Switching to DetailSlate

Whether you're running everything from your phone, outgrowing spreadsheets, or reconsidering your current booking software, switching platforms is a real decision.

Moving to DetailSlate is currently a self-serve process. You can bring customer records over in bulk with the client import wizard using a CSV or vCard file, or add them manually. There is no one-click import for old bookings or photos from another provider. You start with a clean workspace that keeps client records, service history, notes, job photos, scheduling, deposits, and booking communication connected in one place.

What to expect when you switch

What you bring
  • Your current customers and their service records (imported in bulk from CSV or vCard, or added directly by you)
  • Your own services, pricing, and availability
  • Your preferred operating model (mobile, set location, or hybrid where supported)
What starts fresh
  • Your booking link (you'll publish and share a new DetailSlate URL)
  • Connected photo history (builds as you complete new work)
  • Billing (month-to-month, cancel anytime; employee access grows with your team)

The Step-by-Step Transition

01

Create your Business Account

Start with a free trial. You'll see the exact price and trial terms during signup before you commit.

02

Configure your operations

Set up your profile, add your services, and define your availability. You can also configure optional deposit requirements to be collected online where payment is supported.

03

Import or add your active customers

Use the client import wizard to bring in customer records from a CSV or vCard, or add your current clients and their essential service records manually. They don't need to sign up for you to keep their records.

04

Share your new booking link

Publish your link. Clients can now choose available times, compare services, and even book as guests.

Export and restore controls

DetailSlate can export supported business records as spreadsheet-ready CSV or TSV files. Its own exports can be previewed, validated, and restored before changes are applied.
