API Data Migration Service

That depends on your requirements and the size and efficiency of your organization. For an enterprise-size POS solution, replacement can typically take 1½ years from the contract is signed until the new POS system is fully in operation across your organization. However, also count in time for formulating requirements and use cases and discussing them with your potential POS vendor before you sign a contract. That initial phase can take time, and the POS vendor will typically need up to three months to provide implementation suggestions, but the time you initially spend on this will greatly help you run a more efficient POS replacement project later.

Ideally you don’t need to migrate data because your master data about articles, prices, discounts, campaigns, customers, etc. resides outside of your POS system, typically through an API integration with your ERP system.
However, many organizations don’t have such integrations in their current POS systems, so many POS vendors have experience with exporting POS-related data from proprietary formats on old POS systems to their new POS system offering. If your data resides on your current POS system, you should as a minimum select a new POS vendor that has experience in importing it into your new POS system.
We highly recommend, however, that you aim higher with your new POS system, so that you can store your and manage your master data independently of your POS system and benefit from a proper API solution that integrates your master data in real time, not only with your new POS system but also with your other sales channels, like eCommerce or click-and-collect. That may still require exporting of data from your old POS system, but it’ll ensure that you have system independence and flexibility in the future.
Whichever option you go for, make sure to run small-scale pilot tests of the data transfer before you begin to transfer production data. Good POS vendors will include small as well as large-scale tests of data in their delivery models.
