Migrate your Opto data
Opto Enterprise is inventory management software for small-to-mid-sized operations that tracks stock in real time with barcode scanning, reorder alerts, and eCommerce integrations.
In its favor
Why people choose Opto
The signal that keeps Opto on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Real-time stock visibility with barcode scanning keeps small warehouses from running out during unexpected demand spikes.
Automated reorder alerts reduce the manual checking that small ops teams otherwise do in spreadsheets.
eCommerce and accounting integrations allow a single-tool workflow for small retail and wholesale businesses.
Low complexity onboarding appeals to teams with no dedicated IT staff who need to go live quickly.
Lack of an exposed REST API limits automation and third-party integrations beyond the pre-built connectors.
Reporting and analytics lag behind dedicated BI tools, pushing power users toward platforms with richer dashboards.
Scalability concerns arise when transaction volume grows beyond mid-size, prompting a move to full-featured ERPs.

What gets migrated
Opto object support
Object-by-object support for Opto migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Items
Fully supportedItems are the central inventory record in Opto Enterprise, containing SKU, name, description, unit cost, and reorder point. We extract all standard Item fields and any custom properties the account has added. The Item-to-Stock Location relationship is preserved at the record level.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records include contact name, email, phone, and billing address. We map these to the destination's Customer or Account object, preserving any customer-specific pricing tiers if the destination schema supports them.
Vendors
Fully supportedVendor records hold supplier name, contact, and payment terms. We map Vendors to the destination's Vendor object and carry forward any configured lead-time data associated with Items.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPurchase Orders link a Vendor to one or more Items with quantities and expected delivery dates. Not all destination ERPs use a Purchase Order object; we convert these to Purchase Requests or Approved Orders as needed and flag any that are partially received for manual reconciliation.
Stock Locations
Mapping requiredOpto Enterprise supports multi-location inventory with named bins or warehouses. Where the destination has a flat location model, we flatten the hierarchy and preserve the location name as a label.
Reorder Rules
Mapping requiredReorder Rules define per-Item minimum thresholds and reorder quantities. These are custom configuration rather than transactional data — we export them as a structured CSV and document the manual reconfiguration steps for the destination.
Invoices (AR/AP)
Mapping requiredOpen and historical invoices are exported with line items, amounts, and payment status. We separate open invoices from historical records so open items can be re-created or manually reconciled at the destination.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredBoth Item and Customer records may carry custom fields unique to the account. We extract the full custom-field schema during discovery and map each field to an equivalent custom field in the destination or flag it as a manual data-point if no equivalent exists.

Not publicly documented in detail — confirmed during scoping; .NET and REST API access is published into Opto. Scopes limited to read-only on the data we move.
Map
We translate Opto-specific structures (custom fields, objects, value lists) to the destination's model.
Sample
Test with a 50–200 record subset to validate Opto quirks before production.
