Transitioning to a new software system like Chilled Butter can seem daunting. But worry not, the process doesn’t have to be a complex one! We’re dedicated to making this transition as seamless as possible for you. 

Our 1-on-1 concierge set up service is here to help you move! 

You’ll talk to a real person so you can ask any questions you have and get clear demonstrations on how to use Chilled Butter.

We start by exporting your existing data from your old software. This can be client information, service records, invoice details, etc. The format and procedure can vary from software to software, so you may need to refer to your existing software’s help documentation before we get stared. Once your data is exported, it can be easily imported into Chilled Butter. 

After the initial data transfer, it’s time for a quick system check. Chilled Butter has an intuitive and user-friendly interface that allows you to cross-verify and coordinate your data easily. We also recommend taking this time to get familiar with the Chilled Butter’s layout, settings, and features.
