Excel to Database Migration

You know Excel isn’t working anymore, but the thought of moving years of data into a new system feels overwhelming. What if something gets lost? What if the transition breaks your current workflow?

You need software that works the way you work. I build custom database systems designed around your business - and I handle the entire migration process so nothing falls through the cracks.

How Migration Works

Data Audit – I review your existing Excel files to understand structure, relationships, and data quality

Migration Plan – You get a clear roadmap of what moves where, with timeline and validation steps

Data Cleaning – I identify and fix inconsistencies, duplicates, and formatting issues before migration

Import & Validation – Your data moves to the new system with thorough testing to ensure accuracy

Parallel Testing – Run both systems side-by-side until you’re confident everything works

Training & Cutover – Your team learns the new system, then we flip the switch

What You Keep

All your data – Nothing gets lost in translation. Every record, every relationship, preserved.

Business logic – Your knowledge transfers. The tedious work doesn’t.

Historical records – Years of data history comes with you, fully searchable and accessible.

Your Excel files – I don’t delete anything. You keep backups of your original spreadsheets.

Common Migration Scenarios

Client/customer databases – Hundreds or thousands of contacts with interaction history

Inventory tracking – Products, stock levels, suppliers, and order history

Project management – Tasks, timelines, budgets, and team assignments spread across multiple sheets

Sales pipelines – Leads, opportunities, and deal tracking stuck in shared spreadsheets

Compliance records – Data that needs to be tracked, audited, and reported reliably

Migration vs. Starting Fresh

Sometimes you don’t need to migrate everything. We can:

Migrate critical data – and leave old records archived in Excel

Build fresh – and manually enter only active records

Partial migration – for specific workflows while keeping others in Excel temporarily

During our consultation, we’ll figure out the right approach for your situation. Migration is typically included as part of a custom database project - view pricing details.
