Move a programme, not just a database.
A successful migration is more than importing rows. RetailHawk uses a staged process so client/outlet structures, shopper rules, programme targets and operating controls can be validated before cut-over.
A controlled migration path
Discovery and mapping
Map clients, outlets, programme structures, shopper rules, identity needs and the systems that remain in place.
Data preparation
Clean and map supported client/outlet data first. Additional datasets are agreed according to the module being piloted rather than bulk-imported without validation.
Synthetic validation
Recreate the operating pattern with synthetic data and verify permissions, eligibility, rotation and allocation rules.
Pilot one programme
Run a bounded live programme alongside the existing process, with explicit entry/exit criteria.
Cut-over by capability
Move further journeys only when the required RetailHawk module is release-ready. We do not claim a big-bang migration for modules that are still on the roadmap.
What can be discussed now
Legacy platforms
SASSIE, Shopmetrics, bespoke agency systems and spreadsheet-heavy operations can all be assessed during discovery.
Parallel run
Where risk warrants it, the pilot can run alongside the incumbent workflow while outputs and controls are compared.
External questionnaires
If replacing a questionnaire tool is not desirable, the provider-integration path is being built specifically to support that boundary.
