Alto announces industry-leading data migration experience

7th June 2022

• The tooling, which is in pilot stage and available exclusively to Jupix customers who upgrade their software to Alto, will enable an end to end migration in just four weeks 
• The new experience will not only save a significant amount of time for agents, but will also lead to a smoother transition for those who decide to change their software
• As part of this new tooling, certain datasets can now be migrated to Alto automatically – instead of manually and will save agents 16hrs on average, and reduce the chance of administrative error

Alto, the leading cloud-based software for agents and part of Zoopla, is pleased to announce a new data migration experience – which will unlock significant time saving for Jupix customers who upgrade to Alto.

The pilot launch follows an increase in Jupix customers who have decided to migrate to Alto to benefit from its new and improved offering which includes enhanced reporting, tenant and landlord document sharing and extensive training which is delivered through on-demand and live webinars. 

Once Jupix customers select their migration date, the transfer of data can begin within just 24 hours of the selected date – while the progress of the transfer can be monitored by customers in real-time via the ‘Progress Tracker’. 

Agents will receive a confirmation email when the data has been migrated and to enable a seamless transition customers will also receive a simple to-do list to ensure they’re up and running as soon as possible on their new software – with minimal disruption.

This will also be supported by webinars and on-demand training videos (eLearning) for agents that are available to complete at a time convenient to them. 

As part of the migration experience, several additional datasets including the date rent is due and the amount to be charged, alongside management fee percentages will be migrated automatically – removing the need for a large amount of manual data entry.

This is a unique benefit to Jupix customers and will be alongside existing datasets including property and contact records, property media (including photos, floorplans, EPCs or any documents linked to a property), transactional data (offers, agreed offers, viewings and valuations) which are already transferred automatically.

Commenting on the pilot, Simon Woodward, Director of Product at Zoopla said:

“Something we’ve heard time and time again from our customers is how labour intensive and daunting a process it can be moving software provider, particularly when it comes to the data migration element.

“This is why we’ve created an industry-leading experience that’s not only bespoke to agents and saves them tens of hours per agent when it comes to data migration, but also focuses on providing a smooth transition with minimal downtime and disruption to day to day operations.”
