Recreating every module
Bring over the operations you rely on, not the complexity you inherited from a broad install.
Migration plan
Migration here is mostly subtraction. We rebuild the operations core — inventory, procurement, sales, POS — as configured workflows, and retire the custom modules whose main cost was keeping them alive across upgrades. The data comes over; the maintenance burden does not.
The plan
The same five-phase framework works whatever you are coming from. We start with the highest-risk workflow, prove it in parallel, then expand — so operations never stop while you switch.
Inventory the records, integrations, and workflows in use, and pinpoint the one carrying the most operational risk.
Clean and standardize items, vendors, customers, and locations so they import without carrying drift into AWRA.
Set up roles, locations, approval paths, and the workflows that mirror how your team actually operates.
Move one live workflow and run it alongside the old tool to validate accuracy, approvals, and reporting.
Make AWRA the source of truth, then phase out the old tool once parity and trust are proven.
What moves
A practical map of what comes across and what it becomes once it is part of one connected operating system.
Avoid these
The migrations that go smoothly all avoid the same handful of traps when leaving open-source modular erp.
Bring over the operations you rely on, not the complexity you inherited from a broad install.
Export your data and document custom logic before you stop paying a partner to maintain it.
Confirm eTIMS and M-Pesa behaviour matches before retiring custom localization code.
How long it takes
Most teams stand up the operations core in 2–6 weeks, without waiting on a development cycle.
At a glance

Other migrations
Teams outgrow the workbook when approvals, audit trails, and live stock matter.
When finance is solid but operations still run on add-ons and manual updates.
When stock is handled but every neighbouring workflow is a separate app.
When you need ERP-grade control without an ERP-grade implementation.
When the bundle is broad but the workflow still falls between the apps.
When flexible boards are doing the job a real operations system should.
