Ready? Let's get ready to migrate!

Step 1. Evaluate Your Current Platform

Start by taking a close look at your current setup. What’s working well, and what’s holding you back? Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your existing platform will help you identify what needs to carry over and what can be improved with Simplero.

• Features & Functionality: List the key features your current platform offers. What critical functions are missing or underperforming? Which features work well for your business and need to be included in your new platform?
• Limitations: Pinpoint those things that aren't working for you and make sure your new platform can fill those gaps.

This evaluation will give you a clear picture of what to look for in Simplero and ensure a smoother transition. If you need guidance in reviewing your current platform or evaluating Simplero as the right replacement, I’m here to help.

Step 2. Plan Your Migration

Once you’ve assessed your current platform and made sure Simplero is the right next step for you, it’s time to map out your migration strategy. This isn’t just about moving data - it’s about setting up your new system for success.

• Data Audit: Identify all the data you need to transfer to Simplero, including customer info, product details, and other vital content. Now is the time clean up messy data - prune your contacts database and archive old lists and products, etc. If your data is chaotic in your old platform, it will still be chaotic when you move it to Simplero. Taking the time to clean up the mess before you move will make your Simplero experience so much better!
• Integrations: Review the tools and apps you use in your workflows. Can some of them be replaced by Simplero features? If not, can they be integrated with Simplero? Solving any snags like these ahead of time will prevent delays and frustrations when it comes time to make the switch. 
• Training: Make a plan to get your team up to speed on Simplero’s features and the training and changes to your standard processes that may need to be made. 

Don't forget involve your team in the process. Regular updates and communication with your team will help keep everyone on the same page and ensure a smooth(er) transition.

Step 3. Customize Simplero to Fit Your Business

Simplero offers a lot of flexibility, so take advantage of that by customizing it to fit your specific business needs. Before you migrate is the time to get Simplero set up and ready so you can hit the ground running quickly after the transition.

• Branding: Customize Simplero’s settings with your logos, brand colors, and custom fonts so every touch point maintains your brand experience.
• Automations: Fine-tune tags, workflows, and triggers to automate repetitive tasks and streamline your processes. This is one of the main benefits Simplero brings to the table - so take full advantage! 
• Sales and Marketing:  Get all your products and funnels set up in Simplero so nothing gets lost in the shuffle. 

By tailoring Simplero to your workflows, you’ll maximize its benefits and improve overall efficiency.

Step 4. Test Data Transfer

Data accuracy is critical, so take the time to thoroughly test your data transfer processes. Run checks to make sure all information is moved correctly and completely before you finalize the migration.

• Verify Data Integrity: Make sure everything from customer records to product details transfers without errors. 
• Troubleshoot Early: Address any discrepancies before they can cause bigger issues down the line.

Testing ensures that your migration is smooth and that your business operations remain uninterrupted.

Step 5. Train Your Team

Your team’s ability to navigate Simplero is crucial to a successful migration. Organize training sessions that focus on hands-on experience with the platform.

• Comprehensive Training: Cover all aspects of Simplero, from customer management to marketing campaigns.
• Interactive Learning: Include exercises and demonstrations to reinforce learning.
• Ongoing Support: Provide access to tutorials and resources for continued learning.

A well-trained team means fewer disruptions and a more seamless transition to Simplero.

Step 6. Monitor and Adjust Post-Migration

Even after the migration is complete, keep a close eye on how Simplero is performing. Gather feedback from your team and make necessary adjustments to improve the system.

• Regular Check-Ins: Monitor Simplero’s performance to catch and fix any issues early.
• User Feedback: Listen to your team’s experiences to identify areas for improvement.
