SOUND FAMILIAR?

Here is what shop owners tell us about GarageTool before they switch.

Locked into wrap-only software when your shop also does signs, banners, or screen printing

Need separate software for every decoration method outside of wraps

No AI features — every PO, every email, every quote entered by hand

No team chat, no push-to-talk, no production floor display for your crew

No color separation tools, no art cleanup tools, no digital asset store

Cannot scale beyond wraps and signs without bolting on more subscriptions

MIGRATE IN 4 STEPS

Our CSV Import Wizard handles the field mapping automatically. You just upload and confirm.

Export from GarageTool

In GarageTool, export your customer list and job history as CSV files. Most plans include a data export option under Settings or Account.

Upload to Kontrol™

In your Kontrol™ settings, open the CSV Import Wizard under the Data tab. Drop your files in — we handle the column mapping automatically.

Preview & confirm

We show you exactly what will be imported before writing anything. Review counts, check for duplicates, and dry-run if you want.

You are live

Your customers, jobs, and invoices are all in Kontrol™. Your team can start using it immediately — wraps plus every other method you offer.

Dry-run mode — see exactly what imports before it happens

Preview your migration before committing. We show you exactly how many customers, jobs, and invoices will be created, flag any duplicates, and let you run a dry-run that writes nothing to the database.

SHOP OWNERS WHO MADE THE SWITCH

“We started as a wrap shop but added screen printing last year. GarageTool had no way to handle that. Kontrol runs both under one roof.”

Jason M.

Owner, wrap + print shop

“The AI inbox reads customer emails and creates jobs automatically. We were doing that by hand in GarageTool for years.”

Tanya R.

Shop Manager, sign & banner company

“KrewKast on our shop TV changed everything. The production floor team sees exactly what is next without asking me every 10 minutes.”

Chris L.

Owner, 4-bay wrap shop

COMMON QUESTIONS

Will my GarageTool data import correctly?

Yes. Our CSV Import Wizard reads standard export formats and automatically maps company names, contact info, job numbers, statuses, and pricing data. You can run a dry-run first to preview exactly what will be imported before any data is written.

What GarageTool data can I import?

Customers (company name, contact, email, phone, address) and Jobs (job number, status, dates, line items, pricing, notes). Invoice records are also created automatically from job data. Vehicle-specific measurement data should be re-entered or linked to your preferred measurement database.

Does Kontrol have vehicle wrap estimating?

Yes. Kontrol™ supports wrap-specific quoting with material costs, labor rates, and vehicle-based pricing. While GarageTool has a built-in 15,000+ vehicle measurement database, Kontrol™ integrates with industry measurement tools and lets you build custom vehicle templates.

Can I run GarageTool and Kontrol side-by-side while transitioning?

Absolutely. Many shops run both for 2–4 weeks while training staff. The import is additive — it will not overwrite existing records.

What if my shop does more than wraps?

That is exactly why shops switch. Kontrol™ supports 11 decoration pipelines out of the box: vehicle wraps, screen printing, embroidery, DTF, sublimation, banners, signs, promotional products, and more. One subscription, one login, one production queue.

How is Kontrol priced versus GarageTool?

Both start at $99/mo. The difference is what you get: GarageTool is limited to wraps and signs. Kontrol™ Starter at $99/mo includes 90+ modules across 11 decoration methods, AI tools, team chat, production displays, and unlimited jobs. At comparable tiers ($249/mo), Kontrol™ Professional includes 10 users and the full platform versus GarageTool Pro which remains wrap/sign-only.

Are there limits on jobs or invoices?

No. Every Kontrol™ plan — including Starter at $99/mo — includes unlimited jobs, invoices, and customer management. No per-job fees, no hidden caps.

WHAT ACTUALLY MIGRATES.

We believe in transparency. Here's exactly what transfers from GarageToolto Kontrol™ and what needs manual setup. No surprises.

GarageTool's primary data export path is through QuickBooks integration. If you use GarageTool with QuickBooks, export your customer list from QB and import into Kontrol™. For job history and wrap-specific data, contact GarageTool support for available export options. Our support team provides hands-on migration assistance.

Migration imports are best-effort based on the data GarageToolmakes available via CSV or data export. Actual results depend on the completeness and format of your exported data. We recommend running a dry-run import first and verifying all records before going live. Art files, design assets, and platform-specific configurations are not transferable between systems and will need to be re-uploaded or re-configured in Kontrol™.
