LitExtension’s POS Data Migration Service is designed to streamline the process of transferring point-of-sale (POS) data between different platforms. Whether you’re switching POS systems, migrating data to an eCommerce platform, or consolidating multiple POS systems, our service offers a seamless and efficient solution.

What Are The Challenges of POS Data Migration?

Data Complexity

POS systems often generate a vast amount of data, including sales transactions, customer information, inventory details, and more.

Custom Integrations

POS systems having extensive customizations or integrations with other software require additional development or configuration.

Data Security

Protecting sensitive customer and financial data during the migration process is crucial. Breaches can have severe consequences for a brand’ reputation.

Data Incompatibility

Different POS systems may use varying data formats and structures, making direct transfer difficult.

Sales Disruptions

There might be some downtime during the transition, disrupting business operations, so it’s important to plan accordingly.

Legacy Systems

Migrating from older, legacy POS systems can be particularly complex due to outdated data structures and limited integration capabilities.

POS Data Migration Service: FAQs

Not seeing your question listed here? Contact us for the quickest answer.
How long it will take to replace my existing my POS solution?
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.
Can you migrate data between any POS systems?

Yes, we support a wide range of POS systems, including popular options like Square, Shopify POS, Clover, Vend, and more.

How do we migrate data from the old system?
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.
