01
Understand what the old system really does
Inventory the records, reports, permissions, and exceptions your team depends on. Some of the most important requirements live in a spreadsheet next to the CRM or in the habits of an experienced employee.
02
Plan the data move before the launch
Review exports, duplicates, field mappings, and record relationships. Agree on what moves, what stays available as history, and how the team will check the migrated information.
03
Design around today’s operation
Build the quoting flow, catalog, branch access, and field screens the business needs now. A replacement should make the work easier, with familiar business logic where it still serves the team.
04
Roll out with a transition plan
Choose a first workflow or group of users, verify it with real examples, and plan training and cutover steps. The pace depends on dependencies, data quality, and how the company keeps working during the move.
