Switching to Flowyana
Move your business over without losing a day of trading.
Switching software is mostly about the data and the people, not the product. Here is exactly what we do, in the order we do it — so you can judge the effort before you commit.
The six steps
What switching actually involves.
- 1
Tell us how you run
What you sell, how many branches and people, what you use today, and what has to be true on day one. That conversation decides the module set and the plan.
- 2
We set up the workspace
Country, tax rates and labels, currency, financial year, branches, roles, document branding — configured for your business before you log in.
- 3
Your data is loaded
Products with barcodes and prices, clients and suppliers with balances, price lists, menus, properties, or service catalogs — whatever your modules need. We agree the source (exports, spreadsheets) with you.
- 4
Opening balances and the books
Chart of accounts set up with you, opening balances entered as at your cutover date, tax split correctly. History is a case-by-case conversation; we are straight about what is worth bringing.
- 5
Walkthrough on your data
A live session for the people who will use it daily: the counter, the back office, the accountant. Questions answered on your records, not a sample company.
- 6
Go live, then grow
Run the first week with us close by. Add modules later without a second migration: they work on the records you already have.
What to bring
The data that makes day one work.
Exports from your current software or well-kept spreadsheets are enough. We tell you which columns matter and check the load with you before go-live.
Coming from a specific product? The comparison pages say honestly what carries across and what each product does differently.
Products and stock
Names, barcodes, categories, units, prices, opening quantities per location.
Clients and suppliers
Contacts, credit terms, and outstanding balances as at cutover.
Price lists and menus
Retail prices, wholesale lists, restaurant menus with modifiers.
Chart of accounts
Your existing structure, mapped — or a clean one set up with you.
Staff and roles
Who works where, what each role may see and do.
Document branding
Logo, business details, registration numbers, Arabic–English labels where needed.
Questions
What owners ask before they switch.
Can we move from Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Odoo, or Foodics?
Yes. We load products, clients, suppliers, price lists, and opening balances from your exports and set up the chart of accounts and tax rates with you. What comes across beyond that depends on the source and is agreed case by case — see the comparison pages for how each product differs.
How long does switching take?
It depends on your data more than on the software. Once products, price lists, and clients are ready, modules are switched on and configured rather than built; most small businesses go live within weeks, larger multi-branch setups are planned around the data and the team.
Do we have to move everything at once?
No. Flowyana is sold per module, so a shop can start with POS and inventory and add accounting next quarter, or a rental firm can start with rentals alone. Later modules work on the records already there.
Will our accountant still be able to work the way they do?
The books are full double-entry — vouchers, ledgers, account groups, financial year, exchange rates — and every posting is readable and exportable. Reports and statements read live. Show the accountant the demo; the voucher an invoice writes is the fastest way to earn their trust.
What does onboarding cost?
It is part of your itemized quote, sized by modules, branches, and the data to load. No bundle, no surprise line.

Name the software, the branches, and the people. We’ll say plainly what carries across, how long it takes, and what it costs — in writing.
