Before ERP migration
Check customers, suppliers, stock, chart of accounts, open transactions, payment terms and reporting structures before import files are built.
Wirral data migration consultant
Wirral SMEs often run critical processes across Sage, Xero, Excel, CRM exports, legacy databases and supplier portals. When a new ERP, CRM or finance system arrives, those small data issues become migration risks. The job is to find them early, decide what moves, define owners and prove the new system reconciles before go-live.
Check customers, suppliers, stock, chart of accounts, open transactions, payment terms and reporting structures before import files are built.
Clean account ownership, duplicates, inactive contacts, status fields, consent records and sales-stage rules before moving into HubSpot, Dynamics or another CRM.
Map source reports, spreadsheet logic, KPI definitions and Power BI dependencies so the new reporting layer is not built on unknown assumptions.
A practical map of where important data lives and how it moves through finance, sales, operations and reporting.
A ranked list of duplicates, blanks, invalid values and high-risk records that should be fixed before migration testing.
Source-to-target mapping for important fields, defaults, transformations and owner decisions.
Record counts, balance checks, status totals and report comparisons to prove the migration has worked.
Clear evidence and decisions for implementation partners so data issues do not disappear into vague project risk.
A plain-English view of what is ready, what is not and which decisions need owner sign-off.
Manufacturers, wholesalers, service businesses and professional firms where data knowledge sits in a few people and needs documenting before system change.
Teams trying to keep month-end, sales reporting, stock records or customer data reliable while a migration project is running.
Yes. Early readiness work often helps choose a system more clearly because it exposes the data, process and reporting requirements that matter.
Yes. The role is to make data decisions, mapping, validation and reconciliation clearer for both the business and the implementation partner.
No. Small migrations can still fail if records are duplicated, fields are unclear or finance cannot reconcile the new system after go-live.
Start by checking whether the data is ready to move.
