See the migration planOrion presents Sirius e alongside products such as Web Cart and Sirius ERP. Identify the modules in your setup and whether you use cloud or on-premise deployment. Compare the complete configuration rather than assuming every Orion function belongs to the same package.
01 / Platform
Independent shops connecting rentals, sales, repairs and their website.
QuickBooks and Sage exports are separate from Heyquip’s integrated accounting module. A person reviews and imports these files; they are not an automatic sync. Confirm the accounting configuration and records your shop needs.
Your team prepares supported templates. Extraction and cleanup are separately scoped. Check current inclusions and weekday support hours.
02 / Platform
Rental teams coordinating logistics, yard and workshop work.
Demonstrate the handoff between returned equipment, repair work and available inventory. Confirm the regional accounting interface and online ordering journey.
Request a proposal covering the required modules, migration responsibilities, training and support.
03 / Platform
Equipment businesses evaluating rental, service and financial modules.
Specify the product edition and modules. A feature elsewhere in the Texada catalogue is not automatically included in your configuration.
Request a configuration-specific quote and a written plan for data mapping, balances, training and cutover.
04 / Platform
Multi-branch operators evaluating dispatch and integrated financial workflows.
Confirm the country and edition of each accounting connection. A request-and-payment portal does not establish public storefront checkout; see that journey demonstrated.
Quotes depend on branches, fleet and modules. Moab describes an implementation lead and migration of customers, assets, rates and open contracts. Agree cleanup and reconciliation responsibilities.
05 / Platform
Operators choosing between QuickBooks-connected Core and an integrated Enterprise ERP.
Compare the actual edition and optional portal, mobile and dispatch tools. Do not assume Core includes the Enterprise accounting scope.
Request a written quote for your modules, locations and implementation scope. Agree on a sample import, open balances, historical records and responsibilities before scheduling the move.
06 / Platform
Shops prioritising online bookings and inventory.
Maintenance downtime does not establish billable repair orders with parts and labour. Demonstrate that workflow and the accounting handoff, including any Zapier automation.
Compare the plan, website add-ons and location requirements. Agree which records can be imported and who prepares them.
For Canadian shops, include your applicable taxes, CAD payments, French customer documents and exact accounting edition in the demonstration. An undocumented feature is a question to resolve, not proof that it is missing.
Ask for first-year and renewal totals using the same locations, users and workflows. Separate subscription, modules, website work, extraction, cleanup, implementation, training, processing fees, hardware and taxes. Include your team’s preparation time and any overlap with the old system.
Use the exact Sirius e modules and connected products in your current contract. Record Web Cart, ERP, mobile and logistics requirements separately. Ask the replacement vendor to map each required workflow and identify any external tools.
Build an order with accessories, a deposit, delivery and a service task. Change the reservation and show the effect on availability and billing.
Request a sample export, accepted formats and a trial migration. Reconcile open records and balances with your team. Agree on archive retention, old-system access and responsibilities before setting a changeover date.
If you want rentals, sales, repairs and your customer website connected, bring us your everyday workflow. We’ll look at the fit and the migration responsibilities together.
