How to migrate from Extensiv to SKUSavvy

SKUSavvy imports from CSV files and the Shopify sync. There is no one-click importer from another WMS, so plan a short parallel run.

1. Pick a cutover window. Choose a slower week and keep Extensiv running while you set up, so orders keep shipping.

2. Start a trial and connect Shopify. Products, orders and inventory sync both ways. See the Shopify connection guide.

3. Build your warehouse map. Draw shelves and bins in the layout editor so put-away, picking and counts all use the same map.

4. Export inventory from Extensiv. Export on-hand quantities by bin location, with lots, expiry dates or serial numbers if you track them, as a CSV file.

5. Import into SKUSavvy. Import inventory, bin barcodes, kits, vendors and open purchase orders from CSV, then print bin labels.

6. Connect your carrier accounts and test labels on a few orders.

7. Count, then cut over. Cycle count your fastest movers, then switch picking and packing to SKUSavvy. Turn off inventory sync from Extensiv to Shopify, so only one system updates stock.

Want help? Optional managed implementation costs $2,750 plus $250 a month for support, and covers data imports, the warehouse map, bin labels and the Shopify connection.
