language.

A few problems we’ve solved recently

These happen to be automotive, but the same patterns (keep the system alive, move data safely, bridge to modern platforms) apply in any industry running Pick.

Automotive · POS

Dealership Point-of-Sale System

Built a complete point-of-sale system for automotive dealerships, handling parts, service, and sales transactions within the existing MultiValue infrastructure, with no platform migration required.

Automotive · Migration

DMS Data Extraction & Migration

Extracted and migrated a dealership’s complete management system data off a legacy vendor relationship, building a clean transformation pipeline that preserved every record and relationship.

Integration · AWS

Legacy-to-Cloud API Integration

Advisory and implementation work connecting a MultiValue-based dealer system to CDK/Fortellis through AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB, creating a modern API layer over decades of legacy data.

Depth you can’t hire off a job board

Modern Multivalue LLC brings Certified Pick Professional expertise and hands-on experience that reaches back to 1978 in software and 1987 in Pick/MultiValue database systems.

That is nearly four decades inside a technology ecosystem most developers have never encountered. We know the data dictionaries, the query languages, the BASIC dialects, and the operational realities of businesses that built their workflows on these systems. We also know where the modern stack meets the legacy edge, and increasingly, where AI can help without putting core operations at risk.

Our clients are typically small-to-midsize businesses whose operations still run on the MultiValue systems they invested in years ago. They do not need a vendor pitch about ripping everything out. They need someone who understands what they have, what they need, and how to connect the two without breaking what works.

Let’s talk about your systems
