Getting started

What switching actually involves

The practical questions, answered before you have to ask them.

Moving in

Can I bring my existing customers across?

Yes, and you don’t have to do it. Send us the customer list you’ve already got and we’ll bring it in for you before you start — contacts and their vehicles, ready on day one.

Getting out

Can I get my data back out?

Any time. Export the whole business to Excel — bookings, customers, services, working hours, notes and key dates — plus separate customer, analytics and expense files whenever you want them.

Support

What happens when I get stuck?

Raise a ticket with photos and attachments and you’ll hear back within 24 hours — usually in about three — from someone who knows detailing rather than a script.

After the trial

What happens at the end of the 14 days?

Nothing charges by surprise — there’s no card up front. Add your details when you’re ready to carry on, and cancel whenever you like.
