Sixphasestocompletemigration
Our migration team has moved hundreds of dealerships from legacy platforms. Every migration follows a proven six-phase process with validation checkpoints at each stage.
CRM Data Import
Contacts, deal history, communication logs, lead sources, and pipeline stages. We map fields from your existing CRM (DealerSocket, VinSolutions, Salesforce, spreadsheets) to DriveAgent's unified schema. Duplicate detection and merge rules are configured before import.
Inventory Feed Setup
Connect your DMS feed directly — EasyCars, AutoGate, Dealer Solutions, MotorOne, or any standard XML/CSV format. We configure field mapping, image processing, and pricing rules. First sync completes in under 15 minutes.
Customer History Migration
Service records, purchase history, communication preferences, and consent records transfer with full audit trail. Every migrated record includes its original source and timestamp for compliance traceability.
Email & SMS Templates
Your existing email designs and SMS templates are recreated in DriveAgent's editor. Personalisation tokens are mapped to the new schema. Automation flows are rebuilt to match your current sequences — often with improvements suggested by our team.
Website Content Transfer
Pages, banners, blog posts, and media assets move to the DriveAgent CMS. SEO metadata (titles, descriptions, canonical URLs) is preserved to protect your search rankings during transition. 301 redirects are configured for any changed URLs.
Post-Migration Validation
Automated checks verify record counts, data integrity, image availability, and feed sync status. Your team reviews a validation report before go-live. Any discrepancies are resolved before the old system is decommissioned.
White-glove service
You don't lift a finger. Our migration specialists extract data from your existing systems, transform it to fit DriveAgent's schema, and validate every record before import. You just review and approve.

We have proven migration paths from DealerSocket, VinSolutions, Salesforce, HubSpot, Dealer.com, AutoTrader Dealer Portal, Cox Automotive, and most custom-built dealer management systems. For platforms not listed, we build a custom extraction pipeline at no extra cost.
No. We preserve all SEO metadata and configure 301 redirects for every changed URL. We also submit updated sitemaps to Google Search Console during cut-over. Most dealers see zero ranking impact — some see improvements due to better Core Web Vitals scores on DriveAgent.
Consent records (email opt-in, SMS opt-in, do-not-contact flags) are migrated with full timestamps and source attribution. We comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and SPAM Act 2003. No marketing messages are sent to migrated contacts until consent status is verified.
Yes, and we recommend it. Most dealers run both platforms simultaneously for 1-2 weeks. New leads flow into DriveAgent while existing deals complete in the old system. We provide a daily sync report showing data parity between the two systems.
Every migration has a full rollback capability until the final cut-over is confirmed. Your existing system is never modified or decommissioned until you explicitly approve. We keep a complete backup of all migrated data for 90 days post-migration.
