Identify the source
Understand the systems, files, exports, identifiers, and history the customer needs to preserve.
Bring Your Existing Data
Changing systems should not mean abandoning operational history.
Turnover’s migration direction is to import, map, normalize, and preserve useful historical context where practical—including external IDs and source references—while using assisted migration for complex customers.

A deliberate migration process
Move the data that deserves to keep working.
Map the structure
Align source locations, equipment, IDs, people, dates, work references, and useful history to the Turnover program structure.
Normalize carefully
Import or transform data in a way that preserves meaning and avoids pretending every legacy field maps perfectly.
Preserve references
Keep external IDs and source references where practical so historical records remain traceable.
Validate with users
Confirm that the migrated history is understandable and useful to the people who will search it.
Cut over at the right level
Use Turnover as complementary or primary based on the customer’s actual operating and system requirements.
Current commercial promise
Assisted migration is a capability path—not a claim that every format is already automated.
Turnover should be clear about what can be imported in the current release and what requires a scoped migration project.
- CSV and Excel are natural structured-data pathways
- Database or system exports can be evaluated
- Complex transformations may require assisted mapping
- Future APIs and connectors can reduce manual migration effort
- No unsupported connector should be marketed as live
Sometimes migration is not the first move
