The one where Stilt helped migrate 15 years of customer data, in a pinch!

Background - Problem

Teasdale Fenton, a multi-state residential contractor with 40+ technicians, faced a potential turning point in their history when their outdated software system, Camelot, which lacked cloud capabilities and hindered operational efficiency, unexpectedly notified Teasdale that they would be turning the lights off in just a couple of months.

It was crucial for Teasdale that the switch to Stilt, a modern and much more efficient system, included the migration of over 15 years of accumulated data and a minimal impact to their business operations.
