Data Conversion
If you are switching to Insight from one of our competitors or if you have been storing your client data in some other format, we may be able to convert that data for use in Insight. Simply provide us with your data file in either MS Excel, MS Outlook, CSV & MS Access Database files. (Speak to our sales rep if you're unsure of your file). Insight Salon Solutions will make sure the transition from your old software to Insight Salon & Spa Software will be a smooth one to avoid delays.

A few of our customers ask if we can instruct them on how to do their own data conversion. The simple answer is no. Converting data from one system to another can be a simple process but it can also be very complex. Insight keeps your data very secure, consistent and will not work with invalid information. Many of our competitors allow users to type any text in any field which can result in things like phone numbers that contain letters. There are also complex factors involving the inner workings of our data files that must be taken into account during the conversion process. For example, you may have more than one "Bob Smith" in your client database and Insight needs to be able to differentiate between them as well. During the conversion process, we take all of this into account so that your new information is guaranteed to work as Insight was designed. In a few cases where clients went ahead (without our permission) and converted their own data, the results were extremely bad and the database useless! The bottom line is that we simply cannot support our software without being 100% positive that the data files conform to quality Insight standards. Please note: Data conversion is basic client data only.
