A proven process to take the headache out of migration.

We’ve successfully migrated hundreds of brands to the Smartrr 
platform without any disruption to their business operations or subscriber experience.
 Here’s how we do it.

How it works
1
Meet your dedicated migration team

At kickoff, you’ll be paired with a dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM) and Migration Engineer who works on nothing but migrations. They’ll be with you every step of the process to ensure it goes as smoothly and quickly as possible.

2
Configure your subscriptions in Smartrr

You let us know exactly how you want to set up your subscription programs, and we’ll take care of the heavy lifting. This includes subscription type, discounts, shipping frequencies, bundles, and the front end design of your subscription widget and customer portal.

3
Prepare and import customer data to Smartrr

We’ll create a mapping from your existing subscription data to your new programs that have been configured in Smartrr. All we’ll need from you is access to request data from your existing subscription provider via API or data export.

4
Test and validate your programs

After configuration is complete and all necessary data has been imported to the Smartrr platform, we put you in the driver’s seat. You’ll have a chance to review and validate that everything is working properly in a test environment before anything is activated on our end.

5
Make the switch

Once you are satisfied everything is ready to go, we’ll deactivate your old platform and activate your subscription programs on Smartrr. This switch will occur with no disruption to you or your subscribers and you will officially be live on Smartrr!
