Import from Garage Hive

You can move from Garage Hive to Youzse with a CSV export. Garage Hive is not one of the platforms whose column names Youzse recognises on sight, so you match the columns yourself at the Mapping step, which takes a couple of minutes per file.

Exporting from Garage Hive

Sign in to Garage Hive, which runs on Business Central.

1. 1Open the customer list.
2. 2Use the Business Central export to Excel, then save the file as CSV.
3. 3Export your vehicle list the same way.
4. 4Export posted sales invoices for your invoice history.

Save each export as CSV. If it arrives as an Excel file, open it and use Save as to produce a CSV, because the importer accepts CSV only.

Uploading to Youzse

1. 1Go to Import Data in the sidebar
2. 2Start the guided migration and add your files at the Files step
3. 3At the Mapping step, point each column at the Youzse field it belongs to, which is the part that matters here
4. 4At the Settings step, describe where the data came from and pick your lawful basis
5. 5Review the counts and run it

Mapping a Garage Hive export

Name the files clearly, something like clients.csv and appointments.csv, because the record type is worked out partly from the filename. Then map the essentials and leave the rest unmapped.

• For customers: first name, last name, email and phone. Everything else is a bonus
• For appointments: start date and time, service name, customer name, staff name and status
• For services: name, duration in minutes and price

If your file has one full name column, map it to the full name field rather than splitting it yourself. If date and time sit in separate columns, combine them into one column in your spreadsheet before uploading.

What will not come across

• Saved card details, which no platform can transfer
• Photos and attachments
• Loyalty balances and package credits
• Staff logins, because staff are invited to set their own password

Common questions

Garage Hive exports to Excel, not CSV. Is that a problem?

No. Open the file and save it as CSV, then upload. The importer takes CSV only.

Can I bring my vehicle list across?

Yes on Garage Pro. Import customers first so each vehicle attaches to its keeper.

What happens to my technician records?

Export your users and import them as staff. Each one is invited to set their own password, so no logins transfer.
