The ten-minute import

Drop any export into our importer — a CSV, a calendar file, even a PDF of contracts or invoices — and the AI reads your bookings, clients and venues in for you to review. Nothing is re-typed, nothing imports until you approve it, and every record stays editable afterwards.

Or we'll do it for you — free

Email your exports to hello@gig-nest.com with the subject Migration and a human will have your account set up within one working day. Whatever files you can get out — spreadsheets, PDFs, screenshots of your diary — we'll work with them.

Run both side by side

Nothing here requires cancelling your current platform on day one. Import your bookings, take a few enquiries through the new flow, and switch off the old one when — and only when — you're sure. Your data stays exportable here too, always.
