Bring your history

Make your old business records useful again.

We assess the data, clean it up with your team, move it into bsns and train everyone on the new system.

The process

Make the move with the people who know the business.

Years of customers, products, sales and other records carry local meanings, exceptions, duplicates and gaps. We work through them with your team.

  1. Assess

    We take an export from your current system and tell you what it contains, what it can answer, and what the work will cost. You keep the assessment even if you decide not to proceed.

  2. Translate

    We clean up and migrate the records with the people who know the business. You know why the exceptions exist; we know where they need to land.

  3. Validate

    We check the migrated records with your team, launch on bsns, and train everyone who will use the new system.

Implementation is quoted separately from the software subscription, so the work, cost, and responsibilities are clear before we begin.

What we look for

What your history may already be able to show you.

Has anything stayed the same price while its cost went up?

Prices tend to move when a supplier invoice does. Anything you make or set yourself has no such trigger, and can sit untouched for years.

Are your fees and pass-throughs recovering what you think?

Card surcharges, handling fees, and delivery charges drift out of step with the costs they were meant to cover.

Which regular customers are buying later than they used to?

Not who's lapsed, but who's late by their own pattern. A regular who reorders every six months and hasn't in nine is a different problem from a one-time buyer.

Is there revenue that never reaches your reports?

Recurring lines — rentals, service plans, deposits — are often collected in one place and reported from another.

How much labor does an order take now, versus five years ago?

Where hours were recorded, the trend is usually visible — and rarely flat.

Which trials, quotes, or demos actually turn into sales?

The step that closes the business is frequently the one nobody measures.

Starting fresh?

Build clean history from day one.

Start recording customers, work, sales, money, agreements and messages in one place. The history builds as the business runs.

If the system can export its data, we can usually assess it. Bring what you use today and the records that matter to the business.
