Migration and Implementation
Common questions about switching
How accurate is this timeline?
It's a planning estimate, not a quote. Flyntlok runs two implementation paths: a fixed five-week expedited program that covers implementation and post go-live support, and a custom enterprise plan that typically runs two to six months. The planner routes you based on user count, location count, and how many systems you need connected. Anything over 30 users runs as enterprise. Discovery is what turns a range into a date.
Why does the planner care about my busy season?
Because pushing a go-live into peak season is how implementations turn into disasters. For outdoor power equipment that's spring. For heavy equipment, summer. For agriculture, planting and harvest. If your go-live lands inside your window, the planner flags it and shows you the clean month instead. We schedule around your season, not ours.
How do you make sure nothing breaks on go-live day?
Extensive testing before cutover. Once your data is migrated and validated, the people who will actually use the system work through their real workflows in it: parts sales, repair orders, invoicing, and reporting. Anything that doesn't behave correctly gets fixed and re-tested. Go-live happens after every department signs off, not before. This is the step most legacy implementations rush, and rushing it is why previous switches went badly.
What happens to our third-party integrations?
They get mapped during discovery, before anything moves. Telematics, inspection tools, your dealership website and inventory feeds, payments, sales tax, payroll, e-signature, and customer texting all count. Third-party connections are the most common source of surprise in a migration and implementation, so list every system that touches your DMS today, including the ones you're not sure are still in use.
Will we lose any historical data?
No. Customer records, equipment history, repair orders, parts inventory, warranty data, and accounting records all migrate. We've moved dealerships running 1981 systems with 25 years of hard-coded customizations. Every record gets validated in staging, and anything below confidence threshold is flagged for human review before it touches production. If a record can't migrate cleanly, we tell you before go-live, not after.
How much of this falls on my team?
Most of the work is on our side. Flyntlok pulls the data, validates records, configures the platform, and sets up supported OEM integrations. Your team joins kickoff and discovery, spot-checks validation reports, shows up to department training, tests its own workflows before cutover, picks the go-live date, and flags the edge cases we wouldn't know about. The planner estimates those hours based on your user count and location count.
