The switching shop software blog
Two honest accounts of moving a shop: off spreadsheets, and off a platform you already pay for. What to clean first, what to map, and what to keep running for a month.

The short answer
What does the switching shop software blog cover?
The switching shop software blog covers the two moves a shop actually makes: off spreadsheets into a real system, and off one platform onto another. What to clean before you export, which columns map to what, how to handle jobs already in flight, and what to keep running in parallel for a month.
Export everything first, before anyone cancels anything.
Customers, vehicles, quotes and history map in one pass and get checked on screen.
Run both for a week, move the jobs in flight by hand, then close the old account.
