Switching from another
scheduling platform

When your scheduling vendor gets acquired or changes direction, your agency shouldn't have to start over. Bring your data and pick up where you left off.

Your data comes with you.

Our import tools are built for interpreting agency data, including your history, contacts and rates. You don't have to start from scratch.

How the move works

We Import

Our tooling maps your data into Handshapes. We validate everything before go-live.

4

Go Live

Your team starts using Handshapes. You can keep the old system running alongside it for a while if you want.

Who you'd be working with

Software-Only

We sell software, not interpreting services. No conflict of interest. Your interpreters and customers stay yours.

Independent

We're not backed by a VRI company or an interpreting conglomerate. We decide our roadmap based on what agencies need, with no parent company to answer to.

Built by Operators

Our co-founder runs a nationwide ASL agency. We built Handshapes because we needed it.

Questions about switching

Most agencies are up and running within two weeks. Complex data sets may take longer, but we'll give you a timeline upfront.
Yes. Many agencies run their old system alongside Handshapes during the transition. Switch over when you're ready.
We map everything we can. If something doesn't have a direct equivalent, we'll flag it and work with you on the best approach.
We've dealt with this before. We can work with CSV exports, API access, or manual data entry for smaller datasets.
Ask us. Migration help is part of getting you set up, and we don't sell it as an extra.

Let's talk about your transition.

We'll go through your data and workflows and show you what switching would look like for your team.
