Migrate your Microsoft Access asset database to AssetOS.

That Access database has run your assets for years — but it lives on one PC, breaks when the person who built it leaves, and has no mobile or audit trail. We move it into AssetOS for you, free with any annual plan.

  • ✓Free with any annual plan
  • ✓We map your asset data for you
  • ✓Review your migrated data in staging before go-live

Why teams move off Microsoft Access

Microsoft Access works for some teams. Here’s what usually pushes people to switch.

!

Single point of failure

Access databases usually live on one machine or a shared drive, maintained by one person. When they leave or the file corrupts, the whole system is at risk.

!

No real multi-user access

Access struggles with concurrent users and locks up under load. Field teams can’t update records from their phones, and remote access is painful.

!

No audit trail or compliance tracking

There’s no built-in record of who changed what, no deadline reminders, and no compliance reporting — a problem the moment an auditor asks.

!

Brittle and unsupported

Custom forms and macros break with Office updates, and almost nobody is left who can safely modify the schema.

How the migration works

Four steps. You do the first one; we do the rest.

1

Send us your export

Hand us a CSV, a database backup, an API key, or a read-only login — whatever you have. No clean-up required on your end.

2

We map your assets

Your asset records come across with the fields you already track, mapped into AssetOS. We dedupe and tidy as we go. Work order history, PM schedules and attachments aren’t part of a migration yet. If they matter to you, tell us and we’ll look at what your export holds.

3

You review a staging workspace

Before anything goes live, you get a private workspace loaded with your data. Nothing is final until you sign off on it.

4

Go live on an annual plan

When you’re happy, we flip it live. The migration is included free with any annual plan. Keep your old system running in parallel as long as you like.

What we move

Your asset records come out of Microsoft Access with the fields you already track.

Where your data is today

If your current tool exports to CSV or Excel, or has an API, send us what it gives you. These are the common ones.

No bridges burned

Switching feels risky. We take the risk off the table.

Review before go-live

You see your data in a staging workspace and sign off before anything becomes your live system.

Run in parallel

Keep your old system running alongside AssetOS for as long as you need. No hard cut-over.

Never locked in

One-click export, any time. We moved you in; we’ll never hold your data hostage to keep you.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get data out of an Access database?

Send us the .accdb / .mdb file or table exports (CSV/Excel). We inspect the schema, find the tables that hold your assets, and map them into AssetOS fields.

My Access database is a mess of linked tables. Is that a problem?

No — that’s normal for databases that have grown over years. Untangling linked tables to find your asset records and removing duplicates is part of the migration. You don’t need to clean it up first.

Will the maintenance history survive?

Not yet. A migration covers your asset records today. Maintenance history doesn’t come across as AssetOS work orders, so keep the Access file as your record of past work. Tell us what you have and we’ll say what’s possible before you commit.

What does it cost?

The migration is free with any annual AssetOS plan. We review your database first and confirm scope before you commit.

Can I keep the Access file as a backup?

Absolutely — keep it as long as you like. You review the migrated data in a staging workspace before go-live, and AssetOS supports one-click export, so you’re never locked in.

Coming from something else?

We also have dedicated migration guides for these systems.
