All Features

Bring the records your new workspace needs

Motorworks validates structured CSV files before import and links vehicles, invoices, line items and payments to the records created earlier in the sequence.

Data Import & Migration feature in Motorworks garage management software

Key Benefits

Dry-run validation

Run the file in validation mode first to see row errors before writing records to the workspace.

Ordered relationship mapping

Import customers first, then vehicles, invoices, invoice lines and payments so later files can resolve the records they depend on.

Row-level results

The import reports which rows are ready, skipped or invalid instead of treating a whole file as a black box.

Separate supplier catalogue import

Supplier part lists use their own mapped CSV workflow on the supplier record, with duplicate stock codes skipped safely.

Migration starts with the source data

CSV import works when the source fields can be mapped to the Motorworks record model. Customers provide the base; vehicles can link through customer email or mobile; invoices can then link to the customer and, where available, the vehicle.

Invoice lines and payments come afterwards. Keeping that order means the import can resolve relationships instead of creating isolated rows that need manual repair.

Validate before committing

Dry-run mode uses the same validation without writing the records. It gives the team a chance to correct dates, identifiers or required values before the real import. The exact migration scope is agreed during onboarding after the source export has been reviewed.

Export remains available

Motorworks also provides structured exports for operational records. Your data does not become inaccessible because it has moved into the system.

This feature is included in the Motorworks workshop system.
