Why the migration is usually the hard part, and why it isn't here

The reason ship suppliers stay on a system they have outgrown is the migration: the fear of a long project, a data mess and a period where nobody can quote. Tidal is designed to remove that risk. It is not a heavy on-premise rollout, it is a cloud system that connects to your inbox, imports your catalogue and margin rules, and is quoting within about a week.

A staged move, not a big-bang cutover

Because Tidal runs standalone or alongside an existing ERP, you do not have to switch everything at once. Move the quoting workflow to Tidal first, where the time is lost today, and keep your old system for accounting or historic reference. Confirmed orders and invoices sync out by API or CSV, so a finance system stays in step. When you are ready, retire the legacy ERP on your own timeline.

What you keep, and what gets better

Your catalogue, your margins and your IMPA and ISSA coding all carry across. What changes is speed: Tidal reads inbound email RFQs, matches every line to a code at over 90% first-pass accuracy, applies your margins and returns a quote in under 30 minutes. Tidal is publicly priced from $2,500 per month with no per-RFQ fees or volume caps.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to migrate off a legacy ship supply ERP?

Most ship suppliers go live on Tidal in about a week. There is no multi-month implementation: Tidal imports your catalogue and margin rules, connects to your inbox, and starts quoting. You can run it alongside your existing ERP during the cutover so nothing stops.

What data comes across in the migration?

Your product catalogue and margin rules are imported so quotes reflect your pricing from day one. Items are matched to IMPA and ISSA codes, and confirmed orders and invoices can sync to a finance system by API or CSV. Historic records can stay in your old system for reference during the transition.

Can we run Tidal alongside our old ERP during the switch?

Yes. Tidal runs standalone or alongside an existing ERP, so you can move quoting to Tidal first, keep your old system for accounting or reference, and retire it on your own timeline rather than in a single risky cutover.

Do we lose IMPA and ISSA coding when we migrate?

No. Tidal matches requisition lines to IMPA and ISSA catalogue codes at over 90% first-pass accuracy, so coded quoting continues, and typically improves, after the move.
