Migrate from Táve / VSCO Workspace
Move from Táve / VSCO Workspace to PeakSpitz, safely.
Moving off Táve / VSCO Workspace should feel like restoring from a backup, not a leap of faith. Your studio management tool data is read into a PeakSpitz environment of your own, checked against your real numbers, and run in parallel — while Táve / VSCO Workspace keeps running, untouched, the whole time. Here is exactly how, step by step.
Táve is a deep, highly customizable studio-management CRM built for power users: some of the most flexible automated workflows in the category, layered contracts, questionnaires, invoicing and payment schedules. Photographers who like configuring every trigger and template often swear by it. The catch is that this depth is CRM depth; it still does not run the wider business (no real double-entry accounting/VAT, no inventory, no storefront), and the very customization that is a strength means a lot of bespoke automation logic and conditional templates to rebuild when you consolidate onto one platform.
The safe way to leave Táve / VSCO Workspace
Work down the list at your own pace. Nothing here is irreversible, and your current system stays live throughout.
- 1
Before you touch anything — get a backup you own
Get a copy of your data out of Táve / VSCO Workspace that you control — a file held on your side, not just a setting inside the system. Confirm in your contract that you have the right to export, and note any renewal, notice or lock-in dates so the timing stays on your terms.
- 2
Export your data
Pull clients, shoots, galleries, contracts and invoices out of Táve / VSCO Workspace in the most complete format it offers — CSV, spreadsheet, or an account/API export. Take the history too, not just open items: past records, documents and contacts are worth keeping.
- 3
Send us a sample
Before you commit, send us a representative slice — a handful of customers, a few recent orders or bookings, part of your catalogue. We map it into PeakSpitz and show you the restored result, so you see exactly how your studio management tool data lands before you move the rest.
- 4
See what maps to what
We line Táve / VSCO Workspace up against PeakSpitz: clients, shoots, galleries, contracts and invoices become customers, catalogue, orders, documents and ledgers in one joined-up system. Anything without an obvious home is flagged early, not discovered late.
- 5
Bring it in — a read-only restore
Your data is read into a fresh, isolated PeakSpitz environment of your own. Nothing inside Táve / VSCO Workspace is touched, changed or switched off — it keeps running exactly as it is.
- 6
Verify against your numbers
Before you trust it, reconcile the totals — balances, counts, tax and revenue — against what Táve / VSCO Workspace shows today. The numbers have to match before anything goes live.
- 7
Run both in parallel
Keep Táve / VSCO Workspace live and run PeakSpitz alongside it for as long as you like. Compare like for like, move one area across first, and build trust before you depend on it. No big-bang cutover, and no deadline from us.
- 8
Cross over and decommission — on your terms
Switch over only when PeakSpitz has earned it. Keep your Táve / VSCO Workspace export archived as a safety net, and close the old subscription when you are ready — not a moment before.

What to watch when leaving Táve / VSCO Workspace
- ⚠
Táve's deeply customized workflows are its signature, and they are re-built, not migrated. Budget time to re-express your triggers and task automations as PeakSpitz automations where Spitz drafts the step and acts on your approval.
- ⚠
Contracts and questionnaires in Táve are often heavily conditional; the templates are re-created and historical signed contracts and completed questionnaires typically archive read-only.
- ⚠
Payment schedules on in-flight jobs are a cutover decision: pick a date and choose which open instalment plans continue in PeakSpitz; stored cards do not transfer, so clients on autopay re-authorise.
- ⚠
If you run more than one brand or studio inside a single Táve account, plan how those separate into distinct customer records rather than assuming a one-to-one lift.
Common questions about leaving Táve / VSCO Workspace
I've spent years tuning my Táve automations, do they carry over?
The logic lives in your head, not in an import; every studio tool re-builds automations on a new platform. The upside is you consolidate them alongside real accounting, inventory and a storefront, so a workflow can touch the actual books, not just email.
Does PeakSpitz handle payment plans like Táve's schedules?
Yes; invoices support instalments and every payment posts to real accounts with VAT. In-flight schedules are a cutover decision, meaning you choose which continue in PeakSpitz versus finish out in Táve.
Is PeakSpitz as customizable as Táve?
For raw workflow depth, Táve is hard to beat, credit where due. PeakSpitz trades some of that CRM tunability for running the whole business in one system and covers the genuinely bespoke through its open REST API and webhooks.
