Move your business data into new systems without losing a thing

Data migration is moving your business information, such as customers, jobs, invoices, notes and files, from one place to another. That might be from spreadsheets into a CRM, or from old software into a new platform. Done well, everything arrives complete, clean and linked correctly.

Usually, yes. Most systems offer some kind of export, and where they do not, the data can often be read from the underlying database or files. We check what is possible early, before you commit to a new system.

We run a sample migration first, then a full test run that your team checks in the new system. On the day of the switch we take a full backup, and afterwards we compare record counts, totals and sample records between the old and new data.

We find records that refer to the same customer, supplier or job and merge them carefully, keeping the history from each. Where a decision needs someone who knows the business, we show you the options rather than guessing.

Normally not for long. We do the mapping, cleaning and test runs while your team keeps working in the old system, then move the final data at an agreed quiet point so disruption is kept to a minimum.

Reports and AI tools can only be as accurate as the data they read. Duplicates, inconsistent categories and missing fields lead to wrong totals and poor answers. Organised data with one source of truth gives them something reliable to work from.

Sometimes. Older vendors may charge to export your data, and the new setup may need paid database, hosting or storage plans for files and backups. We flag any of these upfront and look for free or low-cost options first.
