FREE DATA MIGRATION
Migrate from spreadsheets or paper
If your workshop runs on spreadsheets, a diary book or an accounting package, you can usually bring your records across in a day. Our CSV importer matches columns automatically, shows duplicates in a dry run before anything is saved, and recognises the same file if you import it again. Assisted migration is free with a 6-month subscription.
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 to export
- Put customers and vehicles in one spreadsheet (one row per vehicle is fine).
- Include rego, make, model, phone and email where you have them.
- Save as CSV, and upload in Settings → Import, or send it to us.
- Review the dry run: new, matched and duplicate rows are shown before you commit.
How your data maps across
| spreadsheets or paper | BayAutomate |
|---|---|
| Name, phone, email | Customer |
| Rego, make, model, VIN | Vehicle |
| Last service date / odometer | Service-due reminder |
| Notes | Customer timeline note |
Things to watch for
- Phone numbers in mixed formats are normalised, but check a few in the dry run.
- Paper records can be typed into a simple spreadsheet first. Even name, phone and rego is enough to start reminders.

Questions
Is the spreadsheet import self-service?
Yes. Customer and vehicle CSV import is built in, with automatic column matching and a duplicate dry run.
