From paper to cloud: a dealer’s migration story
Three weeks, ~5,000 vehicles, two branches. What worked and what we’d do differently.
The dealer’s exact words on day one: "I have everything in three notebooks and one Excel file. Don’t lose any of it." That constraint shaped the migration — not the tooling.
The migration plan, the staff training schedule, and the one mistake we made on day three are documented here for the next dealer who asks the same question.
