FREE DATA MIGRATION
Free data migration: bring your workshop history with you
Years of customers, vehicles and service history are the main reason workshops don't switch software. BayAutomate migrates it for you, free, with a 6-month subscription. We confirm the scope first, based on what your existing software can export, so you know exactly what will come across before you commit.
Early access: BayAutomate is onboarding Australian workshops now. Anything marked Coming soon or Planned isn't available yet. Everything else is included on every plan.
What we can usually bring across
- Customers and contact details, with marketing consent where recorded
- Vehicles: rego, VIN, make, model, odometer
- Service history and past invoices (as history)
- Stock items, suppliers and prices
- Open quotes, declined work and opening account balances, where your export includes them
Free with a 6-month subscription. Migration scope agreed after checking your existing software's export.
How it works
- Tell us your current software and roughly how many years of data you have.
- You export your data (we show you how) and we review it.
- We confirm the migration scope in writing.
- We import it into your workshop with duplicate checks, and you review it in practice mode before go-live.
