↻ sync scheduled: every nightFrom one place to another, without losing anything along the way
Your data rarely lives in one place: an old website, a home-made database, Excel files going around, software with its own API. Moving it by hand takes time, and that’s where errors creep in.
We automate the transfer, from any source to any destination, checking every step.
Migrating a website
Your new site takes over the pages, articles, images and documents of the old one. Every old address is redirected to the new one, so you keep your visitors and your search rankings.
Moving and connecting data
- Excel or CSV files imported, cleaned up and de-duplicated;
- old databases transferred to a new tool;
- API exchanges between your software: accounting, CRM, online store;
- regular exports for your reports or your partners.
Once and for all, or continuously: a scheduled synchronization keeps your systems in agreement without re-keying. If something goes wrong, you’re notified; see also Alerts and notifications.
What it changes
Data that travels well
Search rankings preserved
Old addresses lead to the new pages, with no broken links.
No more re-keying
What goes into one system shows up in the other, automatically.
No downtime
Tests on a copy, then a switchover scheduled when it suits you.
How it works
From source to destination
-
Step 1
Inventory
The sources, their formats and the real state of the data.
-
Step 2
Mapping
Which field goes where, and the clean-up rules along the way.
-
Step 3
Trial runs
Dry-run migrations on a copy, checked with you.
-
Step 4
Switchover
The final transfer and redirects, or the synchronization put into service and monitored.
“A good migration is one nobody notices.”

Questions
What we’re often asked
Our data is a mess. Is that a problem?
That’s the norm, really. We use the transfer to clean up: duplicates, inconsistent formats, empty fields. You approve the rules before we apply them.
Will we lose our search rankings?
No. Every old address is redirected to its new page, and the metadata follows the content.
Do we need to take the site down during the migration?
No. We work on a copy, then the final switchover happens at the quietest time, in a few minutes.
What does it take to connect two pieces of software?
An API, an automatic export or access to the data, depending on what each piece of software allows. We check the options with you before proposing a solution.
