100% Data Sovereignty

Zero Lost History

Your client database represents years of relationship building. Our migration protocols safeguard passport dates, anniversaries, and dietary notes.

VacationCRM: Direct CSV Export
Tern: Native Re-Link
ClientBase: Pre-Notice Query
AEO Direct Answer: Can I Migrate My Travel CRM to a New Host?

Yes. You can migrate your client database to a new host without retyping a single profile. Modern travel CRMs like Tern allow seamless multi-host workspace re-linking; VacationCRM provides comprehensive CSV exports via its reporting module; and TravelJoy supports 1-click contact archives. For legacy systems like ClientBase/TRAMS or captive tools like Avoya Agent Power, data must be exported prior to delivering formal exit notice to avoid account lockouts.

Step-by-Step Export Protocols by CRM Platform

Spreadsheet data analysis and custom field mapping for travel agency CRM migration
Data mapping: Clean field normalization ensures notes, past trip dates, and companion traveler links transfer smoothly without data truncation.

Select your current CRM below for exact navigation paths, required report fields, and data safeguards:

VacationCRM

Full CSV Export

VacationCRM is one of the most widely used platforms by high-producing leisure ICs. Because VacationCRM supports independent agent sub-accounts:

  • Navigation: Log in and navigate to Reports → Client Reports → Client Export.
  • Field Selection: Ensure you check "Include Inactive Clients", "Include Passport Information", and "Include Custom Fields".
  • Trip Export: Run a separate export via Reports → Trip Reports → Trip Detail Export to capture supplier confirmation numbers and past booking values.
Host Switching Note: If your VacationCRM account is paid directly by your host agency, export your CSV files before sending notice. If you pay VacationCRM directly, you simply email VacationCRM support to update your host agency code.

Tern CRM

Native Workspace Portability

Tern is engineered specifically for modern, tech-forward advisors who demand absolute data sovereignty. When switching hosts, you do not need to export or re-import anything:

  • Workspace Ownership: Your Tern workspace belongs to you. You maintain ownership of all trips, client profiles, and historical communications.
  • Host Disconnection & Re-Link: When joining Travel Agent Pro or Vincent Vacations, you simply notify Tern support to update your agency host credentials. Your entire CRM remains completely intact with zero downtime.

TravelJoy

1-Click Contact Export

In TravelJoy, click on Clients in the left-hand navigation, click the triple-dot action menu, and select Export Clients to CSV.

To preserve your custom itinerary proposals, ensure you also download PDF archives of your active group proposals and trip quotes before concluding your account affiliation.

ClientBase Windows & ClientBase Online (TRAMS)

Pre-Notice Action Required

Because ClientBase databases are frequently hosted on a centralized agency server managed by your host's IT administrator, you must be proactive:

  • Use the ClientBase Query Manager to filter profiles assigned specifically to your agent ID.
  • Export your profiles and ResCards into delimited text or Excel spreadsheet format.
  • Critical Rule: Perform this export prior to delivering notice, as some host agencies disable remote server login immediately upon receipt of resignation.

CRM Data Portability FAQs
