If you are an existing Bluetent client and are switching Property Management Software systems, Bluetent needs to be officially notified to insure the following:

  • You don’t lose functionality of your Rezfusion Websites or Boost

  • Contracts are updated with your new software provider

  • All Bluetent products and services are migrated by the appropriate teams

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • DO NOT DISCONNECT your old software connection until advised to do so by Bluetent. You will need to run both software systems in tandem for the duration of the migration

  • During your migration, your listings could be unpublished for as long as 48 hours

  1. Fill out migration typeform to notify Bluetent of your migration plans so that we can prepare to migrate your Bluetent products and services to your new software provider.

  2. Our Success Team will reach out to update any contracts or agreements for each Bluetent product/service to be migrated from your old software to your new software.

  3. Prior to assigning the project to our team, there will be a couple of steps to complete.

    1. Map your listings from your original software to your new software provider

    2. Fill out a simple configuration form

    3. Share contact info for the implementation specialist at your new software provider with Bluetent

  4. We will assign an Implementation Project Manager to work with you to complete the migration process.

    1. Expect to meet with your Bluetent implementation project manager before and after, the migration to sort out any details, issues, and questions.

    2. Bluetent will provide you a list of your listings from your old software matched to units in your existing software. At that time, please indicate to your Bluetent implementation project manager if you have new properties that you want bookable, or properties from your old system that you no longer manage.

  5. Connect Rezfusion to your data on the new software and distribute your property data to Bluetent.

    1. REZFUSION WEBSITES Cloud, Essential Click here for web instructions

    2. REZFUSION BOOST Click here for Boost instructions

  6. For every product you are using a separate migration will be completed. i.e. if you have 2 Cloud sites and also use Boost, there will be 3 migrations needed

  7. Confirm that your new software has been fully completed. Including, but not limited to fees, taxes, availability, photos, amenities, payment processing, etc. Essentially be sure to have everything configured to go live with your new system before we start the migration.

  8. QA your Bluetent product after the migration to ensure completeness and accuracy of your data.
