Switching

Switching systems is the risk. Here's how we carry it.

The move is planned, run and trained by us, in stages, while your office keeps working. Here is the whole of it, unvarnished.

The plan

Who does what, stage by stage

  1. We map your setup

    You: one conversation.

    Modules, branches, users and data sources, named in the quote.

  2. We move the foundations

    You: keep working.

    Ports, cities, parties, customers, suppliers, currencies, opening balances.

  3. We move live work

    You: verify with us.

    Open jobs and unpaid invoices cross over; the old system stays readable.

  4. We train your people

    You: bring real jobs.

    Operations on the booking chain, accounts on their side, on your own data.

  5. Cut-over

    You: run your business.

    New jobs open in GTrans; we stay close through the agreed support window in your quote.

The quote gives you the timeline in writing.

“We'll lose data.”

What moves is listed in the quote, item by item. Nothing is deleted at source; the old system stays readable as long as you want it.

“Our accountant has a system.”

Keep the accountant. The ledger comes along: opening balances, tax setup, your July-to-June fiscal year if that's how you run. What stops is the re-keying between two systems.

“Training will eat weeks.”

Staff learn the flows they run, on their own jobs, in their own trade language. Bookings and consoles for operations; invoices and allocations for accounts.

Questions

The switching questions

Can we still read the old system afterwards?

Yes. Nothing is deleted at source. Keep it in a corner as an archive for as long as you like.

Can we run both systems in parallel for a while?

Briefly, during verification — long parallel running doubles work and hides errors. The staged plan exists so cut-over is short and safe.

What happens to our spreadsheets?

The useful ones become data: parties, rates, opening balances. The rest retire honourably.

Who do we call when someone is stuck?

The support channel named in your quote — a person who knows your setup, not a ticket queue.
