Migration

The only question that matters: what happens to twenty years of data?

It comes with you. That's not a feature we added. It's the reason this product exists.

We've seen these, because we built the systems they came from.

✓ Legacy money and percent fields stored ×100

✓ Six-digit MMDDYY dates

✓ Junk, VOID and CANCEL orders that need cleaning, not importing

✓ Customer part-number cross-references

✓ Twelve-column price and discount tables collapsed into real pricing rules

✓ The undocumented conventions your system accumulated since the Nineties

How it works

Four steps. No leap of faith.

You send us a data extract.

Whatever your green screen or on-prem system can export: part masters, routings, customers, open orders. We map it and quote the conversion at one flat number, before you commit a dollar.

We convert it into a sandbox.

AI-written, human-verified conversion programs land your real customers, parts, and history in a working system you can click through.

You look at your own data and decide.

Not a demo with fake companies. Yours. We tune the mapping until the numbers match what you already know.

Go live.

Around your production schedule, with your history intact — and the people who converted your data on the phone that week, not a ticket queue.

How the conversion gets built

AI writes the conversion code. People verify everything.

Custom conversion programs used to be the expensive part of switching systems — so most vendors run your data through a one-size-fits-all importer and shrug at whatever doesn't fit. We work the other way around. The programs that convert your data are written with AI, which makes code tailored to your exact system — its file layouts, its quirks — practical instead of a consulting project. The tools are new. The standard is old-fashioned: prove it, don't promise it.

AI writes it

Conversion programs built for your system's exact tables and quirks — not a generic importer with your data forced through it.

We verify it

A person checks the code and what it produces — field by field, against your table layouts — before you ever see the result.

You verify it

You check the sandbox against your own reports — record counts, open orders, A/R, A/P — and nothing goes live until it ties out.

What every conversion delivers

The result you can hold us to.
